With the combination of the Boss Rubber company and the local Firestone branch, every truck operator in this vicinity is assured of unparal- leled service on truck tires.

ROAMER SALES ROOM |S PLACE IF BEAUTY
 AND ART-VOW OPEN

A suitable and befitting home for the Roamer, Americas Smartest Car" is that which has just recently been opened to the public at 3O5 North Gen. tral avenue. This is to be the Roamer headquarters, not only for Phoenix but for the entire state. E. F. Rowe, for many years actively engaged in the automobile business, will be in charge of the sales organization.
 Probably no display room in the southwest presents a more attractive, a more homelike appearance than does the Roamer sales agency office, or rather home quarters. It is unique in it's appointments, something entirely out of the ordinary for an automobile salesroom.
 It has that atmosphere that invites and makes one feel entirely at home. Its lines are seemingly symetrical, as are the lines of the classy Roamer. And there is harmony, a soft blending of rich tones and pleases the eye and enlightens the senses.
 And when one stops to consider the varying finishes applied to Roamer cars, only such a sales room as that prepared by MT. Rowe could possibly be harmonious. It was with the eyes of an artist that MT. Rowe planned this home.
 Art decorations brighten the side walls, an exceedingly attractive mural decoration by Art Swing being the pre- dominating feature. And this mural work carries deep significance. In the foreground is the village blacksmith shop, the creek nearby, and the winding road that finally winds itself into thin air, oblivion, as it were.
 Then there is a great brick fireplace that speaks words of inviting cheer, beckoning one stop moment and rest his weary limbs.
 On the opposite side are the original hitching rings, set off by English brick walls. Over all, are great mirrors that reflect here, there, everywhere. Even foot mirrors have been inlaid. Genuine Philippine furniture has

TRUCK SUCCESSFULLY ME EGOT|ATES 662-3
 PER CENT INCLINE

H. A. Lewis of Billings, Montana, with an F. W. D. stock chassis, rode up 66 2-9 per cent grade, coming to full stop at four different stages and started again from these positions without regaining one inch of start. The motor did not labor at any stage. Mir. Lewis has tried this same feat with many rear driven trucks but none have ever succeeded in. getting the rear wheels even to the grade. One truck laying tractor did the trick but could not stop on the incline and start again.
