Business Is Good
in Auto Industry,

Says Rynerson
Goodyear Tire Representative
Asserts Balloon Tire Rap
idly Forging Its Way To
ward Public Demand.
"Business condition* look good In
.he automotive Industry," declared
Mr. Rynerson, sales representative of
'I * Goodyear Tire and Rubber com
lionv for this section, who has Just
returned from a week's sale* confer
ee'-? at Akron where the great Good
Mar factories are located.
Miron is ea-lly the tlr* renter of
the country, with OR per cent of the
tiies sold in the United States being
.- in that city." said Mr. Ryner
son.
Reports made hy factory represents
1 '« from every seetlon of the United
Stile Indicate that while no great
boom la expected, 'here should lie
'■'!'! satisfactory business during the
j ear.
"The hig thing today seem* to be
balloon tires," said Mr. Rynerson,
In every section of the country
the demand for balloons i.« Increasing
at an amazing rate.
Ralloon Tires Effective.
"The automobile ma nufacturers
have come over to balloons practically
1(M) per cent with these tirea ns
standard or optional equipment on
all^makp* of car*. In addition, the
-dz'ibllc Is coming to find out that it
can get the advantage of balloon tire
equipment on present cars through
the Interchangeable balloons which fit
present rims or by putting on small
diameter wheels built especially for
balloon tires.
"Whatever skepticism balloon tires
had to face at the outset lies disap
peared since the tires have been out
long enough by now for the public
to he convinced that in addition to
their easy riding qualities they are
giving more satisfactory mileage,
have better traction and nonskid
qualities and have proved definitely
superior to the old high-pressure
tires.
"Goodyear’s success In building
balloon tires has, of course, been aid
ed by Its supertwlst cord, which has
much higher resiliency than the old
t>n-d fabric and so gives still better
cushioning as well ag better wearing
qualities.
"The supertwlst cord Is another
product of Goodyear'* experimental
laboratorten which for yeaf* have
l)*en working out Improvement* In
tire manufacture, and have given the
industry the straight side tire, now
Standard over the world, the first
practical cord lire and the pneumatic
tVuck tire.
Operate Own Cotton Mills.
J “Goodyear has It* own cotton mills
Tt Goodyear, Conn.; New Bedford,
Mass., and Los Angeles; operates a
great cotton plantation In Arizona
and a rubber plantation In Sumatra
—thus giving the company control
evi'r the quality of the raw materials
^^mnt go into the tire and Which very
largely determine the mileage the tire
will give.
"Incidentally It is significant that
the successive Improvements In manu
facture under quantity production
method* have enabled marked econo
mies to be made In production costs,
so that the automobile tire Is one of
the few articles today which can be
had at less than prewar cost*.
“And this lowering of cost has
been accompanied hy a steady im
provement In quality. For every
automobile owner who drove a car In
U'14 knows that he gets four or five
time* as many miles out of his tiree
today ns he did at that time.”
MOON RECORDS
SHOW INCREASES
"The stability, permanence, and in
creasing growth of the Moon Motor
Car company is reflected in a survey
of the companies activities since its
organization,'’ according to Carl
Changstroni of the Changstroni Motor
company.
For a score of years before the
first automobile was built in this
country in 1 893, the Moon Brothers
Carriage company made carriages
which were sold in ail parts of the
United States. In 1893 the Joseph
'V. Moon Buggy company was or
ganized at St. Louis to take over the
business of the Moon Brothers Car
riage company. Joseph W. Moon,
who had been president of the older
Us r^mpany for some 2d years, became
the presiding head of the new ven
ture. Fourteen years later, in 1907,
the Moon Motor Car company cams
into being. Mr. Joseph \V. Moon ra
mained at the head until his death In
1919.
"During this time,” say* Mr.
Changstroni, “their growth has been
steady rather than sporadic. They
have placed over 50,000 of the new
' six-cylinder models on the streets in
a comparatively short time. Moon
is one of the very few companies
whose production in 1924 exceeded
that of 1923. The beginning of 1925
indicates a proportional increase.'1

Just how thoroughly Rev. R. R. Brown, radio pastor of station WOAW, is appreciated by his Sunday morn

admiration and affection.
And now as a grand climax to these individual gif ts a concerted token of appreciation from SO,000 of his

Big Shortage in
Hudson-Essex
—
Spring Buxines* Ha* Starlet!,
\V ith (»«od Prospects in
View.
"On* of the big motor car manu
! facturers predict* a spring shortage
of motor rare. There Is nnvr a short
age." said H. H. Davisson of the
| Omaha Hudson Essex company.
"Spring has come on us suddenly.
In the last few days the masa of or
ders which people have been putting
off has descended on us. The regis
tration of care will amply bear out
this statement. All the uncertainties
about motor taxes and registrations
are now past, and the spring rush ia
on. Motorists who want prompt de
liveries should take notice.
“There are various causes of motor
car shortages. One of the ways to
bring about a shortage is to shut
down the factories and let the de
mand pile up. Some concerns have
done that.
"Probably the busiest spot In De
troit right now la the hlg Hudson
Essex plant, with many of Its de
partments running two shifts a day
and still others three shifts. This
night-and-day activity follow* a win
ter program of the largest business
the plant has ever known. There Is
a shortage of Hudson and Essex cars
simply because the most energetic
efforts have not succeeded In making
as many as the public wanted
"It is general all around usefulness
which the public demands in motor
ears today. Nothing freakish is de
sired in body or chassis. The public
asks for reliable transportation at the
right standard of prices. When mo
torists are offered this combination
they can be depended upon to buy.
Month after month. It is this type
of buying which has kept Hudson
Essex in a position of uninterrupted
sales leadership and public demand.

Steel Bodies Give i
Overland Drivers j
Greater Securitvi
_ •'
Later Body Types Make Pos
sible (ireater Vision,
Strength. Endurance
and Economy.
Addition of the new *11 steel
edan, recently announced by Wlllys
dverland, gives this company a com
pete line of all-steel bodies on the
'our-cvllnder Overland chassle. Tour
ng car. coupe and sedan are now
milt entirely of eteel, without
.vootlen framework or Joints In their
nake-up.
This new development Is the re
mit of scientific and metallurgical
experiments In the use of steel In
rhe construction of motor car bodies
in which Wlllys-Overland, the Bud
Manufacturing company of Phila
delphia, and the steel Industry have
collaborated In an effort to Improve
on the conventional designs.
Today, engineers admit that the
all steel design Is th* nearest ap
proach to perfection In a motor car
body because of Its greater strength,
safety, endurance, proof against fire,
economy and beauty.
The all steel construction on closed
cars permits use of smaller posts of
steel between the doors and at the
windshield corners. This minimizes
traffic hazards and Insures to the
driver a better vision, besides adding
to the graceful appearance of the
car. It also gives the body greater
rigidity, lessons body vibration and
elimlnat“s the squeaks and rattles re
sulting from mortised wood Joints.
Steel being Impervious to fire, na
turally this new construction reduces
hazards from this danger. Its
greater strength Is also an added
safety factor against collision shocks
that would destroy coachwork of
wood and steel. The lighter weight
of the new design as compared to the
composite body types also renders
possible greater economies In gaso
line and tires.
CITY’S CADILLACS

lire department attract wide attention
in making their dally runs and their
attractive finish ss well as thelt
quietness and smoothnsss of operation
cause no little comment by onlookers
The police touring cars are always
a source of attention when making
calls and people awe at the confidence
their drivers take In handling these
car* under some unbelievable condi

partment oars, of course, huve the
Cadillac four-wheel brakes. The driv
