New Truck Tires
StepUp Mileage

With the combined needs of
national defense and increased
trucking activity resulting in peak
demand for truck tires, the b. F.
Goodrich Company announces a
new tire designed to conserve
rubber supplies by producing more
mileage per pound of rubber.
This new tire, known as the
Speedliner Silvertown, gives IS per
cent more mileage than any other
Teguiarfy-priCed tire the company
has ever made, according to James
J. Newman, vice president in
charge of tire sales.
New In design, the tire pro-
duces extra mileage because of
an important change In con-
structiOn that makes possible
the use OF thicker, wider and
flatter tread for contact with
the road" Newman said.
The announcement of the new
tire came as the company reported
that 1941 truck tire sales, on the
basis of expected demand, will be
the highest in history, even ex-
ceeding last years sales peak.
Truck tires, it was pointed out,
are vital in national defense for
the operation of military trucks,
scout cars and armored units.

Boys Aiding
Chinese
Technical Education
Helps Put Country
Back on Feet

A hundred young Chinese stu
dents who received a technical
education few years ago in Henry
Ford's factories today are using
this training TO help put China
back on her industrial feet. The
Ford trained youths are first lieu
tenants to Rewi Alley. the New
Zealander who started establishing
west pocket" industries to revive
a China left demoraliZed by mill
tary invasion.
Alley and Indusco. as his Chinese
Industrial Co-operatives are called.
have made such tremendous strides
to China's benefit that world lead
ers believe this movement to be
the most dynamic force now at
work in the Orient.
The part played by Henry Ford
in this picture is significant. Vir-
tually all of the technical direc-
ton of the Indusco movement is
provided by the Chinese students
trained at the Henry Ford Trade
School Between 1922 and 1886
these young men came to America
and spent several years learning
mechanics and engineering in the
Ford Rouge plant and its school
system.

Exactly Tailored

The orders are Immediately dis
patched by car distribution to the
manufacturing department and to
the Fisher Body plant. At all
plants production schedules are
properly synchronized so that new
parts required. plus finished SUBJ
assemblies. arrive at the final as
sembly line from widely scattered
sources within the manufacturing
operation.
Thus, without further in"truc-
tions, but with opportunity for
error virtually eliminated. cars
roll from the assembly line to the
loading dock exactly tailored to
the customers specifications three
days earlier.

cations system, of which Buick IS
the largest user for the purpose of
transmitting new car orders, in
cludes a network of al cities

who went TO China as a mission
airy and engineer, made the tecf1-
meal education possible for the
Chinese students. Bailie wrote the
automobile manufacturer. persuad-
ing him 10 help supply to a select
group of 100 students the type OF
training China needed most. Ford
agreed to the proposal. enrolled
the boys in his trade school, and
sent them back to China a few
years later as trained mechanics.
After the Japanese invasion
wrecked or paralyzed 80 per cent

valued at 100000 (Chinese)
monthly, including items ranging
from shoes to chemicals. Besides
producing commodities for civil
ians and soldiers, it is giving work
to refugees and citizens and is
