ban work, making collections at inter.
mediate points outside the city limits. The

penses of operation have been cut in half.

side curtains. They are used in all kinds 1
of weather. The rear portion of the car
Is utilised for carrying mall sacks, and an
extra step has been added to aid the col
lector or carrier in loading and unloading

DREN.
Full of Indignation against such parents
as delight to produce their young ones
early Into the talking world, Samuel John
son gave a good deal of pain by refusing
to hear the verses the children could re
cite, or the songs they could sing. One
friend told him that his two sons should
repeat Gray's Elegy to him alternately,
that he might judge who had the happiest
cadence. ,
. "No, pray, sir," Bald he, "let the dears
both speak at once."

Automobile manufacturers of Indiana
are arrranglng for one of the most unique
and interesting trade trips ever proposed
for motorists. Four of the prosperous mid
dle west states are to be upon the route
of a conteat of a non-competitive nature
which has been given the hearty approba
tion of the forty-three concerns building
motor cars in the Hoosler commonwealth,
and active plans are now under way for
the event. The state la third in quantity
production of automobiles and it is the in
tention of the makers to show that it is
not surpassed in quality and reliability,
and they have decided to institute a trade
boosting trip with a small feature of a
contest just to enliven matters. The In
dianapolis Trade association has given its
support to the matter and from present
indications in the matter of actual entries
and promised participation it is probable
that the Indiana Four-State tour will have
the greatest number of ear "of any vnt
held during the 1911 season.
"HI mile an hour, or t07 feet a second,
faster than a jman would fall from the
top of tbe Singer building that was the
marvelous speed attained by Robert Bur
man in the ' big Bens at Daytona In the
recent record trial," is the rather startling
statement made by Mr. Fred E. Moskovlcs,
sales manager of the Remjr Electrle com
pany. "Burman traveled at the rate of
better than two hundred and seven feet
per second in his world's record mile
sprint This is the fastest pace that a
human being ever traveled. , It Is faster
than a man would be going at ths tlih
he struck tbe ground In tall from the
Singer Tower. It also proves that unless
a man would be scared to death by such
a fall that there is no reason for him to
be dead or unconscious before he reached
the ground." .
The MeUger Motor Car company manufac
turers of the Everitt "30," have just se

employed In the office of the H. E. Fred
rlckson Auto company the off totals of the
Chalmers factories have asked for the de
tails of the management that they may be

Runabout
650,000 No-Rim-Cut Tire
And Each Displaced a Clincher
It's so simple anyone can drive it.
It's so dependable no mechanical
knowledge is necessary to handle it.
It's so economical anyone can af
ford to own and operate it.
That's why it's called Everyman's
Car.
Let us show you why hundreds are
using it to advantage both for busi
ness and pleasure.
That's ths record to date. And every
day we add to this output 2,200 tires.
The demand has grown to an ava
lanche. Our mammoth plants, with
three shitts ot men, are run 24 hours
per day.
The Goodyear No-Rim -Cut, with
amazing quickness, has become tbe
leading tire in America.
All because these patented tires or
tens of thousands have cut tire bills
in two.
Which Tire?
The ordinary tire the clincher tire
rim-cuts if ma flat. A punctured tire
may be wrecked in a single block.
s. The Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire has
been run flat in a hundred tests as far
as 20 miles. Of all the 650,000 sold,
sot one has ever rlm-cut.
These tires are now sold at the
same price as standard clincher tires.
They fit the same rims.
Which tire will you
take?
10 Oversize
No-Rim-Cut tires
because they are
hook less can be
Goodyear
No-Rim-Cut Tires
With or Without Non-Skid Tread
oversizo without any misfit on the rim.
And we do it.
That means 10 percent more air 10
percent added carrying capacity with
out any extra cost. Ana that, with the
average car, adds 25 per cent to the tire
mileage.
Thut oversize takes care of the extras
the top, glass front, etc. It avoids
the blow-outs due to overloading.
Without it, nine tires in ten are given
too much load.
These two features together No-Rim-Cut
and oversize under average
conditions, cut tire bills in two. Yet
these patented tires now cost no more
than tires that rim-cut, tires just rated
size.
Which Is your choice?
The demand for No -Rim -Cuts is
larger than ever before came to any one
tire. It has multiplied six times over in
the past two years. It is growing faster

Tsn years ago tbe automobile was the
subject of sneers and der.slon," says Henry
M. Lcland, advisory manaa-er of the Cadil
lac Motor Car oompany of Detroit. "To
day It ranks aa one ot the fastest methods
of transportation or travel. The rapidity
. Of the growth of the Industry has sur
passed that of any other business In th
world's history. Today ths automobile has
ceased to be the rich man's hobby It Is
tbe world's necessity."
The Mlchelln "Twins" two Broodtnglan
manikins, twisted and disported themselves
before wondering crowds In tbe show win
dows of the Nebraska-Bulck oompany on
Friday evening and Satwday ot the week
past. While an advertising feature feolely
for the Mlchelln Tire company, the "twins'1
are so out of the ordinary that their ap
pearance In the large cities of the country
has been the occasion o( numerou press
notices.
The figures, which are about twelve fret
tall, are made of rubberised silk and are
seated In roammoth seats on an Improvised
platform In the window of the automobile
eompany. Underneath the platform are ar
- ranged elect Ho air pumps which keep the
manikins Inflated. By means of cords and
partial drfluthm of the figures they as
sume some very grotesque positions and
keep the tpectators roaring with laughter.
Tbe manikins were first shown la Paris,
the home of the Mechelln company. Later
they were Sant for exhibition purposes to
several of the capltala of Europe and fin
ally to this country. The figures are repli
cas of the familiar effigies seen in the ad
vertisements of the company, apparently
made of , rubber tires of different Uses.

factory last June.
I
I promised to
write you in resard to my overland trio to Colorado. When
I arrived at Colorado springs, j immediately got Dusy
haullnc tourists to the different oolnts of interest In
tbe Pike's Peak region. They kept me busy day and night;
this, in fact, being the only day I have not been busy.
Outside of a puncture at Kocky Ford. Colorado, I made
tho trip without a mUhap. I never stopped for anything
but food and water except at Lyons, kanaaa. where 1
pulled a five paasenger out of the sand They
could not move either way. They had a rope with them
which I guess all and some other cars carry o
some one can pull them out when they get stuck. I nave
never yet Deen siuck witn my car ana aon i expect 10 do.
The power my car has In hill and grade climbing sur.
prlei the people out here. There is one hill out here
known as tbe Jonea hill that only one or two cars la this
vicinity can make on high sear, and mine Is one of them.
I often have seven passengers in my oar besides myself,
and I go up tho hills and down the grade without any
trouble-
I ant sending you soma poet cards of some of the
i
roads and places I go with my car. I go to Denver and
Pueblo, nearly every week with passengers. Every one
wants to ride in my car because It rides u easy. It Is na
trouble for me to get a bunoh of ladles for a Joy ride, which
1 do quite often. The tourist season Is over now, but I have
all I can do hauling people that live here. I have never
had any work done on the engine and have never had all
tbe spark plugs out yet; but am going to clean the plugs
and valves if I can get a chance. I have earned half the
price of the car this summer and fall and she la still run
ning a good as ever. 1 am sending you a photo of my
self and a load of Oklahoma people In the Garden of tne
Gods. That Is a hard drive to rnuite, but I have been there
dozens of times
I will say this of the Midland car It beats them all
for the price of two thouaand dollars and under, and some
of the higher priced cars for power and endurance, and
I know I will never want any other.
I have to go to Illinois next May and have decided
to come through in my car, and you can see how It has
stood up.
Hoping to aee you next June, and with best wishes to
the Midland Motor Company, I am.
Yours very truly. C. W. REYNOLDS.
