IUENIUE
OF MILLER TIBES
Frank B. Bosch Local Represen
tative Explains Advantages of
Non-Skid? and Retreads
Tlio new homo of tho Miller Rubber
Company's Los Angeles branch at Pico
and Hope streets, is conpleted and the
doors opened last Monday.
The new branch will be. under the
direction of Walter Sahland, who is
one of the best known automobile men
iin California and lias been in business
in this field for more than ten years.
The. business of the Miller Rubber
Company has increased so rapidly on
the coast that this makes the fourth
move in Los Angeles since its modest
beginning a few years ago.
Locally the Miller Rubber Company
is represented by the Sterling Auto
Tiro Company at 1451 Zarker street
who maintain a distributing agency
for Miller tires. When seen by our
| reporter this week, Mr. Bosch said:
I "The condition of our business is ex
; tremely gratifying', there have been so
| many of our old customers around
| for new tires that we are assured that
the tire is giving the utmost satisfac
tion, and the old riders have been the
means of sending many new riders to
us. The Miller nonskid is rapidly com
j ing to the front as the most eeononii
.cal proposition on the market. We
have a record to-day of about 5,500
miles on the rear of one of the heavi
est touring cars in the city, on a rear
wheel where on tire had ever run 4,-
500 miles before, and the Miller tire
is still looking tine. We will show on
this car that to spend thirty per cent,
more for the sake or buying a five
thousand mile guaranty is wasting
money. Miller nonskids are averag
ing over six thousand miles in Harris
burg and this high average coupled
with a reasonable price is our proof
of tire economy. It is easy to buy
tires at prices less than we get for
I Miller tires but the initial saving' is
[soon dissapated in repair bills and the
| riders' doubts as to the safety of his
I tires becomes a third brake on his
: car. The safety of Miller tires is
proven by Its taking front rank in the
grind of long distance speed contests,
where there is every opportunity to
pound the tire to pieces. lam ready
to demonstrate that a Miller nonskid
coupled up with of our Sterling
retreads will give more miles for less
money than even the unguaranteed
tire propositions floating around so
plentifully these days, and the Miller
tire is the best retreading proposition
on the market Our repair shop puts
us in intimate touch with the founda
tion of the different makes of tires, for
we repair all makes offered lis, in the
invincible Sterling manner with the
best materials, and back our work with
a thorough guarantee for service. Wo
have always marked our work with a
distinguishing mark, we feel responsi
ble for our work and our mark is a
mark of our willingness to back that
responsibility to the limit; It prevents
any argument. If our mark is on the
work, we did it. Tf a tire needs re
pair and is worth repairing, we will
repair it and guarantee the work; if
It ip not worth repairing, that, is, it' the
cost of repai- cannot bo cancelled in
the future service the owner has a
right, to expect, we will not do the
work and take the owners money.
That hi 3 been the policy of my shop
from tl-e start and that policy will be
strictly maintained. Regardless; of
price I believe such a proposition is
the fairest and cheapest that, can be
offered the owner. The rapidly grow
ing list of loyal patrons would seem
to endorse such a policy if it needed
endorsement, but i take it that they
have found what they want and real
ize that their patronage is an Insur
ance against unwise expenditure."

Cradle Spring Frame
Strong heature on Indian
"While the motorcycles of 1914 as
a class arc much more comfortable
than their predecessors, nothing has
yet been devised to approach the lux
urious riding' qualities of the Cradle
Spring Frame, used exclusively on the
Indian, and the sensation of the 1913
season, when it was introduced,"
naively remarks the manager of the
West End Electric and Cycle Com
pany, keepers of the local Indian wig
wam. "Tile Cradle Spring Frame was
;;ri original and revolutionary device,
which eclipsed every comfort feature
hitherto applied to motorcycles.
"Really the best description of it
that ever has been given was that of
a veteran rider, vho, after his first
trial of it on rough roads, exclaimed,
"It's just Uko riding on air.' The Cra
dle Spring Frame was the outcome, of
eighteen months' relentless experi
ment and testing by the Indian engi
neers, and wnen they O. K.'d it, the
new era of Pullman comfort on the
motorcycle began.
"After thoroughly investigating all
springing systems, the Indian engi
neers decided that, the elliptic leaf
spring was the only practical suspen
sion for motorcycles. This opinion
was emphatically confirmed by tho
success won by tho Indian Cradle
Spring Fork after three years' strenu
ous tost on 35,000 machines. This
was tlie original spring fork of the
leaf type, and has since been so widely
copied that it now is practically stand
ard. The Cradle Spring Frame, how
ever, is so broadly covered by patents
that it cannot be imitated without in
fringement.
"The Spring Frame sj'stem consists
of two groups of vanadium leaves with
eight members and double scrolls in
each group. These are arranged par
allel along the rear wheel, and so sen
sitively active that the slightest shock
to the road wheel by irregularities is
taken up by the springs before reach
ing the rider. There are over 250
inches of springs in the rear system
and they rnako tho Indian ride like
a parlor car.
"The design and practical value of
the Cradle Spring Frame was amply
demonstrated by the success it
achieved last year among the 35,000
Indian riders who tested it savagely.
Because it has no rival it is still new,
and justly entitled to be classed as a
1914 feature. And it is by no means
impossible that it will be a 1915 one
and a 1916 one. too."
General Villa Buys Three
Hudson Sixes For War Duty
General Francisco Villa, of the
Mexican Constitutionalists, is using
three Hudson six-cylinder cars in his
I field operations. The cars were pur
chased at retail price and in competi
tion with other makes, from the Hud
son dealer at El Paso, Texas. With
I these machines Villa has kept in close
' personal touch with his campaign.
During the attack and capture, of Tor
! reon he traveled back and forth in his
] Hudson Six between Gomez Palacio,
i Bermejillo and other points. Fre
quently these trips were made by the
general during the night in order to
economize time and insure more
I rapid travel.
i The Hudson Sixes were given a
1 thorough practical demonstration as
to their value in warfare during the
: fighting in the vicinity of Lerdo and
Gomez Palacio. They were used by
I generals in going from one portion
of the field to another, as well as by
I messengers carrying orders from com
manding officers to subordinates in
| the field and proved to be a wonder
ful improvement over tho old mounted
messengers.
Owing to the water-burdened na
ture of the ground fought over, mes
sengers were forceed occasionally to
abandon their automobiles, but in the
main they were found to be very ef
fective and the entire fleet of autos
was at times in commission.
1,000 MULES IX THREE DAYS
Edward E. Krebsbach, of the First
National Bank of Adams, Minn., rode
his motorcycle to Reeder, N. T>., a
distance of 1,000 miles, In less than
three days. And Kresbacfi says that
his expenses for the entire trip
amounted to only $6.50. "I had no
trouble with my mount whatever, not
even a iium'ture," says Krebsbaih.
Shock Absorber Likened
to an Insurance Policy
"Here's a. good automobile shock
absorbor," said a well-known local in
surance man recently as ho exhibited
his buslnesß card on the hack of which
was -pasted a small newspaper ad
vertisement telling of the Simflex
shock absorber, placed in tho Tele
graph by the Eureka Wagon Works,
Dauphin county agents for the Sim
flex.
"That shock-absorber is like life
insurance," he continued. "T know
the Simflex to be a good thing, and
I'm boosting it. Tt takes all the shock
out of the car and of course gives
comfort to tho passengers whenever
any obstacles aro met on the road
while motoring. Its the same way
with life Insurance. Whenever death
strikes a wise man's family, the shock
is greatly absorbed by tho several
thousand dollars netted them through
my insurance company, and gives
comfort to the survivors. It "cases
up" the shock just like the Simflex.
"I have shown this card with the
Simflex advertisement on its back to
many people and have won favor for
it: as well as my insurance by telling
this story. Shock-absorbers and lite
insurance are good things. I think tho
Simflex vouches for itself, and—well,
everybody knows what lifo insurance
is worth."
This statement came voluntarily
from a Harrlsburg Insurance agent,
and was given to a representative of
the Eureka Wagon Works shortly after
that firm took over the local agency
of the Simflex early in the Spring. Jt
goes to show that the "Simflex" is
well though of outside the automobile
world as well as inside, and that it is
increasing its long list of friends
and users daily. This past week has
proved an especially busy one in the
shock-absorber line at the North
street factory. Many local motorists
have gotten their cars out,, painted,
varnished and fitted with Simflex all at
♦ho same time this Spring at the
Eureka Works.

Proving Automobile
Durability to Public
A unique demonstration of tho
thoroughness of manufacturing poli
cies and methods was recently mado
by a dealer in Louisville, Kentucky.
The dealer In question wished to
prove the durability of his car and
to do this In a convincing, spectacular
manner, publicly dismantled a Cadil
lac that had run 50,000 miles without
ever having been overhauled.
A force of mechanics removed all
the parts from the chassis and put
them on exhibition on a large stand
so that they could be examined just
as they came from a period of steady
service which might readily be con
sidered more than the entire life of
the average automobile. The nearly
perfect state of these parts, many of
which could not be distinguished from
new ones even on the closest examina
tion, caused something of a sensation
■and one of the spectators purchased
the car on the spot, thus proving the
effectiveness of this manner of dem
onstrating durability of material and
accuracy of manufacture.
Saxon at Half Way Mark;
2,025 Miles in 15 Days
Word has been received to the ef
fect that the 135-mile-a-day Saxon
car has just passed the half-way mark
of its long grind in Detroit with a
total of 2,025 miles covered in fif
teen days. It has made 165 circuits
of its course, each trip being for a
dista.ice of slightly more than twelve
miles.
The car was reported to be in as
good shape as the day it started on
its long run. No adjustments have
been found necessary. The tires show
no wear and an average of thirty
miles to the gallon of gasoline is be
ing maintained.
In making this 4,050-mile run the
