BALLOON TIRES ON FORD CARS

Probably the most important news
in automobile circles during the last
week was the announcement that bal
loon tires are to b furnished as OBJ
tional equipment on all types of
Ford cars.
This is probably the greatest rec
ognition given balloons since their in
PRODUCTION on the market, and should
prove an impetus to their popularity.
The Ford Motor Company has long
been interested in balloon tires and
has been carrying on experiments
with them for some time. It's de-
cision to supply balloons comes only
after severe tests which, coupled with
the good results obtained by in
dividual owners, have proven these
tires to be thoroughly practical for
Ford cars.
To compensate for the harder
steering with balloon tires, special
steering gear with a greater reduc-
ton will be installed on all cars car
rying these tires.
Balloons to be furnished for new
Ford cars will be of standard size 29x
4.40, straight side and mounted on
wood wheels. This equipment will
be available at "a comparatively small
! additionl cost to the purchaser.
I Arrangements also have been made
for providing dealers with balloon
/ tire equipment so that any Ford car
/ owner who desires to do so can
change over from high pressure tires.
Distribution of the new balloon
tire equipment has been madeto Ford
dealers and is now available to pre-
sent and prospective Ford owners.

CONGRESSMAN ALLEN INTRO
DUcES BILL TO BENEFIT H. C.
GIBSON, FIRST RURAL. CARRIER


Congressman Allen has introduced
bill to place Mr.. III. G. Gibson, of
Charles Town and Melville, on the
rural carrier retired list. Mr.. Glib
son was the first carrier appointed in
the service, and served faithfully and
well in the, position for twenty-one
years.
Representative Allen on February
II, spoke on the bill in the House, as
follows:
Mr.. Taylor of Colorado. Mr..
Chairman, / yield five minutes to the
gentleman from West Virginia (Mr.
Allen).
Mr. Allen. Mr.. Chairman, | should
like TO call the attention of the gen.
tlemen of the House to a remarkable
record of public service. have the
honor to have as one of my constitu-
ents the first rural mail carrier of
the United States, Mr.. H. C. Gibson,
of Charles Town, W. Va. Mr.. Glib
son was namd as rural carrier in
1896, by Postmaster General William
L. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson was also a
West Virginian, one of the ablest
men who ever served in this House,
and it was under his administration
as Postmaster General that the Rural
Delivery Service was first started in
this country.
Mr.. Gibson, the first rural carrier,
has a record that is unique from the
point of service, in that he served 81
wears as carrier in Jefferson Coun-
ty, w. Va, and during that time he
never missed one days travel over
his route. Such a record of cor
tinued and loyal service is indeed
commendable and deserving of reeog-
milton. This man has spent the bet
ter part of his life in public service,
without material advancement, for he
served part of the time at the salary
of So per month.
1t was stated here on the floor of
the House short time ago that no
family in the United States could
exist on $4,000 a year. wonder
how Mr.. Gibson got along with his
family on So month?
Mr.. Blanton. He was not in
Washington.
Mr.. Allen. Mr.. Gibson has recent
~ suffered an accident which crippled
him, and he is no longer able to do
heavy work. / have asked the Post
ton of his services by placing him on
their retirement list, but Secretary
New advises me that under existing
regulations he finds it impossible to
do this. | am therefore introducing
a private bill for Mr.. Gibson. in order
that he may receive some slight rec
IGNITION for his remarkable service.
Mr.. Gibson continued this work as
/ rural carrier until some time about
the year 1918. Living expenses grew
so great that he could not afford to
keep this system up Therefore, he
had to resign from the service and
seek other employment. Since that
time Mr.. Gibson has met with a mis-
fortune. an accident. As I stated.
would like to see him placed on the
retired list in order that he might
have some recognition for the great
service that he did during this long
period of time. He was often APP
pealed to for suggestions in the work.
and he was very able employee and
of much use to the Government in in
+ sailing this new system. Much good
i has come from his service as the pho
neer rural mail carrier of the United
States. (Applause.)
