TIRE MEN FEEL
AFTERGLOW OF
BIG CAR SALES

The retail tire dealer Is ono member
OF the automobile family who has little
cause for worry as he surveys tho
prospects for business during the COM
ing season.
The reason why he can view the sit
uation with satisfaction is because he
knows that tho wave of prosperity
that brought JOY to tho car manufac-
turers and dealers last year Will reach
him this year and give him greater
business volume than ho has ever
known before.
Last year 2.0o0o,oc0 new motor cars
were sold by American manufactur-
ers. Some of these cars went to fore
ign countries and some replaced worn
out cars in this country. Consequently
the net increase in cars operating this
year over the number used last year
will not be full 100000 but the num-
bcr OF motor vehicles already register Z.
cd this year in the various states OF
the Union Is about 100000 as against
1900, Geo at the beginning OF last year.
This means that full million and
"a half more cars will require tires in

Refining the Foot brakes (Contfnued)
If the brake band is out Of shape.
this is good opportunity to bend it
into correct form, and in fitting the
fabric the band should be kept as
nearly as possible in its service shape,
while the rivet holes are drilled, so
that the lining shall conform perfect
ly. Tho correctly cut piece of lining
should be placed in exact position on
the inside of the band and the band
jaws of a vice. while the holes are
drilled thru for the rivets, extreme
care being taken to keep the fabric
from shifting and to maintain the
form of the band, slipping rivet thru
band and lining as each hole is drilled
to keep the position of thes lining. 1t
is generally recommended that the
holes in the lining should be consider
ably countersunk or countcrborcd, so
that the rivet heads shall draw down
we'll below the lining surface, and thus
not rub on the drum until the fabric
rivets arc put thru from the lining
side and their ends are headed over
against the band metal. A stout piece
of round metal stock, OF about the di-
ameter of tho countervunk places in
the lining, secured in the wise, makes
a good support to rest the rivet treads
against while the upsctting process is
performed with a round-headed ham,
mer. Tho form OF the completed band
should bc nearly what it is when in
service. In replacing 1t on the car it
should be remembered that all ad-
justments will have to be changed. In
order to secure the required clearance
between tho lining and tho drum, be-
cause the new fabric is much thicker
than tho old.
