Stepped Up. IS
By ROY c. HAYES.

DETROIT. Nov. Under the
pressure of the greatest demand that
Ford has ever known, the motor kings
factories in Detroit are preparing to
build 10000 cars and trucks every
day.
Production is now running at the
astounding pace of 0100 vehicles daily
and is to be stepped up again this
week. 1t is highly probable before the
close of the month. the daily grist will
approach the 10000 mark.
Ford is now employing 10000 men
in an effort to satisfy the demand that
is setting new records every day. More
men are being hired daily, with every
department at top speed.
LARGE PRODUCTION.
All monthly production records went
by the boards in October when Ford
made more than 100000 cars and
trucks.
Prospects for near capacity produc-
ton in auto plants here right through
the winter loom bright, following the
announcement of several leaders that
nearly all the larger factories will run
at capacity.
Ford, Packard, Chrysler. Hudson.
Essex. Oakland. Hupp, Cadillac and
WHY'S Overland are among those who
plan to maintain 100 per cent stride
through the ice months.
PUBLIC IS SOLD.
Elimination of the so-called seasonal
demand for cars is seen as the reason
for the prospect for busy winter
in automobile plants. Although April
and Nav are still the biggest sales
months. They do not maintain the
dominance over other months as IN
former years. Aside from the fact
that manufacturers have influenced
the trend to even out the sales sea
son by introducing new models late
in summer. the general public is thor
oughly sold on the utility and neces

1924 CAR CONSTRUCTION
IS DOUBLING TIRE LIFE

Improved methods of construction,
which cut the average consumption OF
auto tires per car almost in half from
1917 to 1924. are expected to reduce
the average number of tire replace.
ments per car still further in 1925.
In 1917 the average number Of tires
used as requirements on each car was
4.52. while in 1924 this figure was
cut 10 only pa tires. This record has
been made despite the fact that the
average auto in 1924 was used morc
than the average car in 1917.
SERVICE INCREASED.
However the production OF auto
tires keeps OH the increase, although
they last longer, because of the rapid
increase in the number Of automobiles
in the country.
Practically every year has seen a
new milestone in the path of tire con-
struction progress, according TO Miller
engineers, and remarkable improve
ments have nearly doubled the services
in them in seven years.
Adoption of the cord principle OK
construction added miles to tire serv.
ice. Then followed the development OF
the balloon type of tire which resulted
in not only long service but also a de-
gree of comfort not dreamed previ-
ously.
FLAT TREAD HELPS.
Following this was the birth OF the
flat tread type, which has added
thousands of miles Of service because
the flat tread presented more surface
to the road. thus giving better traction
while making the tire last longer be-
cause the flat tread wears evenly and
slowly.
Tests Of this type Of tire on all
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-08

kinds of roads and in all seasons have
demonstrated that it ranks among the
outstanding developments in tire con-
struction. The uniflex principle OF
construction. in which each part OF
the tire flexes in unison. has pro.
longed tire life by reducing internal
heat and the destructive processes that
internal heat indicates.
Very few industries, Il Is claimed,
have shown a greater advance in such
a short time than in the rubber tire
industry.
