Cheyenne Wells record., 1922-04-20

While most commodities used by
man have advanced In cost during the
past decade, automobile tires are
notable exception.
Figures Just complied bring out the
significant fact that tire prices have q
steady downward trend since the year
1910, with only comparatively small
increase during the war and after-war
days.
Tires Of standard make can now be
bought at lower prices than before the
war, and indeed lower than at any
time since 1910.
And this has been done without
sacrifice Of quality. for every tire user
knows that he Is getting twice the
average mileage from his tires that
he was getting few years ago.
This unusual result has been ac-
complished through the tremendously
increased demand and use. which per
mitted quantity production. and In
larger part by means Of the successive
improvements In manufacturing proc
esses, which brought quality up and
costs down.

general range of commodities In the
United States ran about uniform up

the two chief materials used in the
production Of tires. had a general

Corresponding to this, the price of
