MOUNT STRAIGHT SIDE TIRES
Proper Method Is to Lay Rim on the
Floor, and After Inserting Valve
Stem Use Force.

The proper method Of mounting
straight side tires is to lay the rim on
the floor, inserting the valve stem of
the tire in its proper place. The bead
for ten inches in both sides of the
valve should then be forced in place.
After starting the tire in this way
1t should be forced in place further by
stamping on it, first on one side and
then on the other. Stamping in this
way will let the operator seat the tire
easily as general thing, though IT
is sometimes necessary to resort to a
tire tool. The ends of the rim may be
brought into place by means of a
screwdriver to use in prying, and care
must be used not to make mistake
and get on the wrong side of the rim
on top. This method is for use when
a rim-expanding and contracting tool is
not available, as this latter saves
much time and trouble and should be
In every tool box.

Very often 1t is only that the auto

attaching chains a matter of only

The best way is to lay the chains

BY way of conclusion it is earnestly
recommended that little time be
given to learning how to put on chains.
1t was the experience of the writer
that what at first was a laborious
and bungling process became after
couple of trials matter of seconds
only, with the result that "at the first
drop of rain" the chains go on, as
they should.
