The Continental Motors Corp, has

Of the recent order from Durant

The association Of tire manufac-
turers In it's recent report covering
business In this industry up to the
end Of August, shows the distinctly
upward trend that has taken place.
While production In January was 703,-
900 pneumatic castings, the August
total was 3,o43, 900. January, of course,
is normally a light month, but this
Is discounted by the fact that there
has been an increase in production
every month since. August surpass-
ing the peak months Of June and
July by nearly 100000 castings. The
outlook for business in this field II
excellent and most Of the big compan-
les are in a position to take full ad-
vantage Of the upward swing.
During September, 1891, there were
stolen in New York City 2sV motor
cars. having = total insurance value
of $46s, 1856. This almost doubles the
figure for September. 1920. and the
police authorities estimate that q total
OF nearly $1,000. 900 II the value figure
for cars stolen during the year ending
with September last. A serious prob
lem is developing In connection with
the theft Of cars and drastic measures
will have to be taken to check the
evil.
