PORTO R|CO'S HILLS
CONQUERED BY BUICK

Automobile owners in Porto Rico
have driving problems which demand
the utmost stamina in a car. accord
ing TO Hazelton Avery, American
fruit grower, who has spent the past
% years on the island.
Avery. who was in Flint, Mich.
recently to purchase a Buick car.
says that all the roads, with the ex-
ception of those within five miles Of
the sea coast. are high up in the hills
which cover the central portion OF the
island. The Porto Ricans hardly know
what straight. level stretch of high
way looks like. as all their driving
is done up and down precipitous
slopes and around breath-taking
curves. All cars used on the island
are American made. Avery says,
Bucks being the most popular in
their class.
Avery illustrates the nature of
Porto Rican topography, by telling
a story. 1t seems that n native had
let his neighbours COW out Of the pas
ture. and the owner of the animal
brought suit for damages. During the
trial the plaintiff was asked why he
didn't put the cow back into the pas
ture and forget about the suit. To
which the native replied, when |
put the cow in the pasture, it was
calf and l carried her there. Now sha
is a COW and is out Of the pasture. ]

CORD CONSTRUCTION
GOVERNS TIRE LIFE

Your tires are no better than their
cord structure.
This terse statement is made by III.
c. s. Smith, San Antonio dealer for
the Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany. Mr.. Smith was emphasizing the
need for greater thought on the part
of every motorist for the vital factors
in tire construction that control mile
age and govern economy.
~Tires are, in reality. cord fabric
structures. heavily insulated and forti.
fled with rubber" he said. THE back
bone of the tire, the framework, the
skeleton of the tire, is therefore the
cord material from which it is built.
On an even basis with the quality OF
the tread, side-wall and bead construc-
ton. too much attention cannot be
given TO the cord structure of the
rire, when new equipment is being
bought.
I'm the first place, the actual quail
ity Of cord material employed is a vital
factor. The best, long fiber cotton
grown is put into good tires and. as
result. there is natural residence.
fiexibility, strength and great powers
Of endurance.
"Use of this type of cord ma
tcria1 is imperative in every good tire.
thing manufacturers have realized for
years. But how to preserve this life.
flexilibity and strength in their cords
is a problem that has been hard TO
solve.
How 10 insulate and impregnate
every cord and every fiber of every
cord. not only so they may be held
firmly in place. reducing internal fric-
ton TO the minimum. but to prevent
the cords from actually burning out I:
to keep them from aging and becoming
brittle, that has always been and still
is the big problem before the great ma
jority of tire manufacturers.
"Firestone gum-dipped tires retain
their original flexibility. strength and
endurance with remarkable tenacity,
as proved by the most gruelling tests
motoring. both on the speedways and
the highways, can produce. This, of
course, is due TO the coordination be-
tween vital factors in their construc-
tion and quality of materials. Gum
dipping spans the gap that ordinary
tire manufacturers leave vide open. -

SCRAP RUBBER
PRICES ARE
SOARING
Save Your Old Casing, It's
Valuable Now, Say -
Junk Men,

From now on and for a long time
the junk man and the rubber reclaim
er are going to make it tough for
the youngsters who have been ac-
customed to cushioning their swings
with hold tire castings under the old
apple tree" according to a statement
on the rubber situation just issued
by the General Tire and Rubber COM
pany. Akron, Ohio.
just a few years ago, when crude
rubber was cheaper and tire prices
corresponded, the price of scrap rub
Der went to almost nothing through
out the country and no effort was
made to gather it. The average junk
man wouldn't even carry old castings
away as a courtesy, and worn out
tires were Put to some quaint uses.

swings easier to sit in and cling to !;

tires at the back end of the garage

ARMY ADDS CHEVROLET
TRANS-CONTINENTAL CAR

The latest addition to the Army
transportation service is the Chevro-

ing to the Smith Motor Sales company

The machine as used by the military
is the regular Chevrolet chassis with
out the passenger top and body. 1t is
fitted with low, cushioned seats. The
tenders and running board are the
same as are used on the passenger cars
of the Chevrolet line. The car carries
front and rear bumpers and the wheels
are of the steel disc type.
The Chevrolet Army car is used
principally for the rapid conveyance
of officers during maneuvers or other

military operations. The combination
of balloon tires, light, stripped chassis
and powerful engine enables it to
leave the roads and travel over rough
country. Attached to the tops of the
rear tenders are metal hand rails
which the occupants of the back seats
may grasp when the going is bad.
General John A. Lejeune. comman-
der of the United States Marine Corps,

and Colonel o. s. Eskridge. The lat
ter drove the car during the maneuv-
ers.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-15

Very little reclaimed rubber can be
used in high grade tires, however.
and none in good inner tubes.
Another result of the crude rubber
situation is a greatly increased sale
of repaired and traded-in tires, despite
the fact that after all the tire price
advances of 1925. new tires are now
selling at about their 1923 figure.
This demand for used tires is
psychological and is not based Oh
really oppressive tire prices, but Gen
eral dealers find it a booster for their
business just the same. They make
it practice to buy the unusued mile
age left in tires of number of other
makes,
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-11-15

to serve as bumpers and shock
absorbers on the driven.
In 1923 the best price quoted for
scrap for retaining was as low as
fifteen dollars ton, less than n
cent a pound. This year prices have
gone as high as three cents a pound,
or sixty dollars n ton. So again the
song of the itinerant horse-and-wagon
merchant is complete, and his chant
includes "old rubber" as well as
paper, rags and old iron" All this
is due to the soaring of crude rub
Der prices. All signs indicate that
rubber will not be much lower for a
long time. so the use of reclaimed rub
Der is being increased by the manu-
facturers of many rubber articles.

OAKLAND 81 7 8
SALES RECORD
IN OCTOBER
8003 Cars Are Shipped to
Dealers and Many Orders
Yet Unfille d.

The Oakland Motor Car Company
broke all previous monthly sales rec
ords during October when SO03 cars
were shipped to dealers.
As the factory has not yet caught
up with dealers untitled orders iaesc
figures are practically synonymous
with retail sales.
The production at the factory was
S0sS cars, single car more than the
production quota set for October.
HIGH RECORD.
The factory sales for October beat
the previous high monthly sales .ecori
of February 1924 by ii IL per cent.
1t also was more than 146 per cent
greater than the sales in October OF
last year and represents 63 per cent
increase over September of this year.
The present daily production will be
gradually increased through November,
December and January, and to this
end SS50.o00 have been spent in pro-
viding the necessary equipment to
make possible the expanding Oakland
six production program.
IMPRESSIVE SALES
Particularly impressive records of re-
TAIL sales were made in the large metro
politan cities of the country where
competition is keenest. Among the large
cities, where Oakland enjoyed the
greatest October retail sales in its his
tory and ranked exceptionally high in
new car registrations are included

the points and advantages of these

To maintain a standard of quality
manufacturing at the highest possible
peak, the Oakland Motor Car COM
pany this last week has established q
permanent department for foreman
ship training-a pioneering develop
ment among large industrial institu-
tons.
The eighty-one foremen who have
elected to take the evening course have
been divided into two classes, one
netting on Tuesday and one Wednes-
day evenings OF each week.
Shipments of Ford touring cars are
increasing. states Raymond Wood
ward. of the Morgan-W oodward Auto
company. The Ford Motor company
has increased its output and is able
to fill the thousands of orders placed
by dealers all over the United States.
At the present rate of shipments, the
local dealers should be able to fill
back orders for touring cars within
the next few weeks. The output of
the closed models and runabouts is
not as great as touring cars and it
will be a while before these orders
can be filled, he says.
II. P. Callihan. of the used car de-
partment of Morgan-W Woodward Auto
company, has received a number of
compliments recently on his display
of used cars. Mr.. Callihan has a
large space in the rear of the South
Flores street store, where he has a
display of used cars to be sold by the
company. The used car business OF
the. company is good, says Raymond
Woodward. especially since the new
system of displaying has been adopted.
Fl. +. Burkett, assistant manager
of the Ford Motor company factory
branch at Houston. paid a friendly
visit to Herpel-G Gillespie last week.
Mr.. Burkett complimented the con-
Germ on its progress in the Ford bust
ness.
