AUTO TERMS ARE GIVEN
IN A NEW DICTIONARY
A dictionary of automobile terms has
been written to meet the demand for a
work giving concise, accurate definitions
of the hundreds of technical terms that
are constantly used In automobile discus
sion' and dealings. Many of these ter.ns
are of very recent origin, and even men
In the trade have only a hazy Idea as to
their preclso meaning. Mr. Clough of tho
Horseless Ago has collected nil special
terms of i,hls kind which he could find
In books on automobiles, catalogues and
other literature, arranged them alphabet
ically and defined each in simple, 'easily
comprehended language. Every term rep
resenting some part, accessory or special
method of construction Is Illustrated. In
view of the annoyance caused by un
familiarity with technical terms and
phrases, In ordering parts, explaining re
pairs required or In general conversa
tion on automobile tdplcs, there Is no
doubt that this little volume will serve
a useful purpose In the hands of both tlio
private motorist and the mail In the
trade. It defines over 2,000 .terms and
contains ZGi Illustrations.

No-Rim-Cut Tires
10 Oversize
No Petty Saving
,.
No petty savings have made Goodyear
tires outsell every other.
Rim-cut ruin, which we save wrecks 23
per cent of all old-type tires
10 per cent oversize, under average con
ditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage.
And those are but part of the savings.
i
Remember This
A few years ago, three other
tires combined outsold the
Goodyears by 70 times over.
From thati point Goodyears
have quickly jumped to the top
most place in Tiredom.
And last year's sales by far
exceeded our previous 12'years
put together!
This has been done in this
day of j odometers, when men
keep track of tire mileage.
And today's position comes
when men have used two nril
liqn Goodyear tires.
Can't you see that No-Rim-Cut
tires, in some way, must
give amazing mileage?
