Sale Of Miller
Tires Increases
so Percent In 1919

The passing of the year 1919 marked
the conclusion of the biggest year il
the history Of The Miller Rubber com
pany, from the standpoint of produc-
ton and sales, according to F. C. Mill
hoff, who is general manager of that
big Akron plant.
The annual report not having been
officially completed Mr.. Millhoff was
not in position to announce the exact
figures Of sales increase. He did say.
however. that the ere sales growth
during 1919 would amount to nearly
so per cent increase over the previous
year and that il would exceed even the
most optimistic expectations of Miller
officials as announced in January 1919.
But in spite of the healthy 1919
showing. Miller appears to have by no
means finished its growing stage. The
company, 1t is pointed out, has already
added much new factory space and CO.
uipment which will make possible 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 sundries. Al
so. it is emphasized that Miller will no;
depart in the slightest way from its
long time policy of expansion
The growth we anticipate and are
planning for sid Mr.. Millhoff, will
be strictly due to increased demand for
u products. For example the demand
for our tires in 1919 went away ahead
Of our production facilities. Hawever,
we have been constantly building to
answer that demand and now we are
starting the New Year with production
facilities not only great enough to ans
wer 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 def
mite course of fair treatment in all cas-
es.
That same selling point which es-
tablished such prominence for Miller
tires In previous years-uniform mile
age combined with the Geared-to-the
orad-tread-was undoubtedly a most
influential factor in the Creation of a
wied public demand.
Every day more motorists iearn
that the tires hat uniformly wear ,ne
longest are the lowest in cost per mile.
That is where the uniform mileage fea-
ture plays a prominent part. Millers do
wear uniformly.
The Geared-to-the-read tread also
stands out pust as distinctly as a Miller
characteristic. It is also well known
that explanation of its construction is
unnecessary.
The fact that the Miller tire is the
only tire in the world combining these
two features gives the public someth-
ing really tangible on which to create
a preference for Millers.'

ment marked departure from policy
which had been followed for nearly
century. Federal cooperation with
the states on approximately a "505O'
basis has counted more than any other
factor, says Mr.. Macdonald, in init
ating highway construction that is be
ing carried on under adequate super
vision, and In accord with program
co-ordinating local state and national
needs.
Second only I'm Importance to the
size Of the present road-building pro
gram Is the excellence Of the char
acter of the roads being built. Sixty
per cent Of the total allotment Of fed
eral funds which has been approved
to date will be spent for roads of
such durable types as bituminous con-
crete. Portland cement concrete. and
vitrified brick. These roads, when
built, will Increase by 1900 miles the
total OF 14.400 miles Of roads Of this
class which existed in the United
States before the federal-aid road law
was passed But these figures by no
means represent the total mileage af-
fected.

to the amount of S266, 10000 have
been apportioned among 4S states
without suggestion of favoritism-
so adequate are the provisions for
just apportioninent.
One of the early and most far-reach-
ing results directly attributable to the
adoption of the federal-ad program
was The creation of adequate state
highway departments In II states which
previously had either no state depart
ment, or departments insufliciently
equipped. Within one year after the
passage of the federal-aid road act
more constructive state highway legis-
lation was placed upon the statute
books than had ever been enacted in
a similar period In the history Of the
country.
The insistence of the government
upon the construction of federal-aid
roads under the supervision of engi-
neers of the state departments has re-
suited in placing much larger pro-
portion of road work under skilled
direction. In 1916, the year before
the federal-aid act was passed, only
30 per cent of the money for roads
and bridges built In the United States
was expended under the supervision
Of state highway departments. This
year these departments will exercise
control over fully so per cent of the
