AUTO MANUFACTURERS
install CAR HEATERS

One OF the outstanding feature,
OF motor car production this season
is the trend toward car heaters
Twenty motor car manufacturers
are eQuipping all or part of their
line OF closed car with car heaters
This may be regarded as an indi-
cation that before long a heater
will be considered as a necessary
part OF standard equipment to the
same extent as starter.
Comfort being one of the princi-
pal features OF pwrer interest. car
beaters are certain to have a strong
appeal to car owners and influence
their decision In purchasing a car.
Closed cars particularly have all
ways been sold on the basis Of COM
fort and all-year use. Inasmuch as
warmth is essential to comfort in
fall and winter, the argument is ad-
vanced that a nonheated automobile
Is very much like a house without
a furnace and dependent only on its
walls and roof for protection.
Nor is the car owner the only one
to gain by increased use OF motor
car heaters. Automobile manufac-
turer and dealer. alike. reap bene-
fits.

EASY TO COMPUTE
YOUR TON-MILEAGE

Ton-mileage is one Of the things
truck owner ought to know how
to compute in order to be able to
make proper estimates of truck per-
formance.
The method OF computing ton-mile
age Is very simple. says the United
States Tire Company In making
the computation 1t is apparent that
two methods of hauling must be
considered. one case being where the
whole load is carried the full distance
and the other where parts of the
load arc taken of or put on at vari-
Gus points along the trip.
Just as there are two kinds Of
loads. there are two units Of meas
urement. For the load that is car
ried the full distance there is the
measurement known as the absolute
ton-mile. and for the load that Is
dropped piecemeal in the trucks
journey there is the commercial ton
mile.
The absolute ton-mile Is a ton
carried one mile. If a truck carries
four tons one mile. the ton-mileage
is four or If one ton goes four miles
the ton-mileage is four. Four tons
carried four miles make sixteen tom
miles. This method of computation
Is so simple that the truck owner
can readily work out his ton-mileage
on trucks that leave the whole load
at the end of the trip.

Two Women, Alone, Tour
1900 Miles in Cadillac

Mrs. NJ. NJ Marlborough and her
daughter. Mrs. L. 7. Cunningham.
both Of d. Y. Cunningham. both Of
Dallas. have apparently set the rec
ord for woman motorists. In the
last two summers their travels have
amounted to 1900 miles, and they
are planning a more extensive Jour
ney for the next summer.
In 1915 they thoroughly covered the
Southern and Eastern States. trav-
cling 1000 miles in a Cadillac VIC
toria. One set OF tires sufficed for
the entire tour. Starting at Dallas,
they crossed the Southern States to
Florida then north to New York. TO
the White Mountains across Canada
to the Great Lakes. and south again
through the Mississippi Valley.
This year their tour was not so
pretentious. From Dallas they
crossed the Southwest to Los Angeles
and return a matter of 5000 miles.
On both trips they Travelled alone,
doing all the driving. and depending
on men only for occasional inspec-
tions Of the car. The Cadillac used
on these Journeys travelled total
distance Of more than 100000 miles.
Both women are strong advocates
OF closed cars for touring. The many
convenisnces. and the protection
from inclement weather offer strong
inducements TO The woman motorist.

COLE AUTO co. PLANS
MANY NEW DESIGNS

The policy OF the Cole Motor Car
Company. as explained by Gibson.
the local Cole dealer Is to produce
cars that are seasons ahead In de-
sign with mechanical improvements
exclusively their own that are new
to the motor industry. For example.
the Cole Motor Car Company was
one Of the first two companies in
America to build an eiGht-cylinder
motor car. And the nrst Cole SIS.

other eight-cylinder cars of today.
The time was in the automobile
industry when designs. styles and
equipment changed with the seasons.
To be in style some owners felt they
had to have a new car each year.
With the Cole that time has passed
Evidence Of that is contained in the
high resale value of Cole cars. In
other words. depreciation on Colo
cars is very low.

MOTOR TRUCK TIRE HISTORY

there would be a great field for the

to today's development. And we
were generally laughed at and de-
rided for predicting a great future
for the motor truck and pneumatic
trucks tires.
Goodyear has been the pioneer in
developing. making and perfectinH
pneumatic tires for motor trucks. and
has now developed a tire that has
long since passed the experimental
stage. The company is not asking
truck makers. agents or users to do
any experimenting.
1t was ten years ago that We
bought a number of trucks for use
about our factory. These were all
equipped with solid tires. and were
extremely primitive In their construc-
ton. The factory was put to work
making q pneumatic tire that would
better protect the motor and save
repair bills.
with the tires that were developed
the trucks soon we're capable of per-
forming more work. because with
pneumatic tires under them the
drivers found II unnecessary to slow
down almost to stopping. as they had
previously done, for bumps and OBJ
structions on the street Speeds were
higher and more miles covered In a
day.
After a careful review OF the situa-
ton 1t was found that fabric tires
would never do for motor trucks.
Fortunately. however. just at this
time experiments were started on cord
tires for electric passenger cars. The
principle of cord construction was

was made practical for the more
powerful gasoline passenger cars.
And. finally. the Development OF the
cord tire was merged with the pneu-
matte truck tire and the final cord
pneumatic truck tire was produced.
so the cord type Of tire came
to be preferred for these freighters.
Competitors continued TO criticise
and deride. but we kept on. had

and sold them
when we had made it clear 20
the world that there was an ex-
tensiye market for pneumatic tires
when truck manufacturers and
users began to admit that we were
right-then the other fellow be-
gan to creep into the market that
had been created
This is the situation today.
Goodyear deserves credit. as the
FIRST to develop the cord principle

cars and then for trucks. BY con-

distributors are slated to go. The
Fordson tractor and Ford motor car
selling interests will be combined by
August 1. 1sn
This Is the most radical change in
selling policy any company in the

means the elimination OF the men who
are primarily responsible for putting

the last eighteen months about 5000
Fordson tractors have heen put onto

number probably will be about

TRUCK EXHIBIT
! WILL FILL HALL
Space IN Huge Armory Can.
not Be Had When Show
Is Formally Opened.

Despite the fact that the Eighth
Coast Artillery ATmory, In which the
National Motor Truck show will be
held January 3 to 10. has more than
10000 square feet Of unbroken floor
space and Ii the largest armory In the
country, there will not be one inch OF
exhibition space unoccupied when the
big New York truck display opens.
Each day more concerns are added 10
the already long list of exhibitors and
Manager s. A. Miles has but little
door space left unallotted.
This can be taken as an indication
that truck manufacturers are lookins
forward to 1870 as the big truck year
and are planning to open their selling
campaigns at the New York truck
show. The leading makers Of the
country are listed to exhibit their
products at this greatest Of all truck
exhibitions which will be held under
the auspices OF the National Auto
mobile Chamber OF Commerce.
Unusual interest is being shown In
the monster transportation conference
which will be a part Of the truck
show. 1t will be held In the audi
torium OF the armory. and judging
from present Indications the attend
ance at this conference will be large.
John r. Eustis. who is In charge OF
the conference, has received word
from factory heads. trafic managers

various. parts Of the country, asking
for information relative to the sub.
jects to be discussed.

methods. and. in fact. every subject
dealing with the motor truck Motor
pictures and lantern slides will bt
used extensively to illustrate the
various talks.
The sessions will be held in tn.
afternoon and evening on each da,
OF the show. so that visitors to the
passenger car exhibition. which viii
be held ut Grand Central Palace durins
the same week, will have an oppor,
tunity OF visiting the motor trucl
exhibition during either the Afternoon
or evening session.
The motor truck conference WILL bs
repeated at the National Motor Trucl
show In Chicago. which follows tn,
New York show. As has been alread,
announced, the motor truck show.
will be held simultaneously with tho
passenger car shows in both New
York and Chicago. This Is done ir
order that the thousands Of visiting
