AUTO TIRES LOWER THAN
IN PREVIOUS YEARS

Car Owners who are HOLDING back
on the purchase of tire equipment in
the hope of reduction in prices are
likely to be disappointed. There is
nothinug in the tire manufacturing
situation to indicate a downward
trend Of tire costs.
On the contrary, a "break" that
will necessarily mean the advancing
of prices seems inevitable.
A resume of the tire industry and
the conditions under which it has
developed in the last decade, causes
the casual observer to wonder, in
fact, that tire prices have not already
begun to climb steadily.
Unless one studies carefully the
underlying reasons for the successful
checking of tire prices in the face of
overwhelming advances in virtually
every other commodity, it is rather
amazing to note that prices now are
much lower than they were ten years
ago. 1t is still more interesting to
compare prices of standard manufac-
ture tires today with prices OF the
same product at the beginning of the
war Good tires now cost no more
than in 1914. There has not even
been an appreciate advance in the
last two years. And yet the quality
IS higher and the purchaser gets more
value for his money than ever be-
| fore.
When one considers that prices OF
raw material, labor and Transports
ton have made more tremendous
leaps in the last five years than dur,
ing any period in manufacturing his
tory the natural query concerning the
manufacturers is, How do they hold
down the prices?"
And from this question comes the
answer to another, will the prices
go DOWN."
1t does not appear that decrease
is likely
Manufacturing genius, which has
about reached its limit has kept down
the cost to the tire user. The stand,
ard manufacturer has combated price
increases by developing his processes.
He has expended millions of dollars
in the installation of new machinery,
better machinery and new methods.
He has brought his output up to
maximum and has made his profits
on a quantity margin. He has
St'i''SiASN oNNlhNod ChpCllSCS ny use OF
these weapons and by putting his
distribution on such broad basis as
to make it economical.
Output has about reached its ZEN
18th. SO long as demand continues
strong there is a possibility that tire
prices will remain on their present
level. But if a general determina>
ton to hold out" should spread
among car-owners it is more than
probable that such an attitude would
tend to create a reverse affect to the
one desired and send tire prices rock
citing
An illustration of the surprising
facts recited here may be obtained
from the following table of price
comparisons compiled recently by a
leading tire and rubber company. AL
though this table, of course, shows
only the quotations OF that particular
company, it may be accepted as an
averape because the company is con-
sidered one of, the leaders in the
industry and is a standard manufac-
turing concern.
