FISK COMPANY PRODUCES
EXTRAORDINARY TIRES

More than $4,000 miles In ten
months on the original tire equip
ment in the record made by sedans
now in operation by the Fifty Fifty
Taxi Service Company at Rockford,
Ill. The cars were bought and placed
in commission In March, 1919. and
on January 90. 1920. L. b. Paulette.
eeretary-treasurer of the company,
made the following observations re-
garding the excellent service given
BY the 244 Fisk tires:
Last spring we bought six Will
lys Knight sedans equipped with Fisk
cord tires, 35 Ks. These cars have
been constantly on the go since that
time and at present each one has
been driven over Il 900 miles. The
% Fisk tires that came on these cars
as a standard equipment are still run
ming, and are good for considerable
more mileage. It would not be &c
surprising to have few OF these tires
run to exceed $4,000 miles and still
be going, but 70 have every one of
them come up TO that high mileage
Ia certainly unusual and proves 20 ne
that mileage Is built into each and
every one of.your tires"

TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREDLED SINCE 1898
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Aeet C0untry'S
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
than One-third Of the railways Of the
world. The traffic hauled on the rail-
ways of the United States is now three
times as great as 1t was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then In a year.
IL the three months alone Of the har-
vest movement In 1919 the traffic equal
ed that of the whole year OF 1898.
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads of the country were more
than 100000. 100000 a year. In 1910
they were more than $4,000, 000, 900.
in 1913 more than 100000 900, 900 and
In 1918 more than 100000, 600. Al
though the railway mileage increased
only about 65 per cent since 1890, I'm
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment, etc, have been so marked that
the volume Of goods carried measured
in the number Of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than Ave
times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account OF both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1900
hauled $4,000 traffic units freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway em.
ployee. By 1917, the last year OF pri
yaNa swuaarotaon ~ thu rutIraaas prtnr e.,
the entry of the United States into the
war. that 10000 had been increased
to 100000.
The following table shows the In.
crease In efficiency Of American rail
roads since 1900, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
Of the country:
Ton miles increased. ....... 1907
Passenger miles increased. 1907
Trackage increased ....... 5636
Cars and engine increased. 1876
Workers increased ..... S5ee
Output per worker increased 0096
Average train load increased 1909
These figures show that the trafflc
hauled by the railroads Of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice az fast as the number
Of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment of new
capital to increase the efficiency of the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to increase the
amount of traffic handled and reduce
the amount Of labor required to handle

His address was one Of historical i'm.

Grand Master Bland was accorded an

points of interest and visit among
friends and relatives. Many of the
representatives were taken in autos
over the beautiful drives in and near
the city to points of vantage where
attractive scenery met the eye and
the city's many new improvements
could be seen. This was a pleasure
which many of the visitors had
longed to enjoy, as this was the first
occasion many of the delegates had
to visit the city. 1t was an open
secret that the fame of Keokuk had
attracted the grand lodge to hold it's
session here and that Keokuk is bid:
ding fair to become one of the big
convention cities of the country.

overcome said some of the visitors,

would attract many more visitors
and conventions if there were more
convenient ways of reaching the city
