Open New Schools
For Tire Surgeons

4 x new professionalism of tire
surgeons now attracting atten-
tion throughout the motoring world.
With thfs professional man, condi-
tions are similar in certain respects
to those confronting the dentist,
lawyer or minister. Each must be
able to prove completion of a pre-
scribed course OF study under COM
petent authority.
Motorists in ever increasing num-
hers are demanding that the men
to whom they intrust their tires for
repair be competent tire surgeons
According to recognized author
tiles in the tire industry, gradua-
ton from an accredited tire repair
school will soon be an essential pre-
| liminary to the young man entering
this interesting and profitable EN-
ployment. In the Miller Rubber
Company's school in Akron, Ohio
students are given a lecture course
class room work and practical
work. In this way the student
after he leaves the school, is no'
left to groDe in the dark when
tire other than that in which he has
specialized is brought to him for
repair.
Motorists will be interested in the
/ fact that the graduate tire surgeon
of today is being taught conserva.
ton methods for preventing tire
damage in advance of trouble. He
! is made to realize that telling a
customer how to use his tires does
not cost him a future job. but does
! win him a satisfied customer.

Some time ago the Elgin Six Car

great deal OF comment by Offering
to donate $1,000 to any worthy
charity, IL any other car on the
market could be found at around
the same price which could equa'
the Elgin Six in value. The chal-
