TIRE GUARANTEES HAVE HAD REAL
 HARD ROW TO HOE

During the past years tire manu- facturers have seen their guarantees sadly misused. The custom of pick ing up scrap tires and sending them in for replacement to obtain special price concessions has grown up. Gus toners have been inclined to ask for illegitimate replacements, to take a chance on getting all they could, be- lleving that everyone else did the same and that there was nothing actually wrong in doing so.
 Policy replacements have become more and more common. Thousands of undeserved replacements have been made all over the country. The care ful motorist has been penalized in favor of the careless, as the tires themselves have had to carry this ex- pense.
 Wide-awake tire dealers through out the country have asked repeatedly that tire guarantees te removed so that they could meet competition on the merits of the products handled, and not on the basis of unwarranted replacements. It has come to pass that in certain instances replacements have become the biggest selling argu- ment to the customer. Tires, like any other merchandise. are made to an swer a certain definite purpose. The fuIfillment of this purpose is gov erned by the way in which they are used. Yet this has been seldom con- sidered in dealing with automobile castings
 The latest step taken towards the elimination of unjustified replace naents is the recommendation by the tire manufacturers division of the Rubber Association of America, Inc, of manufacturers standard war ranty to replace the usual tire guar antee. and a standard claim form for the use in requesting replacements. The action of the association, says the Miller Rubber company, Akron, Ohio. is a definite step forward to protect motorists and tire dealers against the menace of undeserved replacements.
 A ,ature of the new proposition IS the fact that the mileage basis of fig uring replacements has been abso- lrtely discontinued. Tire men have come to realize that mileage is only a basis Of argumen. and that service is the real criterion. Service. then, has replaced mileage. The motorist knows that to neglect his tire equip ment is simply money out of his pocket.
 A customer in filling in the stand ard claim form used with the war ranty gives the exact facts in the

ture some unusGsl qualities have been developed in the tube. One of the outstanding features Is that age has very little effect on the quality of the rubber and ordinary heat will not injure it.
 Another unique characteristic is that injuries due to puncture and blowout are greatly restricted and seldom extend beyond the area of in jury to the casing.
 Further, the vulcanlzation of re- pairs has no weakening effect on the adjacent tube wall. 1t has been a fact we'll known to tire repair men that the rubber at such points is like ly to be weak after a repair has been vulcanized.
 Another interesting quality of the new tube is that it acquires no per manent stretch.' It will fl. back into the casing without wrinkling even though it has been used for a consid- erab,e period.
 The new tube has been carefully tested and the test reports show that not a single fault developed in any tube throughout the entire testing period.

Half of All Cars on American Roads Are Ford Cars

The demand is unprecedented because the value is unequaled
 From any and every angle, there is only one reason why the Ford car so far outsells all other cars. It is a better car.
 The Ford car must be judged independently of its price.
 It is astonishingly low in price-and surpris- ingly high in value-because it is produced upon a scale so gigantic, so efficient and so economic, as to reduce the cost of manufacturing and dis tributing to the minimum.
Arizona republican., 1921-12-11

This is business condition absolutely without precedent or parallel anywhere.
 This would not be so could not be so, if the Ford car had not proven by all the tests that time and the greatest number and variety of uses and abuses can impose it's superior worth. It has delivered to users what they demanded in motor car.
 It has established its superior merits in the most practical manner-not by any exceptional schemes of selling nor by extravagant advertising nor any sort of commercial combinations
