NEW AUTO TRUCK
 WHEEL MAY BE MADE IN CITY
F. E. Magee of Baltimore Here Interesting Local Men to Manufacture Decatur
 Mans Patent

F. E. Magee of Baltimore is in Bir. mingham for the purpose of interesting local capital in the manufacture of g new automobile and truck wheel, which is said to be great improvement over anthing of the kind now in use. He has been interviewing local capitalists since his arrival last Monday and states that he has the assurance of several of these that they will take an interest in the matter.
 A model wheel exhibited by MT. Ma gee in Room 500, Farley building. is attracting considerable attention. It is Alabamian, who until few years ago made his home at Decatur. He has or ganized a corporation with S5,000,00o capital to make the wheels. and it is the intention of the company-the Hat field Resilient Wheel company-to es- tablish four factories, one in Boston for the eastern trade, one in Birming- ham for the southern trade, one in De troit for the northern trade, and one in some western city, not yet selected, for the western trade. The Hatfield wheel differs from
  tire or tube, which gives the residence or absorbs the shock, is placed around the hub. while a composition made by a secret patented process covers the rim. The rim is detachable and the composition surface can only be re- laced at the factory.
 It is claimed for this wheel that II is punetureless and the makers guar antee it to make 25,000 miles; that it is interchangeable and can be used on any car or truck.
 MT. Magee stated yesterday that MT Hatfield, who not only is the inventor. but who controls the company has made up his mind to put one of th' factories in Birmingham, because o@ the fact that steel for the rim and the hub can be obtained from the steel mills here and that for the furthe.
 reason that Birmingham is nearer thu center of the south than any other city he considers suitable for the purpose. According to MT. Magee, the Bir- mingham factory will cost about $200,- 900, and when in operation will give employment to between 200 and 300 men and about 50 women, and that en- Engagements to be made from time to time will increase the investment sev- eral times and bring the number of em- ployes up to 700 or 800.
