flexibility to greater extent than the all-metal disc wheels.
 The soundness of the wire wheel never has been questioned since the in troduction of improved types. One of the things believe that almost killed this type was the trouble with spokes loosening or breaking. In the wire wheels as now made, no such troubles are experienced, and were it not for the added price I believe more makers would use this form.
 }, One of the developments that has made wire and disc wheels more pop ular is the balloon tire. The balloons are mounted on 20 and 21-inch base rims, which call for a small wheel which, if made in wood form, will leave very short spokes and little room for a valve stem. The disc and wire in the small sizes look better than the wood and have the advantage of permitting a valve stem to be accessible.
 In some of the disc wheel installa- tions the owner experiences trouble from wheel looseness. He ought to tighten the wheel disc to the hub every month, for if there is looseness you may hear a click every time the car is start

2,O9O,959 FORDS WERE MADE LAST YEAR Production Of All Products
 Reach High Figure, Last Year

DETROIT, Jan. 26.-aFinal produc- ton figures for 1923 just made public by the Ford Motor company, show a total of 2,2O0,6s2 Ford products for the year. \ Of this number. 2,O90,959 represents Ford cars and trucks alone. The out put of Fordson tractors totaled 101,- S98, while 1895 Lincoln cars were manufactured, establishing new year ly record. EE 5
 Every branch of the Ford output showed a decided increase over 1922. In the case of Ford cars and trucks this amounted to 739,626,, or an in crease of more than 50 per cent. Re flecting greater demand in both agri- cultural and industrial fields, Fordson tractor production rose from 68,985 in 1922 to 101, ,898 for the year just ended. 9tf.
 Demand for Lincoln cars has like wise continued to grow, 1923 bringing an increase of 2,553 over 1922, when 5,378 were produced. Ti t'H#
 In spite of the substantial increase in output during the past year Ford officials. say it was impossible. to meet dealers requirements during Y the spring and summer months, when Or ders for 85O,000 Ford cars and trucks could not be filled.
 Reports now being received from Ford branches and dealers indicate that the demand for 1924 will be even greater than in was during 1923,

Wheel development has been as in. teresting as it has been rapid during the recent past. Only a short time ago every car manufactured with few ex- captions used wooden wheels. Then came an era of wire wheels because of the better appearance these gave and because of their added strength. The disc wheel came in and made rapid strides in very short period. Today all three types are supplied as regular and optional equipment. Each year, however, the number of wood wheel cars keeps decreasing, and we may look forward to the day when metal wheels will be Aused on every make of car The new 1924 cars even in the lower-priced classes are being equipped with disc wheels, the wire wheel beinG used as standard on such cars as Rolls Royce, Duesenberg, Stutz, etc.
 !, This year has seen, the introduction of a number of new types of wheels of the disc type. There are altogether about ten designs in production, the newer ones being of the flexible type, having either a disc made of fabric or R felloe base of some flexible material These types of wheels have lateral

[ ANSWER QUESTIONS
 ON BALLOON TIRES Monk Bardolph At Tire Serv. ice Co. Has Much Information

Specialization is still at large in the land, dividing and then dividing again. Now balloon tires have caused it to perform another division in the al- ready specialized business of question l answering. M A dozen or more men find steady em- ployment in one railroad station giving | all their time to one thing-answering | questions. No so long ago the station agent answered all questions just as a side line while he checked baggage, sold tickets, handled mail and telegrams | and kept the village urchins from an- moving the live geese in the crate on | the hand truck.
 | Now comes this latest prank of spec- lalization in question answering. And It rolls quietly into our lives, accompan- led by very little "air," on the wheels of automobiles. Information bureaus | are springing up all over the land to answer the many questions which bal
 loon tires have conjured up in the
 minds of automobile owners. Can put on ballons? Do I have to change my twheels! Will they wear out faster?
 And so on-the number of questions
 being limited only by the limits of driver imagination.
 | One of the big Akron tire makers.
 The General Tire and Rubber company,
 has gone so far as to designate Tire Service company and every one of its distributor establishments as free in- formation bureau for all who are in. terested in any way in the balloon tire idea: 6eacards and advertisements set
 forth that the General distributor
 places are balloon tire headquarters and the parent company has furnished | all available information. All ques- tons are answered intelligently and without obligation and the questioners are invited to ride in a car equipped with the big tires.
 This company is particularly well fitted to furnish it's distributors with authentic data because it has been de- veloping the ballon tire idea for the past ten years. The ballon tire of to- day is the magnification and refine ment of the Jumbo which the General | company built in 1916.

Khat About Wheels
By BARNEY OLDFIELD

Slowly the wood wheel is passing out. A few years ago we had only wood wheels or wire wheels. For 1924 we have disc and wire and, of course, wood but you notice place the wood last. The automobile industry took over the wood wheel because it had nothing else to do, the wood wheel idea coming from the carriage days. In the beginning the wood wheels were excellent, but the automobile industry began to use so much wood that the good wood soon was used up and it was up to the in dustry to make the wheels of metal. Wire wheels were used in the early days, but they were not considered strong for automobiles. We know now that the wire is about the strongest wheel made, but, of course, it costs a little more than every other tyue. The disc wheel has made a big hit and no doubt will continue to do so on great number of cars, but not the really small or the very large ones. I mean such cars as Ford on the one side and, say Rolls-Royce on the other. Ford always has used wood and because of their cheapness I suppose he will continue to do so aas long as he can get the wood. Rolls-Royce always has used wire so far as I can remember and my memory goes back as far as 1911 on this point. saw a Rolls with disc wheels and car did not look right.
 There are about ten different types of disc wheels on the market today and for the most part all of them are good Some look better than others. Now the balloon tires are coming into vogue it might be that the wood wheel makers will find it rather difficult to design q wheel so that there will be room for the valve stem. The disc and wire wheel makers have the advantage here.
 believe that the wire wheel is com- ing back stronger than ever before, mot only because it is stronger in certain respects, but because of its ability to improve the appearance of the car. I know the difficulty in connection with washing, but that is the only objection that can be brought up. There is no such thing any more as spoke break age or lOosening anymore than we have great amount oftrouble with spark plugs. believe the wire wheel makers could have been in first place today had they made their wheels as good ten
 years ago as they are making thel
 now.

WHEN MERCHANT
 IS THE CUSTOMER
Gives His Patronage To Con. cern That Knows How To
 Serve Him Best

Most men in business play two roles.
 Part of the time the merchant is a customer.
 Part of the time the customer is a merchant.
 When he is the merchant he cannot understand why customers are so un- reasonable. They fuss at his service. They kick about charges. They de- mand all sorts of things which cus- toners should not demand. Many of them do not pay their bills promptly and are insulted when asked to pay them.
 Ehen there is another side of it. Some clerks offends a customer. The merchant has a hard time making peace. Surely a customer ought to realize-thinks this merchant-that a man cannot always get just the right kind of help.
 "Why can't customers be more req sonable?" laments the merchant. Then-presto!
 MT. Merchant notices a piece of string which the wife ties on his finger when he left home this morning. There is something he must buy. He puts on his hat, steps out of his own store and-changes roles.
 MT. Merchants is now the customer.
 When he steps into the other fel- lows store he is just as exacting as if he never played the role of mer- chant himself. He demands courteous treatment. He wants to be waited upon promptly. He cusses the clerk. Prices are too high. He is quick to insult-slow to praise.
 A case, let us say, of Dr. Jekyl and Mir. Hide which happens a thousand times day in every town in the land.
 This peculiar psychology is empha- sized when a man deals with an auto mobile merchant. Let us compare, for instance, the clothing man in the automobile service station and the au- tomobile man in the clothing store.
 There are three clerks at the coun- ter. All are busy when the automo- bile man comes in. He waits. He knows that the clothing merchant can not always take care of "peak load" No matter how many clerks he might have, the time would come when all of them would be busy. The auto mobile man knows this as matter of fact-without giving it even a pass ing thought. He knows that all any merchant can do is to properly gauge his volume and provide a reasonable number of clerks to take care of it.
 But the clothing man demands i'm mediate attention in the service sta ton. If he doesn't get it, chances are 1t will be a case of rotten service" in his mind. He forgets that the auto mobile man cannot always handle the peak load" either.
 No one can change these things. They are fundamental and apply to all lines of merchandising. If the auto mobile man had a hundred men in the service station there might come the time when all would be busy-and the next customer would have to wait a few minutes.
 System which protects both house and customer means some delay. Grad ually the public is beginning to real ize that the automobile business is no different from any line in so far as it is affected by all of these funda- mental principles applying to mer- chant-customer relations.
 Of course if you go in the store and there are no clerks there at all, it is different matter. Or if the delay is

OAKLAND CLIMBS
 TO MOUNTAIN TOP
Goes To Grave Of Buffalo Bill
 At Summit Of Lookout

Travelling over a rocky foot trail traversed generations ago by Indians and the early pioneers, true blue Oakland sedan recently visited the grave of Buffalo Bill-William F. Cody-at the summit of Lookout noun tain, Colorado.
 The summit of Lookout mountain is 7,500 feet elevation and is 2,5O0 above the valley, which stretches for miles from the base of the peak. It was a favorite scouting post for Buffalo Bill during the years he ranged the plains, had at his death the peak on which he had so often stood was chosen for his grave. The spot is marked with a cairn, enclosed by an iron fence.
 The only approach to the peak is a narrow footpath, which presents diff culties for even sure-footed western horses. Rocks and gulleys line both sides of this narrow path. At times it appeared impossible for an automo- bile to advance further, but each emer- gency was met by the power of the new Oakland engine,' reports M. l.. Smith of the Sharman Auto company, Denver, who made the trip. The re- turn from the grave was even more hazardous, but was made without acci- dent through the deceleration ability of the Oakland four-wheel brakes.

constant and excessive. That is poor management.
 Whenever the customer finds poor management reflected in the service rendered him-he buys elsewhere. Thus he gets the best service by patroniz- ing thos concerns which, from study, know how to take care of the cus- toner best.
 This applies to the automobile store as well as the clothing store. Copyright, 1923, by Percy Chamber

PUTS 4 BIGGER
 LOAD ON DEALER

Every new year adds to the respon- sibilIty of the modern car dealer to his community" says P. R. Mccormack of Mccormack Brothers Motor company. There is nothing sentimental about it its a simple mathematical proposi- tion."
 "The car dealer exists not only to sell cars, but to serve the owners of those cars.
 Now in 1924 he will put lot of new cars into the local market. The owners properly depend upon him for parts, accessories, service. Naturally he must expand his organization and equipment to properly meet this increased demand for local service.
 "The cars he sold in previous years are older and consequently will need an increasing amount of attention. So again he has a bigger job in 1924 than he had in 1923.
 That is why the good car dealer must grow little every year in order to live up to his responsibility to the community"

ed or stopped. If the hubs are not on tightly you also may hear the click. There are three general types of disc wheels. One uses demountable rims, in another form the entire wheel is de- mountable at the hub, and in a third, the two features are combined so that the wheel may be taken off at the hub or the tire and rim removed in the or dinary way. In the latter design a spare rim is carried instead of a spare wheel. The discs come curved inwardly or outwardly, with one curve or arc or two arcs, and there are variations of each type.
