PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR ALL

THE great service that pneumatic
tire equipment is bringing to truck
transportation is embodied In tho OPP
portunity offered to truck designers
and builders TO tighten the weight
OF trucks and at the same kline. be-

trucks are uniformly built unncccs-

tires. The weight VIII be greatly
reduced In trucks built from now on.
This will have the effect of reducing
the size of tires used on the trucks,
making the initial tire cost consider
ably less than at present
The era OF the redesigned and
lighter truck Is at hand because OF the
almost total absence OF vibration and
severe shocks where pneumatic tires
arc used. II is being found possible
to make many OF the parts of the
truck lighter in weight, decreasing the
initial cost OF the truck. which in it
self means creator earning power.
"Prescnt-day trucks with pneumatic
equipment have demonstrated TO
