GOODRICH PLANS
new TRUCK TIRE
"Semi-Pneumatic" Is Name of
Latest Invention for Com
mercial Cars.

The 3. F. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany presents its latest and new
est invention, namely: the develop
ment of what may be the greatest
Improvement in truck tires that has
put in an appearance in the past
five years. the semi-pneumaGc truck
tire.
BY virtue of it's design, it Is
claimed to possess the ability of a
properly inflated cord truck tire
hence the name semi pneumatic.
The outside design of. the tire is
in every respect parallel to the in
ternal design A groove Is nodded
i'm the tread for its entire circum-
ference. The groove helps to pre-
vent skidding. In addition, there
are a number of side blocks on the
tread. designed to give traction in
soft going. The side slots between
the blocks add TO he residence of
the tire and by breaking up and re-
ducing the fractional wave materi-
ally reduce gasolene consumption.
One important feature of this
tire is that it fits .theestandard s. A.
e. wheel and that the regular solid
tire press serves to apply the tire.

and screws and special wheels, all
of which add to the initial cost and

TRUCKS POPULAR

Seventeen Wealthy States
Own Motor Trucks, Says
Company Survey.

The question of where the most
motor trucks are sold for farm use
seems to be clearly answered by
a farm market survey made by the
General Motors Truck Company.
3 1t developes that the States where
the value Of farm crops per farm
is highest are the States where
the greatest percentage of farmers
own trucks, regardless of improved
roads and other influences.
The average value of farm prod
ucts the country over was s2,90O
per farm in 1920. Nevada farms
topped the list with an income of
s10.37s per farm. while Mississippi
came last with 1,101 per farm.
Seventeen States ranked above
$4,000 per farm, Nevada. Wyoming,
Arizona, Iowa, California, New
Jersey, Nebraska, Kansas, Massa-
chusetts, South Dakota. New York,
Illinois. Rhode Island, Connecticut.
VermontA Colorado and Oregon.
And thAse are. peculiarly enough.

farms have the seventeen highest
percentages of trucks per farm. All
of which would indicate pretty
strongly that the farm truck follows
the farm dollar.

was sold to Ed Taylor. OF Cedar
Grove, N. j.. who had contract to
haul laborers from the Cedar Grove
car line to the Overbrook' aysium,
where a new steam plant was being
installed.
After that job he started what is
believed to have been the first motor
bus line in his part OF the country,
but received scant patronage. Next
Taylor tried the sightseeing busi-
ness in Newark and he says folks
would stare at the old Mack and
then cross the street for fear 1t
would explode and blow them up.
Late in 1911 Taylor parked the Old
Vet unsheltered in his back yard.
where it stayed until 1914. when
Gault & Candisky bought it. cleaned
it up, fed it little oil and grease
and put it to work. From then on
until the time America entered the
world war the truck was going as
we'll as a lot of younger ones. Some
times it was used with the original
sightseeing body and at other times
with a freight body. After this long
life of usefulness new parts were
needed and the owners thought
these would cost too much. so they
scrapped the old Mack. using the
parts to repair other trucks. and
some of these parts are now in use.

The one thing that has stood be-

been the absence of good travelable
roads. There have been stretches
of good smooth surface. but

this is rapidly changing and while
all is not yet boulevard surface,
most of the poorest sections have
been eliminated and the tourist can
easily do his $50 miles in a day IL

This steady progress is the sig

an increase of 1.31 per cent. In
July the increase was 1.sS per cent
and In June the curve had shown a

During August the automotiye

two other fundamental respects
the total past due accounts de-
