the New York market is the struck
grip chain" inverted by r. j. Brong,
OF Jersey City, while he was in the en-
ploy of the American Railway Express
Company. American Express tests
made last winter revealed that this

the chains to creep between the spokes,
showed a 80 per. cent saving in tire
wear and much lower chain upkeep.
The chain can be snapped on the re-
tainingw ring in less than minute
without the use OF tools and without
moving the vehicle
Nh. Brong says he had no intention
of perfecting the chain for use outside

However, the tests Convinced him that
there should be & general market for it.
