DEALERS PRAISE
TIRE WARRANTY
New Plan Assures Fine
Workmanship in Tire
Materials.

An analysis of the tire situation
throughout the United States shows
that tire dealers and car owners who
were at first reluctant to lay aside
the old tire mileage guarantee are
now enthusiastic over the manufac-
turers' standard warranty. The war
ranty guarantees the tires take free
from defects in workmanship and ma
terial. Tire dealers have found that
the best satisfied customer is the one
who gets the best tire service. not the
one who gets the biggest promises
and the most unjustified requirements.
For time IL seemed as though
outlandish mileage guarantees had
so befuddled the minds of tire users
that they could not believe that a
tire was good unless they had a won
derful promise along with 1t as to
what was going to be done when the
tire went bad.
The standard warranty does not
promise a lot Of impossible things
but assures the purchaser OF a
standard tire of dollar for dollar
value. 1t has also eliminated policy
L
and misused are not being taken
back. 1t is safe to estimate that
requirements have been reduced IS
per cent.
The standard warranty, according
to Miller tire service men, Is backed
by the best tires made. Today more
than 80 per cent of the tires manu-
factured in this country are made
under tho warranty The uyorrap apty
has come to be a symbol of high
quality, honest manufacture and clean
cut business.
The simple fact that the user can
control the factors destroying his tire
II he is made aware of them and
understands how to combat them, Of
fers the remedy to show him what
these abuses are, their evil effects
and how to control them. Naturally
with this done such a user will get

go AutOnooftc EoffOr.
Motorists of today demand that
automobiles contain all the refine
nsnts that make for comfort
dc luxe. Motor car manufacturers
Throughout the country have tried
to achieve the maximum In auto
camfort- Perhaps the most sue
oessful Of these makers are the
msn who have produced the Bir-
nngham six no-axle motor car.
The makers Of the Birmingham
have made this their one outstand-
Ing goal; namely. that their motor
car will offer a comfort supreme to
he modern-day purchaser. In or
qsr,to make this possible the Birm-
iDsham experts have invented a
spring arrangement which bids fair
To- revolutionize the auto industry.
F,Zvould seem almost impossible to
hsne no axle on the motor car. But
the Birmingham Company has
blasted this doubt; 1t has replaced
Ne axle with strong, sturdy
springs which lend the necessary
comfort long sought for by the en-
Gre auto industry.
After the invention of the no-axle
oar the company decided to thor
oughly test its invention. Entire
nnotordom knows what followed.
The Birmingham was driven over a
long stretch OF logs at forty-nve
miles an hour. The car was ac-
clatmed a success; 1t rode the logs
with ease and comfort and its
spting arrangement set a new era
FOE American ingenuity.
,Fhis particular feat of the Birm-
tn2ham led a group of local motor
ISIS last week to determine the
exact worth of the no-axle system.
Fwas decided to motor to Morgan
town. Md, which is approximately
hty-odd miles from the city.
The toEr was held under the
auspices Of the Birmingham Motor
Company in conjunction with The
Washington Herald. A Birmingham
six no-axle car was used on the
trip. Leaving the city last Wednes-
day morning. the party drove over
to Good Hope road by way of
Eleventh street via Anacostia.
1t was on the way to Good Hope
road when the car was driven over
street southeast, that the first i'm
preston of the no-axle arrange
ment was gained. When the car
rode these cobble stones the party
was reminded of the manner in
which a boat rides the waves. The
Birmingham rode the cobble stones
with an ease that was astonishing.
The only way to describe the action
OF, the car was that 1t rolled" The
party was delighted at this action
Of the car.
When Good Hope road was
reached the car really got under
way. The springs of the car made
the party feel that they were fair
~ creeping along at a speed of ten
miles an hour. But a look at the
speedometer shattered this feeling.

While 1t is interesting to read
such ngures as the entire worlds

to. 1913. which totals $4,000. .ooo, goo
gallons. and while IT is Significant
to learn that the United States has
produced 81 per cent of this entire

more interesting and more human
TO bring the figure down to the pro-
duction Of one of the great Ameri-
can oil companies.
A typical example of this kind
would be the Texas Company and
surely II is an interesting fact to
learn that this company has grown
from 100000 gallons of gasoline per
day to 100000 gallons. 1t is also
interesting to note that in ten years
the consumption Of lubricating oils
produced by the Texas Company
has Increased from 100000 gallons
