He is now engaged in making the preliminary arrangements for putting on the market an invention of his, consisting of a machine which will tighten or set tires on the wheel without heating or removing the tire from the wheel. He has used it in his shop for two years, where it has proven a success in every particular. At first the machine was nut strong enough to set 3-inch tires in this manner, but he has now so streligtbened it that this is done successfully. By the use of the machine much time is saved, as by act ual count of minutes he Iihs set the four tires of a buggy in ten minutes.
