Skilled Work Required in Making Auto Tires Scrubbed In great vats, steamed and combed, until not an Impure particle remains, the gum Intended for Fire stone tires Is put through the first steps of its transformation. Virtually every bit of moisture is removed from the air in the drying room before it is blown over the gum, and in the larger factories, such as that of the Firestone company, a for tune in rubber always is lying under the whirring fans. After being dried the gum is mixed with chemicals to give it the consist ency and wear-resisting qualities nec essary before it can be used. In the compounding room the first stand is < taken by the manufacturer either for cheapness or quality. A good and nec essarily expensive compound is used c If the latter is the end In view, and a poor compound if the former is de- "WTE take pleasure in announcing to the W motoring public that we have assumed the agency for the Partin-Palmer Automo biles.

I sired. Steel rollers grind the chemicals Into the gum until the latter Is thor mghly impregnated. Then, passed between the big steam- . heated rollers of the calender ma hines, the gum is rolled Into sheets of varying thicknesses, depending on the ourposes for which they are intended. Meanwhile the fabric, the founda tion of the tires, has been prepared. The best Sea Island cotton, of which every inch has been inspected for flaws, and which can withstand a nulling test of 300 pounds, is the Fire stone standard. Before the actual work of building up a tire is begun, the fabric must be "frictioned" or rubberized. Every 1 mesh must be completely and evenly filled or fabric-separation is likely to occur when the finished tire begins Its work. Together with a sheet of rub ber, the fabric is sent through calen dar machines, the rubber being crush ed into the cloth and virtually be- I coming a part of it LINCOLN HIGHWAY SIGN POSTS Millions of dollars will be spent on the Lincoln Highway during 1914. Carl Q. Fisher, vice-president of tho association, discussing the project said: "We have substantial assurances from County Commissioners, civic bodies and others that improvements on this road during the year will run Into millions. "The Lincoln Highway is at this time the best marked continuous highway in the world. By July 1 It will be completely marked from coast to coast, so that it will be pos sible to drive over the route from New York to San Francisco at any time, day or night, and never lose an inch of the road." IIOW DIMMERS CAME Legislation in big cities Is respons ible for the nuhiber of cars equipped with electric headlight dimmers. As the use of glaring headlights is be coming a misdemeanor, the manufac turers are taking steps to correct the evil by furnishing the dimming de vices. ANDREW REDMOND IN 1914 OVERLAND Well versed in everything on wheels, a vehicle man who has built and sold wagons, carriages, bicycles and j automobiles, Mr. Redmond Is specially enthused over the 1814 Overland model*. j GHJILMERS LIGHT SIX DISTINCTJpi MODEL Keystone Offers Two Sizes of Six- Cylinder Chalmers Cars, Sim ilar in Construction This year the Chalmers Motor Car Company comes out among the makers who manufacture only sixes. The tour has been discontinued, but In Its place the company has announced the light six. The new 6-48 was made to answer the demand for a lighter weight six-cylinder car—one which has all the qualities of flexi bility, silence and efficiency of the larger sixes with the. economy and low price of the average four. The new Chalmers is not a little car. In carry ing capacity and general roominess it is as large as any flve-passenger model. Yet It weighs only sixty-eight pounds per passenger. This latest of Chalmers Sizes has, like Its larger brother, the 'Six-60," a six-cylinder T-head motor. The light "six" marks an even stronger tendency tiian previous Chalmers "Bixes" to the long stroke design. The bore is 3% inches and the stroke 6% inches. The wheel base is 126 inches and the chassis is equipped with 3 tire 2,575 miles covered. AH five Bnlck Cars made perfect road sco.es, perfect brake, clutch gear-set twits.

COLE CAR lODG THIS YEAR'S MODELS New Here But Known From Coast to Coast; Represented Here by Bowman & Co. Bowman & Co.. who have taken up tho agency for the Cole car, better known as the "standardized car," will have on display at the automobile show a complete line of Cole cars, con sisting of a four-cylinder car with a 120-Inch wheelbase and complete equipment, at $1,925, and a six-cylin der 186-Inch wheelbase car, completely equipped, at $2,600. Both cars have Delco electric lighting and self-starter systems. W. H. Nlcolai. who has charge of the automobile department, is par ticularly enthusiastic over the Cole, and feels sure that the people will be quick to appreciate tho unusual beauty and refinement of these cars. Mr. Nlcolai said, In speaking of the service end of their business yester day: "The Cole policy of buying noth ing but the best standard parts and material, the majority of which are i found on cars selling around the $4,000 motor car an honest value. I am a firrh believer in the theory that the best advertising is a satisfied customer. In other words, we want every owner of a Cole car to be a 'Cole booster.' Naturally, we want every car sold to give satisfaction; but It Is beyond rea son to expect that some slight diffi culties will not arise from time to time, and it Is to give attention to these matters that we have established a service station, which will be In charge of E. W. Lockman. Mr. Lockman has had wide experience In thle end of the automobile business and will see that Cole owners get good service." NO GUARANTEED TIRES ABROAD In the talk of a foreign Invasion by tlremakers, It Is to be borne In mind that standards Of selling tires abroad are vastly different from those In vogue here. Guarantees are absolute ly unheard of abroad, and there is not even a sort of understanding when the tire is bought that It Is likely to run MUiJJBF Buy It Because It's a Better Car The car of Vanadium steel construction, the most assessable and powerful motor in the world, simplicity in operation, economical to maintain are a few of the features that have made it the most popular car. It will require two trains of forty-three car loads each to deliver the cars contracted for the Harrisburg territory. Get your orders in early as the cars are being sold as fast as delivered. Ford Sales Company 10th and Market Streets any given number of miles. Under such conditions, it is easily seen that foreign makers invading this field will have to make changes in their selling methods, if" they are to stand on the same footing with American manu facturers. Of course, the recent cut in American tire prices makes the ac tual invasion a doubtful thing. Most tire manufacturers in this country give it to be understood when the tire is bought from them that it should give about 8,600 miles' service. They can hardly be said to give a guarantee In so many words. There is one firm that does actually give a written guarantee of 6,000 miles' ser vice for its tires. Such a procedure ia wholly unthought of abroad and what is more remarkable tires there do not last anywhere near the mileage that ia attained by the average in this coun try. It seems ss if the very freedom from obligation has made the foreign ers Indifferent.
