MILLER TIRE CO.
 PASSES BIC YEAR

The passing of the year of 1919 marked the conclusion of the biggest tire year in the history of the Miller Rubber company. from the standpoint of production and sales. according to F.. C. Millhoff, who is general sales man. ager of that big Akron concern.
 The annual report not having been officially completed at this writing, Mir. Millhoff was not in position to an- nounce the exact figures of sales in crease He did say, however. that the tire sales growth during 1919 would amount to nearly 50 per cent increase over the previous year and that it would exceed even the most optimistic expectations of Miller officials as an- nounced in January, 1919.
 But. in spite of the healthy 1919 showing. Miller appears to have by no means finished it's growing stage The company, 1t is pointed out, has already added much new factory space and equipment which will make possible 2 still greater growth in 1920 than that of 1919.
 Miller, it would seem from reports, is out to smash all of its previous rec ords this coming year. This statement applies to tires and drug sundrie5- Also, it is emphasized that Miller viii not depart in the slightest way from its Tong time policy of expansion"
 The growth that we anticipate and are planning for" said MT. Millhoff.
 will be strictly due to an increased demand for our products. For exam pie. the demand for our tires in 1919 went away ahead of our production facilities. However. we have been constantly building to answer that de- mand and now we are starting the new year with production facilities not only great enough to answer the increased demand of last year. but sufficient to care for a logical growth during the next twelve months"
 When the general sales manager was asked what he considered the biggest factors in the sales growth of Miller tires. he answered: The quality of the tire itself: a wider and more compre- hensive sales policy: highly efficient distribution arrangements and a defi- nite course of fair treatment in all cases"
 That same selling point which es- tablished such prominence for Miller

TY COBB BECOMES
 DIAMOND TIRE MAN

The greatest baseball player of the universe has new prefix to his name. And it is of his own selection. No baseball scribe handed him the new moniker. Cobb selected this name from among more than 200, and it wasn't any Init or miss" choice, either. Furthermore he didn't elect to be called Diamond Tyrus' wholly be- cause of his affection for the great sport played on the diamond. That was only part of his reason
 His new title comes from what is to be his post baseball avocation. Cobb is now a ull-fledged automobile tire distributor. He is distributor for Dia- mond tires in northern Georgia. Re ports from Augusta, headquarters for Tvs company, say that he has entered the tire business with the same dash and enthusiasm he displays in circling the bases or swatting a baseball.
 Diamond Tyrus is in the tire game to stay longer than the long term of years he has cavorted on the baseball field He foreSaw that only super human energy could see him through indefinitely as Americas premier dia mond star And Cobb had long since decided that he wouldn't remain in the game as an ordinary player. He began to lay plans for business future.
 T am arranging to transfer my ac- tive interests from the baseball dia- mond to the Diamond. is the way Tys himself puts it. When he drops his mighty bat to grasp the reins of his tire selling organization. Cobb will have his new venture well under way. His recently closed contract with the rub Der company called for a large initial order and even now Georgians are rid ing on tires sold them by their favor ite son"
 During his career as a ''big leaguer'' Cobb has earned the most enviable record of any American athlete, no matter what the sport. Year after year he has led both major leagues in either batting or base running, or both. For nearly score of years Ty has been nearer the 400 mark than the 'paltry'' 300 score sought by most high class ball ptayers. Cobbs speed and daring as a base runner and stealer has never been equalled. 1919 rounded out his 14th year in basebalFs fastest company.

Baseball records show that Cobb made his debut in Augusta in the spring of 1905 and that before fall he was a member of Detroit Tigers, by the purchase route. On the renowned 1905 Augusta team with Cobb were three other players who afterwards figured in worlds series battles. They were Nap" Fucker. Clyde Engle and Eddie Cicotte.
 Georgia folks declare that Diamond Tyrus is a keen business man. They say everything he touches turns to money" He has always had a banker ing for the automobile business, espe- cially the tire end. Cobb has been an ardent motorist for years.
 In business, as in baseball, he will be Champion of the Diamond" says his partner and pal, Bill Sanford who is assisting the Georgia Peach" in establishing hit record with auto mobile owners.

tires in previous years-uniform mile age combined with greared-to-the- road tread-was undoubtedly most influential factor in the creation of a wide public demand.
 Every day more motorists learn that the tires that uniformly wear the longest are the lowest in cost per mile. That is where the uniform mileage feature plays prominent part Millers do wear uniformly.
 The geared- road tread also stands out just as distinctively as a Miller characteristic It is so well known that explanation of it's con struction is unnecessary.
 The fact that the Miller tire is the only tire in the world combining these two features gives the public some thing really tangible on which to ere ate a preference for Millers."

Note the Quality of the Essex

If speed is your requirement see if the Essex does not meet it. Where luxury and finish are demanded compare the Essex with any car.
 It is needless to speak of the Hudson. All know what it has done. It's records, which prove supremacy throughout the range of performance, are confirmed by the satisfaction that more than 8O,000 owners know in their Super-Sizes.
 The supply of Hudsons and of Essex has never been sufficient for the demand.
 You can only insure yourself against disappointment in getting either of these popular cars, by placing your order under the convenient plan we have set forth above.

How to Guarantee Spri11 of Hudson and Essex Or

Thus you dispose of all concern about getting your Hudson or Essex when you want it. It will be source of satisfaction to know you are insured against having to accept some less wanted car. when the season for open types crowds the market with more buyers than we can supply.
 If your preference is for light car what choice equals the Essex7
 1t represents new, unexpected value. 1t brings to the light car field such quality and fine performance as was hitherto found only among large costly cars.

MAYOR FOR BRIDGE

Moore Contends There Would

WEGLEIN ALSO APPROVES

Both bridge and tunnel across thf
Delaware river, joining Philadelphia
and Camden. are favored by Mayor
Moore.
Richard Weglein. president of City
Council. also approves of both, but ia
vors a tunnel, contending that it is the
most mcdern method of transportation.
The Mayor agrees with Mr.. Weglein
that the tunnel would be more eco
nomical than the bridge, but contends
that both these means of transporta-
tiou would have an abundance of traffic.
When questioned concerning the sub
ject today Mayor Moore said:
THE bridge situation is moving along
as eXpeditiously as possible. There are
no unnecessary hindrances of which l

by Mr.. Weglein is not new. Many years
