BUSINESS OUTLOOK is GooD
Million and Half More Cars Bought
in United States Last Year Adds
Greatly to Chances for Retail
Tire Dealers.

The retail tire dealer is one men,
Der OF the automobile family who has
little cause, for worry as he surveys
the prospects for business during the
coming season.
The reason why he can view the
situation with satisfaction is be-
cause he knows that the wave of
car manufacturers and dealers last
year will reach him this year and
give him greater business volume
than he has ever known before.
Vine Million Cars Heightened.
Last year 100000 new motor cars
were sold BY American mannfactur-
crs. Some of these cars went to
foreign countries and some replaced
worn out cars in this country. Con-
scqucntly the net increase In cars
operating this year over the number
used last year Will not be full
100000. but the number OF motor
vehicles already registered this year
in the various states OF the Union is
about 100000. as against seven and
one-half million at the beginning of

more cars will require tires in this
country this year than used them last

But In the second year of n cars

tunity for whom the tires with which
the new car was equipped wear out,
the car owner goes TO tho local tire
dealer for new supply. The au-
tomobilist who bought new cars
last year are all prospective Gus
toners for the local tire man
during the coming season. This
increase in the number OF customers

business OF the coming year amount
