In designing this coach, the Paige

Third: Serviceability

THE rear seat was placed far
enough behind the front seats SO
that the passengers in the rear may
stretch comfortably. Even after
stretching 1t is possible to carry
packages behind the front seats
without interfering with the leg
room in the rear seat.
Wide doors permit passengers
in the rear seat getting in and out
without requiring the riders in the
front seat to leave their seats. The
width of the doors Is Sc inches.

These various types of cushion
tires were cautiously received in the
United States and it was not until
about 1898 that they were really ac-
ceptcd. The improvement of the tire
has heen rapid since then, culminat-
ing in the present day distinct type
OF automobile tire, built up by con-
stank experiment; improved by ex-
perience and reaching its highest de-
velopment in the modern flexible
cord tire. with head construction
looped into the fabric itself. Cords
of this type give long, uninter-

comfort and perfect traction. A tire

ton has an extra thick, tough tread,
and engages the road with ease and
silence whether a cord tire or the
newest of all-the balloon tire.
