Miller Rubber Co. Buys
Land For Extension
Announcement haa been made by
the Miller Rubber company, Akron,
Ohio, manufacturers of Miller tires,
that the stretch of land joining their
plant at High street and Stanton ave
nue, has been purchased with a view
to extending their present manufac
turing facilities, says F. B. Bosch, of
the Sterling Auto Tire company, 1451
Zarker street.
The buildings which wore formerly
occupied by the Frans! body works
will remain until some plans have
been prepared for new construction,
A new 2,000 horsepower plant has
already been arranged for.
It is interesting to note that this Is
the second large extension added to
the Miller Rubber company's plant
within the last two years and owing
to the very large increase in their
tire business, over 95,000 square feet
of floor space was added last year.
A new four-story building also made
its appearance while additional floor
space was secured when the build
ing was remodeled.

SOUTH AFRICA A BIG
FIELD FOR MOTOR CABS
Lack of Railroads Makes Other
Means of Locomotion Than
Ox-cart Necessary
C. H. Dtinlap, export manacer of
the Hupp Motor Car Company, has
returned to Detroit after an absence
of twenty-two weeks spent in investi
gating sales conditions of the motor
Industry in South Africa. Dunlap is
the first motor expert who has ever
gone through Africa on a mission of
Investigation, and his report on busi
ness prospects shows that the country
is worth the attention of every motor
car manufacturer who has entered the
lists in quest of foreign business.
"There is a very good future." said
Mr. Dunlap yesterday, "for the auto
mobile industry in South Africa. In
fact, there is not a foreign country
that I know of where motor cars can
be used to greatr advantage. The rea
son Is on account of the very poor
railroads that seem to abound
throughout the Union. The lack of
transportation facilities makes it nec
essary for the South African to use
some other means of locomotion than
the ox-cart, and right here is where
the automobile steps In.
"The commercial travelers vise mo
tor cars in great quantities—it helps
develop their territory and enables
them to call on small towns surround
ing the large cities. Mine operators
use motor cars quite extensively, and
even the Boer farmers, who live in the
interior and who formerly went to
town two or three times a year, now
are able to make regular trips to thq
big cities, "and it is uncommon when
a week goes by and a farmer does not
go to town.
"'The roads around the large cities
of Tape Town. Johannesburg, Port
Elizabeth and Pretoria are in very ex
cellent condition. Roads outlying the
cities to any great extent are very
poor and in many sections there are
no roads at all—one has to run right
across the 'velts.'
"There is a project on foot, which
has been sanctioned by the Colonial
government, to establish good roads
and Improve roads now through the
country, for which $5,000,000 has
been appropriated. This work of road
improvement has already been started,
and the end of this year will see many
roads through that country In perfect
condition, which now are nothing but
by-paths. This, of course, will greatly
Improve motor facilities, and it will
mean that a larger quantity of cars
will b* brought into Africa for the
coming season than ever before.
"The Hupmobile business in Africa
has been wonderful. Originally our
dealer at Port Elizabeth contracted
for twenty-five cars, and up to the
present date, for the 1914 season, he
has had delivery of over 400. In the
face of this, South African business
men f-tate that the past year has not
been over prosperous.
"Conditions for 1915 look excellent.
There are many irrigation projects
pending, which will greatly Increase
the agricultural prospects for the
country. The Colonial government is
using every means at hand to increase
prosperity and the general develop
ment of the country. The progressive
methods that they are using forecast
that 1915 will be one of the biggest
years in their history."

GERMANY WARNED TO
BRACE FOR SHOCK
American Metallurgical Exhibit of
Startling Sort Is on
the Way
Staid, sedate old Germany, famous
for ages as the nation most skilled in
metallurgy and its exemplifications,
will soon receive a shock.
The motive force is already on the
way. Jt takes the form of a series
of mounted exhibits, gathered for the
benefit of its German dealers by the
Studebaker Corporation of South Bend
and Detroit. And the exhibits are de
signed to show at a glance the won
derful American development of Ger
many's ancient art, as embodied in
the modern, popular-priced automo
bile.
That an American manufacturer
should organize such a demonstration
to influence German purchasers will,
it is confidently foretold, constitute
in itself an instance of bravado from
the Teutonic point of view. The ex
hibits, however. simply speak for
themselves—tacit evidence to the su
preme value of machine methods,
scientific heat treatments and the ap
plication of laboratory conclusions to
manufacturing practice.
There are enlargements of micro
scopic photographs, showing the wide
variance of the different types of steel
used for the various Studebaker parts.
Kach photograph shows the evidence
of some especial Studebaker forge op
eration. heat or quench.
There is an axle shaft r f Studebaker
steel, bent double hy the t'remendous
force of over 50,000 pounds, but still
showing no flaw.
There is shown in detail the steel
disk from which. In seventeen press
ing operations, grows the broad, ef
ficient Studebaker push rod, that
takes even the click out 'of a Stude
baker motor.
There are Studebake- Rears which
a file cannot scratch.
There is a Studehaker front axla
which, in a mighty machine has heen

These and other parts of similar

play goes to the credit of George E.

Chandler Motor Car
Company Has Big Year
That the recent announcement of
the reduction in price of the Chandler
1915 Light Six model to $1,595 was
made possible by the successful year
through which the company has just
passed and that, the new list price is
in reality a profit sharing price was
made evident in the report of Presi
dent P. C- Chandler to the board of
directors at the meeting in Cleveland
this week.
The Chandler company began op
erations July 1 last year, and although
the fiscal year does not end until July
1, 1914, the company has manufac
tured and sold the entire production
planned upon for the 1914 season.
The success of the car in the hands
of dealers and the public, and the
large sale which it enjoyed, together
with the fact that the company has
been absolutely free from misfortunes
of any kind has resulted in a most
satisfactory year's business from a
financial point of view.
The treasurer's report showed a
surplus nearly equal to the company's
original cash capital, notwithstanding
the fact that dividends htve been reg
ularly paid on the preferred stock
since July 1- of last year. In view of
this remarkable showing the board
of directors authorized the payment
of the regular dividend upon the pre
ferred stock, and a dividend of Ave
per cent, on the common stock, pay
able July 1.
It is a well known fact that business
conditions have not been normal in
the past year, and therefore the show
ing made by the Chandler company in
the first year of its operations has
been most satisfactory to the directors
and stockholders of the institution.
Cadillac Tests Cooling
System by Climb Up Canyon
One of the hardest cooling tests for
an automobile In California, and,
doubtless, one of the most severe in
the country, is the twelve-mile climb
up the Santa Ana canyon to Big Bear
valley. It is not only a heavy climb,
for at one point the road crosses over
itself soven times, but there are deep
sand, rough rocks and deep water to
negotiate. There is also the changing
altitude which causes many oars to
miss and sputter, necessitating car
buretor adjustment.
Recently Jacob Beatus achieved the
distinction of reaching the top suc
cessfully, making the climb In a 1914
Cadillac. Mr. Beatus .chose a time
when the trip was even more difficult
than usual, for these had been ex
tended washouts and at places the
roadway was a mass of rocks. How
ever, when Mr. Beatus reached the
top and water was put into the radia
tor only a quart was required to cause
an overflow. Mr. Beatus Is not the
only Cadillac driver to make this
grade without stopping for water, for
several owners turned the trick last
year. •
Maintenance Cost of
Tires Depends on Tubes
George W. Myers, local representa
tive for Fisk tlrea at 225 Hummel
street. In discussing the maintenance
cost of tires, said the greatest econemy
consists In good tubes, although cheap
casings are not advisable. "It always
pays to find out before spending your
money," said Mr. Myers. "Even a su
perficial examination of tubes shows
a difference between them. A pure,
fine Para tube like the Fisk Is evident
In its feel to the touch. In its elasticity
and Its thickness as compared to Its
weight. A good tube of that standard
lasts Indefinitely, can take numberless
puncture repairs and does not stretch
out of shape. When a tube does
stretch there Is always a chance It
[may damage good casinga." ,

SAXON CAR REACHES
SALT LAKE CITY
On Twenty-third Day of Run, Lin
coln Highway Car Had Cov
ered 2,479 Miles
The Lincoln Highway Saxon car
reached Salt Lake City on the twenty
third day of its trip from New York
to San Francisco, and when last heard
from was crossing the desert in Ne
vada, headed for Eureka.
The worst road conditions on thj
entire trip thus far wete experienced
by the coast-to-coast car in traversing
the State of Wyoming. According to
a dispatch from the drivers, the
gumbo mud and alkali of lowa and
Colorado were mild compared with
the difficulties of getting over the
trails and steep-sided guillies of Wy
oming.
Added to these sevoro conditions,
which are adverse at their best, the
car had to contend with rain. It is
practically impossible to cross Wyom
ing without encountering a number
of cloudbursts.
In arriving at Salt Laki City the
Lincoln Highway Saxon covered a
distance of 2,479 miles in twenty
three days, averaging thirty miles to
the gallon of gasoline and 150 miles
to the quart of oil. Throughout the
entire trip the average over the steep
est hills has never fallen below twen
ty-five miles per gallon of gasoline.
When San Francisco is reached this
Saxon car will hold a record for hav
ing run 7,439 miles in *..xty days of
travel. It previously covered 135
miles a day for thirty days. That per
formance coupled with the IJncoln
Highway run places the equivalent of
two years of service accomplished in
