LEE COMP ANY NOW'
 HAS 'BL|MP TIRE l
New Low Pressure Casing Sold Here By Drennen
 Hardware Company

Riding on air--heretofore simply an expression to deschribe the smoothest kind of motion imagin- able, has now become possible of realization through the so-called lair cushion" or balloon tires"-low pressure pneumatics on . 2o-ihch rim base.
 Cushioned on several times the air content of the ordinary tire, at pres sures of only 20 to 80 pounds, the ease of riding Is almost unbeliev- able. Rough streets seem like boule- wards, holes and ruts disappear-no need to slow down nor fear of accf- dent when forced to turn aside on country road or off the concrete highway to pass another oar.
 But comfort is not the only ad- vantage thus obtainable. There is & tremendous saving of wear on the mechanism of the car due to lessened vibration; squeaks and rattles dis appear; the force of any violent blow. such as dropping into chuck hole, is largely absorbed by the soft, yielding tire.
 The wheels follow the road with no effort at the steering wheel-no fear of losing control when crossing tracks at an angle or when forced into the rough at high speed; trac- tion and braking power is increased, slxidding practically eliminated-and with no loss of power Git might be thought that power would be ab sorbed by the flexing of the tire walls, but they are so thin that this item is negligible, and is more than offset by the saving of the energy formerly expended in raising the wheels over all the small irregulari- ties in the road); tire mileage is in-

BALLOON CAS|NGS CREATE SENSAT |0N
New FireStone Tires Arouse Interest Of Motor
 Car Owners

The new Firestone balloon tire on exhibit at Mccormack Brothers has created quite a sensation this week. Hundreds of progressive motorists have been watching the development of the balloon tire with much inter est. They have availed themselves of the opportunity offered by McCor- mack Brothers for inspecting the new type tire at close range, and Roy Kay, the man behind "101" serv- ice, says that he has been busy for a week explaining the advantages of Firestone balloon tires.
 The first cost of balloon tires is surprisingly low. The general i'm pression with the public is that the balloon tire costs about double tho price of an ordinary tire. This im- pression has been brought about by the difference in sizes of the two types of tires and also by the fact that balloon tires yield far greater mileage than the ordinary tire. How ever, the actual increase in cost of balloon tires is only about 15 per cent over that of standard type tires.
 In other words, for an additional cost of Is per cent, the motor car owner gets a tire which will deliver greater mileage and also the utmost in riding comfort. Not only that, but the balloon tire will reduce the wear and tear on his car to an absolute minimum. The balloon tire is the cheapest in the long. run by very large percentage.
 Mccormack Brothers Motor com pany were the first tire dealers to realize that the balloon tire is prac- tical and destined to become very popular. They have an exhibit of balloon tires for the benefit of those who have not seen the newest type of Firestone tires, and are in a posi- tion to quote installed prices on bal loon tires of any size.

creased-in short the results to be obtained sound so extravagant in the telling that they must be experi- enced to be fully realized.
 Lee Tire and Rubber company with the cooperation of the wheel manu- lecturers, now offer these low pres sure pneumatics for 20-inch rims in various cross sections from four to seven-inch according to the load to be carried. The wheel company has kept pace with this development from the start, and is now in po- sition to supply wheels for large variety of cars.

OAKLAND SALES
 SHOW INCREASE

PONTIAC, Mich, Dec. 15.-The Oak land Motor Car company reports the sale of cars during November was the largest in it's history for that month The sales were three times those of November, 1922, and exceeded even the previous high November record of 1919 during a year which was considered a banner one in the motor car industry.
 : The company likewise reports that an analysis of the country wide safes of all makes of cars shows the Oak land advanced in sales from nine teenth place in October, 1922, to seventh place in October, 1923.
 The phenomenal jump in sales for Oakland is particularly significant at this time of the year when sales or- dinarily taper off somewhat.
 c. J. Nephler, general sales man. ager of Oakland, attributes the large fall and early winter sales record to the many distinctive features of the new line of cars, and the rapid growth of Oakland's dealer organization.

FORD FACTORY II. OPEN IN DE ENMARK
One Of Finest In Europe Will Be Complete
 In Spring

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 15.-By next spring the Ford Motor company will have completed an immense new fac tory at Copenhagen, Denmark, which will be one of the finest in Europe, introducing in that part of the world new standards in designs and opera tion.
 The growth of the Copenhagen as- sembly plant since its openl in June, 1919, has been remarkable and it is now the second largest fore'g gn among the foreign companies, first place being held by the plant at Man chester, England.
 A total of thirteen countries are served by Copenhagen. These include Denmark, Iceland, Farce Islands, Sweden Norway, Finland, Free State of Danzig, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithunia, Poland, Ukraine and Germany. The derAand for Ford cars during the present year has been particularly good in the three Scandinavian coun- tries Denmark, Norway and SWedeh, and the Fordson tractor has come into extensive agricultural use. con struction work on the new plant at Copenhagen is under way The site, covering four and a half acres. is admirably situated on the south harbor of Copenhagen. The building is erected so that ocean freighters coming up the North Sea can dock on two sides of it, permitting direct de- livery of assembly material from the Manchester plant and from Detroit, via New York. Railroad service also will be direct to the property.
 The new building is 400 feet long by 300 feet wide. The outer section is two stories high with an inner court of one story with daylight roof, All stock will be moved on conveyors. The second floor will be devoted 10 an exclusive body making factory. The chassis assembly line, which will be on the same continuous pro auctions system as that employed in all American plants of the company, will be on the first floor
 A large power plant adjoins the main building The new plant and property represents an investment of more than $650,000.

Using Horn Means Using Head

The automobile horn is equally im;- portant as brakes in the prevention of accidents. If the driver sounds his horn too loudly, he may discon- cert a pedestrian or frighten him to the extent that he will change his course of direction. hesitate and otherwise endanger himself. There are occasions when it is better not to usss the horn at all. For most pur- poses a moderately long blast of the horn, sounded from a suitable dis tance, is to be preferred. A short blast from the horn displays either impatience or inexperience, to either of which pedestrians or other motor ists will foolishly pay less attention
 If the horn is sounded too loudly and too soon, the driver will be under the same suspicion. Moderation and judgment are the points to watch.

NEW MOTOR AID
"Craveroilr" Sold By The Alemite
 Cnvunonv

A new device for the fabrication of tappet valves in an automobile motor is being introduced by Alemite Lubri- oator company, Avenue G and Twen- ty-fourth. This new accessory is called a "Craveroilr,'' and consists of a small receptacle which fastens to the dash. A tube carries oily vapor to the manifold, where it has the effect of lubricating the valve stems. Sticky valve stems, especially the ex- hause wales, are a common source of trouble. and it is said that "Craver- oilr" eliminates this. With the new device. the Alemite company says that it is now possible for then 10 lubricate every moving part of a motor car, but before this invention was perfected it was impossible to sells for S13.50 installed.

USED JAR DEMAND CONT T|NUES GOO ]
Mccormack Reports Excel lent Business In Used
 Car Department

Used car sales continue at a fine rate at Mccormack Brothers, accord ing to Bill Pape, sales manager. In fact, business has never before been so good in the used car department. especially at this time of the year, when sales usually slacken up con siderably.
 Bill Pape says he has never seen used cars which were easier to sell than those he is selling from McCor- mack Brothers He attributes this to the fine shape in which the cars are put before being offered for sale, as well as the reputation of the firm for reliability.
 "Our salesmen all report that their prospects are familiar with our busi- ness methods" says Bill" Tt does not take the public long to learn where they are safe in spending their money. After a man has been 'stung' once in buying his used car he is pretty careful where he buys his next one. On the other hand, if a man buys his car from reliable dealer who has reputation for hon esty, he tells his friends that he has made a satisfactory purchase and they often follow his example. This is what makes business good with us at the usual off season of the year. Our satisfied customers adver- tise us to their friends and help us sell more cars each month"

ANTHRACITE PRICE

Concerned With Course

In Scranton, Pa, today, small

of Pennsylvania, are meeting to
work out questions at controversy
which will affect in major degree
the price of coal to the consumer In

With coal selling In Washington
during the past winter at an average
price of $15.Ss, this increase will
bring coal up to above SIT, and the
price may rise above this level If
there Is shortage of fuel, as was the
case last winter, when the 60 per cent
iatiOning system was in use. The
average retail price of anthracite coal
IN Washington in 1913 was $3.50 per
gross ton. The S15.39 price of last
winter reflects an increase of much
more than 100 per cent, and the signs
point to greater increase next
winter.
Small Buyers Hard Hit.
Even last winter there was some
poor people to obtain coal at the
