For some reason the public will

Nothing is more impossible than for
some small unknown tire manufac-

mean that the little manufacturer
cannot produce a good tire and
gradually expand. But they cannot
and do not build a good tire more
cheaply than the big plants. That

they cannot sell cheaper TO the con-
sumner.
Miller tires are built in what is
said 10 be one Of the largest and

They have been building tires for

ILLINOIS TOWN
KNOWS GOOD THING

Out in Peoria, ILL.,, our people are
glad that the states have ratified the
prohibition constitutional amend
ment." remarked Henry Holmes, of
that city, at the Willard, says a
Washington correspondent. For
many years distilleries at Peoria have
turned out perhaps the greatest
amount Of whiskey Of any city Of its
size in the world. Indeed, Peoria has
been called the whiskey city, and our
people are greatly pleased that now
we shall have an opportunity to show
the country that Peoria does not have
to depend upon the manufacture of
whiskcy to keep It going.
Not many persons, presume,
know that Peoria 10 the birthplace Of
the so-called British tank. which
helped perhaps more than any other
single engine to win the war. 1t was
in Peoria that the first tnak was made.
and the British drew their plans for
the British tanks from the models
made In Peoria. 1t was In Peoria
also that that the frst successful au-
tomobile propelled by a gasoline mo-
tor was made. Until a short time ago
this original automobile could be seen
in the streets Of Peoria--a high
wheeled, awkward-iooking thing.
Zone Of the most recent achieve
ments Of Peoria was the application
or the gasoline motor to farm trac-
tors. Indeed, Peoria II really the
home OF the farm tractor, for It wAs
there that the first practical gasoline
farm tractor was made. SO you see
we have something else than whiskey
to build our reputation on"
