SPARE Tire IS
BIG NECESSITY
Years Ago II Was Four but To-
day an Extra One Is of
Much Importance.
SLIPPED ON WITHOUT DELAY
Investment Is Due to the Growing
Observance Of Old Adaoe That an
Ounce Of Prevention is Worth
a Pound Of Cure.

How many tires are required on an
automobile?
A few years ago this question would
have invoked the sarcastic retort:
-Four. of course, you boob" but not
so nowadays.
Today motorists are thinking in
terms of five tires as complete equip
ment for a car. The day of ''four-tire"
equipment has passed for good. Mo
torists have learned that the purchase
Of "sparcs" is a sound investment
which is sure to pay big dividends,
Spare Tire Necessary.
Notice the cars that pass on the
roads these days. Virtually every n
has at least one spare strapped in the
holder at the rear, ready to be slipped
on a wheel without IA moments delay
in case one of the working tires col
lapses.
This almost universal acceptance of
the spare tire as Il part of a cars nee
essary equipment is not due 10 belief
that tires are not as good as they used
10 be. Motorists know that the tires
they buy AT present are superior in
every way to the tires they used to
buy. They are built from more care
fully selected material by improved
methods which give them many extra
miles OF life.
Purchase of spares Is due to the
growing observance of the Old adage
that an ounce Of prevention Is worth
a pound of cure. Motorists have learn
ed that accidents may happen to the
best Of tires, and they wan to be Oh
the safe side.
IL they have a spare tire handy they
are spared lots of firing work In re-
pairing the old casing and tube, spared
lots Of cause for cussing. and spared
lots of annoying delays. The old tire
can be taken Off and the spare put on
in half the time it used to take to
begin the repairing process.
Save Motorists Money.
In the long run the motoriSt is saved
money by buying spares, even If the
original investment is considerable.
With a good spare handy which he
can put on without much trouble, the
ear 0wncr is not likely TO delay having
tire injuries repaired, or To ruin a tire
by running 1t back TO town fiat" He
puts on the spare, has the old tire re-
paired, and no serious damage is done.
Provision for carrying spare tires is
now being made by the designers of
practically all cars. The spare tire
holder is being considered as necessary
n part OF the car as the headlights,
Tenders, upholstered seats or top. The
spare tires are being recognized as an
institution which cannot be dispensed
with.
