of road, about 100 yards In length, which
was under water. He attempted to drive
through, but w.ien he bad gone about
half way he found th water deeper than
he had anticipated. It was so deep, la
fact, that th carburstor was submerged

Question of Color
For Painting Autos
Long-Been Problem
Plnc the earliest days th question of
color haa been a problem for automobile
ma n uf act iiver.
Tha automobile aa a manufacturing In
dustry in this country Is now about ten
years old. paring that time automobile
have been painted every conceivable color
and tbeee colors have been put In every
conceivable oombinaUoo. In the early days
cara wera painted entirely black, but as
time went by this was rather too sobr
for tha public generally and therefore,
numerous rotors w re tv-P'oyed.
About 1903 a great many cars were
produced painted entirely red. Tills
proved to be rather too "notsy" for the
majority of buyers and then blue, yellow,
gray, brown and numerous other colors
were tried, all of which have been found
less durable than red or black. Today
the public generally has come to consider
an automoblla as in Us natural garb when
It has at least a portion of Its surface
covered with red The public haa ceased
to consider red a "loud" color on an
automobile. Red and black are vastly
superior to any ether color which could
be used, not only in tha satisfaction given
to the owner after the rar ha bei-n pur
chased, but they are also much easier
colors to handle lu the paint (-hop and
first class jobs can be turned out and
with less thbor expen;). although red
as a color cost more than any other.

Modern Auto Parts
Made to Conform to
Their Components
In tha early days of the motor car In
dustry many factories were merely a
rembling plants. Motors, axles, trans
missions, bodies, topa. windshields, wheels
and almost every other parts of the cars
were purchased from part makers and
merely put together by the company
which gave Its name to the finished car.
The great contrast between the car of
that day and the 1913 Peerless, for ex
ample. Is due largely to the fact that al
though the parts In themselves In many
cases were excellent they had the serious
weakness of having been designed aa sep
arate parts without reference to the unity
of tha car In which they were finally
to be used.
In the highest type of modern car every
Item la plannled with reference to the
other parts of the car aa tha whole.
Tha aise and strength of every part la
In soma measure determined by tha
weight and stse of other parts, and the
exterior appearance of each unit la so
planned that Its lines and colorings may
fit into the whole. To attain that re
sult It haa been necessary that more and
mora parts should be made In the maker's
own factory.

Used on 200,000 Cars
This new-type tire the sensation of Tiredom i
now far outsells every other tire.
Over one million have been tested out, on some
200,000 cars.
Some 200,000 separate users have proved them
the most economical tire.
The present demand which results from these
tests is three times larger than one year ago.
The 13 -Year Tire
No-Rim-Cut tires are the final
result of 13 years spent in tire
making.
In formula and fabric, in ma
terials and making, they repre- ,
sent the ultimate in tires.
In our opinion Cased on 13
years' experience tires can never
M built much better.
The Patent Tire
These tires are made so they
can't rim-cut. The method of
making is controlled by the
Goodyear patents.
Other devices for making
tires of this type have proved
unsatisfactory. That is why
this flood-like demand for tires
that can't rim-cut centers on
Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires.
These tires are alto made 10
per cent over
th rated site.
This Is don
to give an over
tird car. It
means 10 per
cent more air
10 per cent add
ed carrying capacity.
This saves the blow-outs due
to overloading.
Save 48 Per Cent
Statistics show that 23 per
cent of ruined old-type tires are
rim-cut. This patent tire saves
that 23 per cent
Experience shows that 10 per
ctnt oversize,' under average
conditions, adds 25 per cant to
the tire mileage.
These two features together
mean an average saving of 48
per cent
Yet No-Rim-Cot tires sow coat
no mora than other standard tires.
They used to cost one-fifth ex
tra. That's why 200,000 users have
come to Goodyear tires.
