LEN CITIZEN CAR
LIFE USING
BALLOON
Cushioning Qualities Also
Offer Maintenance Of
Steady Speed.

The average automobile driver now
hits the bumps as he never used to
hit them.
And all because OF the soft, easy
riding, luxury giving balloon tire
which makes him think that n
bunny road is a glass-smooth boule-
ward.
Therefore, balloon tires must stand
a great deal more punishment thnn
their predecessors. high pressure tires,
according TO Miller tire men here.
Tiremen assert that in spite Of this
fact, they show up as well as the
high pressure tire.
ABSORBS SHOCK.
The driver whose car rides on high
pressure tires is fully conscious Of all
the bumps and jars, and when he
sees bad spot in the road he steers
around it. say tiremen. But when
he puts on balloon tires he hits the
bumps, because he doesn't realize the
punishment he gives the tires. They
absorb the shock while the car and
driver escape.
The comfortable balloon tire has
caused another thing the mainte-
nance OF an even, steady speed, in
spite of rough stretches in tn road.
LENGTHEN CAR LIFE.
For while drivers no longer steer
around the bad spots, neither do they
slow down. And, while the driver
doesn't realize it, his tires must take
punishment he never would have
thought of giving high pressure tires.
While development Of the less ply
tire with its greater air space and
cushioning qualities has been an aid
to motoring comfort, operators Of
light, high speed trucks and buses
have seen its advantages and many
of them now are using it for com.
mercial cars.
Cars will last longer, and will not
develop squeaks and rattles early in
their service when equipped with bal
loon tires.

and nine months to build the last half
million Bucks. which were finished
December 10, 1925. The first million
Bucks were finished March %, 1923,
in approximately eighteen years. The
last hundred thousand Bucks were
built in the last five months. Under
present production, it will take only
little over two years more to reach
the two million mark.
While the first million Bucks took
eighteen years to build, the second mil
lion, according to present production,
will take only four years and ten
months. and half Of them are already
in service.
OPERATE AT CAPACITY.
The plant is being operated at ca
pacity throughout the winter months.
Looking to the future, the company is
spap1in, tuo y,,;lliou dollor pc in 0u nv
pansion program TO increase produc-
ton to twelve hundred cars a day and
three hundred thousand cars year.
The new models introduced in August
met such an enthusiastic reception that
new production record was set in
October, when twenty-three thousand
cars were shipped from the factory.
An average production of twenty thou.
sand cars n month has been maintain
ed since July.
