Increase Costs Of Repairs
And Upkeep Cause Autoists
To Take Better Care Of Cars

But the public who bought and paid
began to wake up and KEEP their
eyes on the tracks.
The tire manufacturers also adj
vised against backing cars against
a curbstone. allowing the wheel to
rest against the edge of the curb,
thus "denting" the tire as long as
the car stood in that position. They
issued warnings about locking the
wheels and sliding on the tires, ex-
cept of course, in dire emergency.
Make Tires Last.
Now, with tires from 25 to so per
cent higher than they were several
years ago, the automobilist has de-
veloped a nerve center in his pocket
book and pays more attention to
these warnings now than ever be-
fore.
At a convention OF tire manuface-
turers held not long ago 1t was
stated that during 1919 not less
than 6S per cent fewer tires were
bought back to the tire dealer be-
cause they did not give the mileage
written into the guarantee.
1t seems paradoxical that tire
manufacturers should want the pub
lie to get more mileage out Of tires

when they would seem to benefit by
the carelessness Of tire users. but,
they claim to have o tire last longer
than the guarantee by careful usage,
is a better advertisement for them.
resulting In securing the good will
of the buyer, than to sell him more
tires that will only be carelessly
used.
Tire Makers Interested.
Since automobile tires cause more
worry TO the automobilist than any
other part OF his machine. II is only
natural that tire manufacturers
should be interested In seeing that
they get proper usage.
However, there are other. things
about which the automobilist has
learned a lesson with regard to in
creased costs.
One important item Is gasoline.
How many automobile owners now
adays, regardless Of how they stand
at their local bank. are willing TO
let an engine run for q half-hour
or more while the car is standing
still? Not many, according to
those best qualified to know.
with the increased use OF the
self -starter, both on trucks and
pleasure vehicles. the driver. even
II he do not be the owner. is very
much more careful than he used
to be because 1t Is easier.
Quick to XIII Engine.
Even on trucks and cars without
self-starters the present price of
gasoline prohibits carelessness in
shutting or the engine when the
car II not running.
