'a 1 One corner of the tire building department. E WONDER how many Omahans realize the magnitude and ef ficiency of the modern up-to-date tire factory. Not a great number we venture to, say. And yet, situated right here in our own city of Omaha is one of the important cogs in the great wheel of the tire industry of America the Nebraska Tire and Rubber Company, makers of the famous Cornhusker an d Interocean tires. Ranking fourth of all the state in the ownership of automobiles per capita Nebraska is a progressive and rapidly growing industrial area with the center of distributing activity in Omaha. Many and varied industries have taken root here are thriving and booming, pushing Omaha to the front as one of the recognized commercial districts of the world. The Nebraska Tire and Rubber Company is a 100 per cent Omaha institu tiona part of the life of the community. You can be justly proud of this factory proud of its succesful accomplishments in the marketing of a high quality, strictly Omaha product Any industry that is a thriving success is interesting to know about. The Ne braska Tire and Rubber Company is indeed that The 1921 output of Corn husker and Interocean tires was over 500 per cent greater than that of 1920. The first 5 months -of 1922 show an increase of more than 25 per cent over the entire 12 months of 1921. , With the factory running full-tilt night and day 3 shifts of 8 hours each for every 24 hours it is still impossible to keep ahead of the steadily in creasing demand for Cornhusker tires. It is conservatively estimated that before the remaining 7 months of this year have gone the total 1922 out put will exceed 1921 by at least 200 per cent. A truly phenomenal record. "How do you do it?" was a question asked of Mr, W. W. Wuchter, presi dent of the Nebraska Tire and Rubber Company, "By knowing our business applying general business ethics in our daily dealings and by offering a high grade product at a reasonable price," was the president's reply. When questioned as to the future of the tire business, Mr. Wuchter an swered, "It is just what you make it. There are wonderful days ahead for the tire business. In Nebraska we have special reasons to be optimistic. This state ranks fourth of all the states in automobiles per capita. "This factory has reduced its selling cost to a minimum of 5 per cent by distributing through jobbers. The consumer reaps the benefit of this low sales cost He can buy Cornhusker tires at a fair and reasonable price. , "We manufacture only fabric tires, using the best square woven 'fabric and material money can buy. We have received hundreds of letters testifying to the unusual performance of the Cornhusker and the Interocean Tires. One from a western Nebraska man stated that his Cornhuskers have run 35,000 miles without being removed from the wheel. "We will compete with any cord tire on the market," concluded Mr. Wuch ter, "and beat them. Fabric tires, if made properly, are the strongest and best tires you can buy. Cornhusker and Interocean tires are made in all sizes from 30x3 to 37x5." Part of the vulcanizers. :-J""uu"LL-l- "W u.a't' Rolling tubes. HIT 'j- Another section of the tuberoom.
