Of course laigor crowds have attended

Memorial day It Is planned to put the
tickets on sale about January 1, 1912.
This will give about five months for
purchasers to obtain seats and also plenty

The field of starters will be limited
to the thirty fastest cars encered, and
It is expected that this will bring out
the best that every engineer can build,
as the terrific speed necessary to qualify

NEW YORK, Nov. U.-Tha United Cy

This statement I make from personal

almost forced my retirement but now. In
spite of the sixty-two years that Father
Time holds against me, I am enjoying

likewise'. The automobile Is a God-send

Owing to the rcfus.il of the supremo
court of the United rotates to review the
case, the decision of a Pennsylvania court
that a person riding on the front seat be
side tho driver is under a legal obliga
tion to act as a luokout and warn the
driver ot danger, stands as a precedent.
The . court held that the papsengrr on
the rear seat were under no such obliga
tion. The case waa that of Charles U. Hen
derson, who was injured in a collision
between the motor car In which he was
riding and a I'ennsylvanla railroad train,
near Camden, N, J. Henderson, as well
as a woman puesengur, sued the railroad
tor damages, with the result that a Jury
It) Camden decided in favor vt the woman
but against the man.
It was brought out In the trial that
Henderson had bwn silting In the front
seat alongsldo of the chauffeur and that
he had as much opportunity to seo the
approaching train as the chauffeur. Ills
failure to worn the latter in time miti
gated egainst him In tho opinion of the
court nd the Jury. The woman, who
occupied a rear sent In the same car, was
under no such obligation or duty and was
warded thq damages asked., ilenditeon
"There fyoen the .lipsf
car built in America"
How often you hear that expres
sion among- men who really knout
motor cars.
Time was when, If you asked
three or four automobile men to
name tho highest class American
car, you would have received as
many different replies.
Today if you ask this question of
three or four well-informed men,
probably two, and possibly three,
will answer, "Lozier." Everywhere
you find this striking unanimity
in assigning Lozier first place.
Talk With Men Who Know
The man who knows Is the man
who has owned several cars the
man who puts hi car to the severest
touring uses. He is the' man who
tours far from the beaten track;
who takes his car through unfre
quented parts ,of Europe; whose
annual mileage runs into thou
sands; who demands ceaseless, un
failing service.
These are men who know, and
they recognize Lozier supremacy.
You also hear Lozier termed
"The best car in America" by men
in the trade dealers, engineers,
salesmen for other cars, managers
of garages, officers of tire and acces
sory concerns.
The opinion of such men is the
strongest endorsement; worth mere
than the experience of a man who)
has owned but one or two cars.
. Never Marketed a Mistake)
Most of the designers of medium
Ericed cars, if asked to pick out tho
est American car, would unhesi
tatingly name the Lozier. Its worth
has been proven by its consistent
terformances and by the fact that
ozicr has never marketed a me
chanical mistake. .
They know that Lozier led in
America in using improved features
now recognized as standard such
as fore-doors, 36' wheels, ball bear
ings, long wheel base, four-speed
transmission, multiple dine clutch,
Bosch magneto, double ignition, etc
First Place Won by Merit , . ,
Lozier's enviable position was not
won by any sudden jump into
popularity." It was rather the re
sult of causes slowly- working to
ward this end f$r years.
Cut gradually Us . repeated suc
cesses in the greatest contests, .and'
(its unfailing satisfaction in owner'
hands rhave established its reputa
tion as America's highest-class ear
Today wherever you find people of wealth

Tire Users Saved
$14,000,000
This is an estimate we can't know exactly.
But we do know that 23 per cent of all ruined clincher
tires have been rim-cut. That ruin is impossible with
Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires.
And No-Rim-Cut tires are 109 oversize, That means
10 more air 10 added carrying capacity. That, with
the averaze car, adds 25 to the tire mileage.
Theae two features together No-Rim-Cut and oversize
under averagexionditions, doubtless Bave users $20 per
lire. And 700,000 have been sold to date.
If our estimate is rieht, this patented tire has saved
motor car owners $14,000,000. And the 6avin$r is growing
at au enormous rate. For No-Rim-Cut tires now outsell
any other type of tire.

Now a Double -Thick Non-Skid
Now we add to these tires, when,
wanted, a double thick Non

Not a fllmsv protection not
short-lived projections on a regru.
lur tread. We worked three years
to creata a perfect Non-Skid.
This ii an extra tread, about as
thick as our regular, vulcanized
onto our regular tread. It Is made
of very tough rubber, immensely
wsar-reslsting.
This double thickness permits
these deep-cut blocks, so the non
Kkid feature lasts.
The blocks grasp the road sur
face with counties edges and
angles the niost eflicient device
known against skidding.
Kadi block widens out at the
base, so the strain is distributed
over just as much surface as with
smooth-tread tires.
"his double-thick tread lessens
danger of puncture about 30.

Note all these advantages
these vital advantages over
Other non-skid tires.
Tho need for ruinous chains is
now ended forever. Skidding is
avoided. In wet and wintry
weather every automobile should

Come and See

No-Rim-Cut tires has increased
by 500. These patented tires
are now in larger detound than
any other tire on tha market.
Over 700,000 have been sold to
