Our Cooperative Sales Plan

THIS UNUSUAL CLEARANCE is the outcome of our
policy Of contracting so far in advance for a full years
supply of pianos. The instruments are shipped from
time to time as we require. The factories at this season
of the year complete these contracts, shipping all pianos
remaining on order.
SO GREAT IS THE TOTAL of these close-of-contrait
shipments that our only recourse is to divide these instru-
ments among our various stores, irrespective of the stock
they may have on the floors, and offer such inducements
as will insure their immediate removal.
THIS is NOT the sale of one make of Piano, but

Crawford's Quick Tire Service has instituted night service along with their general line of service and mo- torists now will be able to have their tire troubles cared for up until F o'clock every night except Sunday. Tom J Truss, manager of the pneu- matte tire department of Crawford S, states that he has a good supply of Firestone tires on hand and that he is ready and waiting for the summer mo- torists to call upon him for service after dark, Frank Stevens of Craw- fords, is an optimistic soul being of the opinion that the weather is going to open up and when it does, night tire service will be a necessity in city tke size of Birmingham.

1t shows that the more people in the city
 the better for the farmer.
 Buying trucks and tractors is not only patriotic duty but a dollar and cents proposition with every farmer. Look over the different farmers in your com munity and see how many have ever dfs- carded their trucks and tractors after having once had them If they are a pay ing investment for the big farmer they will make the smaller farmer big, for all bis farmers were once small, but their
 judgment and foresight made them big,
 and 90 per cent of the big farmers use trucks and tractors.

TREAD BUILT UP
 ID STAND A LOAD
Trucking on Pneumatics Without Flattening Cas-
 ing Now Possible

| Trucking on pneumatics without the 1 flattening out which deforms the ordf-
 mare round tread truck tire under nor
 nal conditions is now possible, according
 10 an announcement made by chemists of
 the Miller Rubber Company, Akron, O. Deformation of the ordinary tread under l load has long been a problem in tire
 manufacture Its recent solution by means of a flat tread is particularly ln- teresting.
 When a load is placed upon round tread tire it causes it to flatten out in order that the tread surface necessary 1 to bear the load will come into contact with the road. The amount of this de- formation depends both upon the weight of the load and the air pressure in the 1 tire
 i To solve the problem it was simply
 question of building up the tread so that l it would have the maximum amount of road surface when under normal condl- l tions.
 It was also found that such a tread scuffs away at only about half the rate
 of the round tread. For example, where
 1000 miles with the round tread will
 wear off one-fifth of a pound, the flat l tread will wear off only one-tenth of pound.
 A tire dealers trade paper with a ct- | cHlation of approximately 1O,000 to be published monthly, was announced last
 week by the advertising department Of the 1 Miller Rubber Company, Akron, O. l A new development of more than usual
 interest in automobile tube manufacture l is the proving of the theory that the size 1 Of tube is of more importance to its l life than it's thickness. This is almost l the reverse of hitherto accepted prin- 1 ciple of tube construction. 1 Tubes made of pure gum on a large
 mandrel, according to tests of chemists l of the Miller Rubber Company, give bet ] ter service than thicker tubes made on ] smaller mandrel. In other words, cir | conference in the life of tube is of more importance than thickness. 1 The principle is that the amount of damage to tube by cut or shock IS de- 1 termined by the amount of strain which l the rubber is under-the thickness being l of very slight importance in this re- 1 spect

 Don nrennon of the Birmingham Motor Co.,, snid the other day that he has been trying to deliver m empty truck to MT.

TRUCKS SAVE LOT
 FOR THE FARMERS
Release Horses Giving Over More Ground to Raise
 Food for People

L. Mattice truck manager, Cole Mo- tor Company. distributors of Maxwell trucks at Buffalo. has formulated a very convincing argument for truck pros poets among the farmers.
 "The average farmer is against the city people Mattice points out. "When I begin talking the high cost of living the farm, but immediately becomes my friend when l discuss the cost of COW feed'
 The following circular issued by MT. Mattice may prove valuable suggestion to other truck dealers:
 If the American farmer will continue to purchase trucks and tractors it wiN lower the cost of feed or increase the price of milk products, without increas- ing the cost of feed
 Government statistics show that it takes five acres of ground to keep a horse a year, and of that 365 days the average horse is idle 182 days, but still eating. The truck and tractor eliminate horses and get their feed from under the ground. It doesn't take any human en- ergy to make horses but it requires thou sands of men to make trucks and trac- tors. The more people In the clly tHe better the farmer is off from the fact that all the city dwellers have to come to the farmer for what they eat.
 There are 30,000.000 horses in the United States that can be eliminated by trucks and tractors; thus releasing 150,00,GOo acres of land that will raise feed for cat tie and people.
 As proof of this statement in 1880 70 per cent of the people lived on the farm tra +l,a oft 30 per cent live on the farm and 70 per cent in the city. Compare your prices on farm products in 1880 with todayS When you know 62 per cent ot all the au- tomobiles are owned in the farming com munities and only 3S per cent in the city

Just as Birmingham lead the field in the first series of cut price sales on clothing, so it is with the first sales on tires. The action of local merchants in cutting the prices of clothing was followed in other cities until the movement has swept over the entire country. It remains to be seen whether the action of the Bir- mingham tire concerns is followed up In the same manner.
