taken as an Occupational name. a

Fleming-This was a name orig
inally given to some one from Fland-

When initiating a tire that has

Whether you are. touring across
continent. over good Eastern roads,
or driving to and from your busi-
ness on the paved city streets, re-
member that tire cost is a consid-
cradle item In car operation and
maintenance. Tires are just as vital
to motor car as feet are to a
doughboy. Tire cost may be kept
at a minimum, or needlessly inflated
according to the thought and study
given to the following fundamentals
Of tire conservation.
Most important in the care of tires
Is initiation. Under-inflation causes
heat, excessive wear. rupture to
fabrics and cords and when one tire
is lower than another 1t throws the
whole car out of balance, makes
steering difficult and Is liable to
cause accidents in emergencies: See
that tires are properly inflated at
all times. On long tours u - well
to test the pressures with gauge
once or twice a week.
-Over.inflation works equally as
harmful, extremely hard tires make
your car hard riding, exaggerates
spring shackle and sheet metal rat
ties, also makes car unsteady on
rough roads, very skiddish on wet
streets, and braking efficiency falls
off. Therefore, you can readily see
what proper Initiation means to the
car in general aside from the dam
age that results to tires.
Opinions may vary as to what
pressures are correct for given tire
sizes. However, the general ac-
cepted rule is fifteen pounds per
square inch Of cross section for cord
tires and seventeen pounds per
square inch Of cross section for fab
ric tires, which means that a four
inch cord should not be inflated
over sixty pounds, and a fabric tire
of the same size approximately sew
enty pounds. This rule is a good
one when full passenger quota is
carried. However, when riding light
with driver only this may be reduced
to fifty-five pounds in the case Of
cord tires with good results.
On recent trip to the Pacific
coast and return in a small car aver
aging 351 miles per day for seven
teen and one-half days, and equip
ped with 31x4 cord tires carrying
full load, the writer used fifty
pounds OF air in all tires for 1900
miles Of touring. Upon inspecting
the inside of castings after the trip,
there was not a single break or rup-
true apparent anywhere. In view
of the fact that eleven punctures
were encountered on the trip this
speaks very well for the tire per-
formance.
Watch your tires closely at all
times for proper initiation. A glance
at the tires with full load after
proper initiation will tell you II any
leaks have developed. II the casing
is not well rounded with fun load,
ipflata the tire and test valve for
leak and inspect the casing for nails
or cuts. %,fa 5r.s ...

Introduction.

While r. H. Collins, more than
anyone else responsible for the de-

Peerless motor car, processes no
surprise over the remarkable recep.
ton accorded his latest offering, his
associates at the big plant in Clevc-
land frankly admit the favorable
public response has far exc eeded
their most optimistic expectations.
Within twenty.four hours after
the first general announcement Of
the new line appeared, 1t was stated
at the factory that the scheduled
output for the new car production
had been completely absorbed by the
distributors and dealers:
All last week the factory was be-
sieged by distributors who wanted
more cars than their allotments
called for.

perience," said D. A. Burke, general
sales manager and himself veteran
in the automobile business, that

But, according to those who have
charge of the Peerless retail sales
there, the old car owners were the
most emphatic in thef expressions
Of approval concerning the new car.
1t was on Wednesday Of last week
that the new line was first put on

night, without public announcement

crowds began to collect In the show.

Power; Speed and Ductility Unparalleled
In the annals of american Motoring

We are assured of the sale of all these
new Peerless cars NE can produce during
the entire current year..
This message to you, therefore, is simply
an invitation-an invitation to come in
and pass Judgment on what we believe
you will pronounce remarkable piece of
work notably well done.
1t is our hope-and our expectation also
- that the verdict of those competent to
judge, will be such that all over America
tomorrow the name Peerless will take on
a new meaning and deeper significance.
You have been promised great things in
the name OF Peerless, and after many
months, to the very best of our ability,
that promise is about to be fulfilled.
We shall be disappointed if you do not
say that Peerless has evolved out of the
eight-cylinder principle, capacities for
enjoyment and ease which eight-cylinder
cars have never yet yielded. .
But extracting from this principle its utter
most in power, sustained speed, and
ductility, we believe we have introduced
into the fabrication of motor cars, elements
OF ease-or at any rate degrees Of ease
they have not possessed before.
This process Of evolution will, we are
convinced, give you a new conception of
power and speed by which all cars of the
highest grade will be judged from this
time forward. -

We frankly confess to that human
weakness.
This Car was built for your approval-to

the discriminating motorists Of America.
