TIRE COMP ANY
PRODUCING ON
CAPACITY BASIS
u. S. Concern Expected to
Attain New Output
Peak This Year.

IN connection with the opening
Of the United States Tire Company
service station at Meridian and
Walnut streets. W. B. Harding
president Of the United States Tire
Company. Inc. formerly known as
the Indianapolis Rubber Company
describes as follows the background
and development Of the organiza-
ton.
The indianapolis Rubber Com
pany, now known as the United
States Tire Company. Inc. was or
gained in 1892 II has had. since
that time. an unbroken record Of
continuous operation, and is one Of
the oldest tire companies in the
country.
For a number Of years the prod
uct Of the plant was confined to the
manufacture Of @. & J. bicycle tires,
and certain repair sundries.
Held Basic Patent
IN its early history. the company
acquired the patent rights of the
ClinCher tire. and when the auto
mobile first came into use, every
rubber company producing tires in
the United States was licensed I'M
der G. & J. patents. and paid royalty
TO the Indianapolis Rubber Com
pany.
In the years that have ensued
since the company was formed, the
local factory has increased its num-
Der of employees from seventy-hve
or eighty to between 1 500 and / 500.
During the sO-called depression
period. its production in 1882 ex-
Ceeded its all-time record, and this
record in turn was very substan-
italy passed in 1888 The present
year indicates very clearly the
establishment Of a further produc-
ton peak"
Use Indiana Products
From May l. 1888, up to the
present date. the plant has operated
continuously on a basis of twenty
four hours a day. with the excep-
ton of the Christmas and New Year
week when production was sSuS-
pended for inventory purposes.
The parent company, the United
States Rubber Company, operates
two factories in Indiana. Repre-
senting purely Indiana disburse-
ments. the following figures are
interesting:
Number of persons employed,
$500: taxes paid in Indiana. sl54.-
O66: amOnt of annual pay oils,
S6.750O00. and Indiana coal con-
sumed. 1890 tons.
These figures represent only fac
tory employees. and do not take into
consideration the persons engaged
within the state in the distribution
Of the products of the two plants.
The amount of Indiana coal con-
sUmed is shown. because the last
two Governors of the state have
asked Indiana industries to patron
ize Indiana mines. and our entire
coal buying has been in conformity
with this request"

RESORT AREA
FOR 100 YEARS
County First Discover
ed" by Party of Veal
thy Charlestonians

Henderson county has been
widely known as a resort sec
ton, especially during the sum-
mer, for more than a hundred
years. It's location atop the
Blue Ridge, its beautiful noun
tains and streams, and many
acres of comparatively level
mountain land, make it ideal as
a tourist center.
Hendersonville, the county
seat, has a normal population of
slightly over 5000 people, and
the county population is $4,000.
But in the summer months Hen
dersonville's population jumps
to more than twice the normal
figure.
Henderson county was first
discovered" as a tourist and
vacation spot more than 100
years agS. A party of wealthy
Charlestonians travelling through
the country over the then rough
trails and roads, came to this
section. One of the leaders of
the party was so entranced with
the climate and surroundings
that he Immediately stopped
here and sent to Charleston and
other low country points for his
friends. Gradually many sum-
mer residences were built in
what is now termed the Flat
Rock section.
Many Of the old estates which
these Charleston people estab-
lished are still standing and
some of them are now occupied
in the summer months by de-
scendantS of the original settl-
ers. rnong these is the Seig-
ling house, now the property of
Conrad Cleveland. This house
was built by Count De- Choiseul,
a French nobleman.

Woodfields was formerly the
Planters inn and was a favorite

City Offers Many
Conveniences for
The Housekeeper

Hendersonville offers all mod
ern conveniences for the sum-
mer housekeeper. Electricity,
gas and water are available in
the city and most Of the coun-
ty. The Hendersonville water
supply is one Of the outstanding
features of the city. The water
is brought by gravity from the
upper slopes of the Pisgah Ma
tional forest and is as pure as
any to be found in the state.
The city water supply system
was built at cost of more
than a million dollars, and the
mountain water from Pisgah is
as pure and free from foreign
material that it does not need
filtering or chlorinating.
The housekeeper is assured a
constant supply of fresh vege-
tables and produce for the table
during the entire summer. Farm
ers bring their fresh produce
