PNEUMATIC OR
SOLID TIRES FOR
KINDS OF TRUCKS

For the benefit Of everyone con
cerned. too much light cannot be
thrown on the subject of the prop
er use Of solid and pneumatic tires
on motor trucks, according to Ro-
land Sauer, local distributor of
Packard Motor Trucks.
The advantage" says Mr.. Sauer,
gained by the substitution OF
pneumatic for solid tires under
certain CIRCUMSTANCES, has often
resulted in changes being made,
which, although showing immedi-
ate benefits in the service obtained
from the truck, ultimately mean a
lost .a
Sooner or later the folly Of in
discriminatory changing from solid
to pneumatic tires will be demon
trated by its own harmful effects.
Experience will show that it is eX-
pedient to make the change only
when the design Of the truck viii
warrant such procedure.
"Realizing that the use of pneu-
matte tires on motor trucks raised
several fundamental engineering
problems, the Packard Motor Car
company set its engineers to work
to determine just what problems
were encountered by the use Of
pneumatic tires and what changes
would be necessary i'm the truck $
design in order to meet these OBJ
stacles
The result was a truck specially

JORDAN CAR SOLVES
BIG PROBLEM, SAYS
LOCAL DEALER

price competition has forced on
the market an assortment Of cheap
cars that in a large way has af-
fected the automobile industry,
said w. c. Hoover. president Of the
Hoover Motor company.
AN automobile is only as good
as the material and workmanship
that goes into it's construction.
Somewhere there is a happy me-
dunn. The car that represents
thousands of dollars is not the car
for the masses or the many, while
the cheap car for many users is
out of the question. The Jordan
people have made a supreme effort
to build a car that would offer Il
real solution to the question of
quality and price.
The Jordan can bel classed as
the moderate priced car, and when
it comes to quality the Jordan, by
its excellent record of perform
ance, has given its answer to the
world. The appearance Of the Jor-
dan makes a direct appeal to ones
conception of a beautiful car. In
finish and workmanship it is unsur-
passed. The engine is easy run
ming, smooth and powerful. It's
response is instantaneous A won-

PER CENT OF MlSHAPS
AT GOODYEAR FACTORY
is SURPRISINGLY LOW

During six months Of opera
ton serious accidents at the Los
Angeles plant of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company Of
California show the surprising
ly low percentage Of .O035.
Every department. has its
safety rules for it's own work
and is required to become ia
miliar with them. Much has
been done to eliminate individ-
ual hazards. Trucks and core
stands are inspected regularly
Mats are laid wherever helpful
and goggles furnished men on
chipping and grinding opera
tfnns. All old-style ladders are
tabooed and ladders equipped
with safety shoes Installed. All
machinery is fitted with safety
screens.
These are but 4 few of the
many things Goodyear has in
augurated. For 1921 an even
closer safety inspection will be
inaugurated, while the success
of the campaign for the year
just ended insures that employ
es have caught the spirit and
win cooperate more thorough
~ than ever before.

DON'T PATR0NIZE
THIS TIRE GRINDER

pink! pink, pink hear those
little raindrops beginning to make
their music on the windshield? It's
old man West Weather ringing his
bells on one side of his periodical
rounds of tire grinding.
Strange old gent he is, because
il you don't take the time to halt
and put on your skid chains he
proceeds to follow along and do
business with you, anyway. Figur-
ing out the dollars he grinds from
bare tires in the course of a year
would tax the strength of an add
ing machine for he seems to have
a regular bunch of customers who
seem willing to take a chance with
his grinding at every opportunity.
Nothing delights him more than to
see rear wheels spinning around at
dizzy rate in their efforts to get
q tire hold on the slippery paving
that his helpers have prepared for
his benefit.
Don't let the music of his bells
lull you in a careless mood. Get
out and put on your tire chains at
the very first 'plink," even though
he may attempt to shower you
enough to dampen your ardor
while doing So Absolutely refuse
to take the chance of doing BUSH
ness with the crafty fellow. for
remember, he never refunds any of
the money that he grinds from
your tires!

FORD INTENDS TO
SUPPLY DETROIT
WITH PLENTY FUEL

During its first month under
Ford control. September, the De-
troit, Toledo q Ironton railroad in
creased its gross earnings more
than 20 per centggyer any previous
month. OCTOBER 1919, the next
best month. showed gross earnings
of $430,830. whereas September,
1920, brought forth 1854, 492, an
increase Of over $4,000. The fact
that the road was taken over by
Henry Ford on September | makes
this particularly noteworthy.
Mr.. Ford plans first to put the
Detroit, Toledo e. Ironton in order
to assure Detroit of a coal supply
all the year round. But he has a
much broader view of the future
activities of the road than merely
supplying fuel and mate'iais 10 his
own factories. He expects to use
1t for the development of the coun-
try which the road traverses.
In order to complete his plans by
which solid coal trains may be run
continuously, he made a personal
inspection of all the grades and
bridges over the Asa miles of main
track. In his automobile. he tray
ersed n considerable length of the
line, visiting the towns along its
route. He made a special point of
visiting the roundhouses and shops
and conversing with the mechanics.
He went out with repair gangs and
examined every unit of the roads
motive power. He made decisions
about rails, new shops and loading
points even before the deal was
concluded.
Completely convinced that the
Detroit. Toledo & IrOntOn is able
to supply Detroit and Michigan
with fuel, Henry Ford made all his
plans with this in mind,

BIG ACCESSORY
HASSLER FACTORY
LEADS IN OPTIMISM

Following closely upon the an
nouncement from the management
that the Hassler factory has been
in full operation continuous y
through the recent industrial up
heaval is another message from
the office of Robert II. Hassler,
president, to the effect that a large
addition to the production facii-
ties will be added during the early
part of 1921.
Our idea of combating ten
dency towards pessimism in the
market for our goods is to work
all the harder. We have MAIN
tanned our business UP TO norma!
because we have doubled our eff
forts. Our product is well and fa-
vorably known, and is in such uni
versal use that otr selling prob-
lem is q simplified one.
Not only do we believe the year
of 1921 will be the best in the his
tory of the Hassler Shock Absorb
or, but we think it will be a good
year for all concerns managed
properly. Orders are coming in
nicely now, and the volume Of
sales is increasing rapidly from
month to month.

from license fees with substantial
bond issues, thereby making even
greater, progress possible.
Ilccnse Laws Vary.
Comparison Of the total license
fees of the various states with the
number of machines which they
have registered shows lack of
uniformity in the license laws
Iowa for instance, which ranked
second in the amount of license
fees ranks sixth in the number Of
cars owned. II has only two-thirds
the number of cars Of Ohio or
Pennsylvania and 100000 less than
California. Florida received only
half as much as Alabama although
it has 1000 more machines, the
totals being $544,G95 and $1.041,-
225 respectively. Connecticut with
Ilg,037 cars received $1i327,431,
while Colorado with 1884 re-
ceived only $818,774.

GARAGE L0AFERS
LIKE STABLE BUNS

n Loafers used to hang out in liv-
cry stables in the days when the
horse was king; now the tribe of
sun dodgers is inclined to transfer
its love and affection to the garage,
observes a writer In the current
issue of American Motorist, Espe-
cially is this true of the small town
or suburban establishment. The
man who knows the first elements
of successful business management
will promptly forbid this from the
very start. He need not waste any
politeness in impre ssing upon the
edo-nothings that it Is their alb
sence only which is desired. All
of this was laeonically recognized
and guarded against by a sign l
saw in an up-to-date garage onythe

MOTORISTS TIRE
TROUBLE DUE TO
UNDER INITIATION

Seventy-five per cent Of the mo-
florists tire trouble, it is estimated,
is due either directly or indirectly
to under initiation When 1t comes
to under initiation, don't guess-use
gauge. 1t is only a matter of n
moments work, but it means dol
lars saved in tires.
When not properly inflated, tires
readily rim cut. Particularly is
this true over rough places where
the rinA chafe1 and bruises the
fabric. Under initiation also means
an unequal tension in the fabric
plies making up the carcass which
results in chatting, fabric separa-
ton and ultimately in blowout.
While it is quite true that an
under inflated tire is more elastic
and more resilient, the motorist
pays. dearly for this. Loaded, the
under inflated tire by reason of in
creased Ringing action near the
rim and at q sharp angle, is often
more or less de-vulcanized or soft
ened by the resultant heat.
1t pays big dividends in freedom
from tire trouble, to rigidly OBJ
serve the initiation pressure recon-
mended by the manufacturers. 1t
is 80 simple a matter, requiring on
~ moment, but the motOrist has
no one but himself to blame when
he neglects to test his tire pressure
with a gauge.
If the motorist wishes to obtain
the maximum mileage built into
a tire, he should pay heed to this
timely warning against under in
fiation. according to f, i. Bliss,
the tire man. Initiation is the first
cardinal principle Of tire conser-
walton. If you do not have a tire
gauge, purchase one today. Even
after trouble has begun, prompt
action in taking an injured easing
to tire surgeon for repair or the
use of tire gauge will greatly pro-
long the life of the casing.

Approximately 80 per cent of

goes into the construction OF good
roads, highway authorities say. In
ether words, about 1900 miles of
high grade, hard-surfaced high
ways could be built with the
amount paid by the country's
motorists. a..#.
The 1929 total exceeds that Of
1919 by more than 33 1-3 per cent
the total in 1919 having been only
$65,522,259. This large difference
is accounted for by the larger num-
Der Of machines now In use and
also by the fact that many states
have laid a heavier burden on the
car owner by increasing the yearly
fees. r.
Per Capita Is $1,000.
Striking an average for the en-
tire country, each motorist paid in
license fees about 5000, the total
number of machines as shown by
the 1920 registrations having been
9,295,252. In 1919, when 7,604,016
cars were registered, the average
was less than SO. eu
