dent of the Wllys-Oyerland company, In
a recent discussion. "I have lately had

the keonest financial men In the oountry,
In which- the automobile was fflyen. due
credit for the good It has accomplished.,
Mr. Erb declared that 13,000,000,000 was ft
conservative estimate of the. increased
value of farm, lands, due directly to the
automobllo.
"A few years ajfo farm lands which
were located near the railroads were
worth about $75 an acre, where the land
twenty, miles back could hardly behold
at HO -an acre. With the Introduction Of
the automobile, however, th latter" land
was brought within a few" minutes 'run
of tho railroads and Its value has. In
creased tremendously because" of -this'
fact. 'The farmer who owns an nutt
motile, and lives twenty miles from a
shipping point la today a close to the
markets of the world aa Is the man
whoso land Is within three or four miles
pf the railroad. Tho automobile will
make the' run to the shipping point In
less time than horses take to cover three
r four miles.
"Besides eliminating distance as It has,
tho automobile has worked another tre
mendous Influence for good in the agri
cultural, districts of the country by de
manding g6od roads. ''It Is "universally
acknowledged that good highways mean
Increased prosperity for the farmer, and
Wherever automobiles are owned there
will good roads be found as soon as they
tan be built. Many short-sighted people
have' claimed that the purchase of an
automobile by a farmer Is an extrava
gance. I maintain that It Is one of the
most foreslghted economics ho ever In
troduced, and I think the majority of the
successful farmers of tho United States
Will 'agreo with me."
GOODYEAR ANNOUNCES A
NEW TIRE FOR ELECTRICS
"A new electrio tire, called 'the Gool
f ear, Power Savor Preumatlo tire, Is to
be Ctoodyear's contribution to the ejeoi
trio jyehlcle industry for 1911" announces
X & Roclchlll, manager of the auto
mobile tire department of the Goodyear
Tlre'.and Rubber company, Akron, O.,
iwhoj-has Just returned to Akran after
an 'extensive tour of theTaolflo eoasi.
Investigating the automobile conditions
of the country.
Thk is why hrnidreds ef thevwuicV ef
Goodyear Na-Rka-Cut &m.
The-clincher tirethe hooked-base tire -will
rim-cut. You must, with that type, turn
your rim fiances Inward. And those thin
curvcd-ln edges cut the tire when wholly or
partly deflated.
Statistics show that 31.8 per cent of all
ruined clincher. tire3 aro discarded fpr.rim
cuttinp; only. And these statistic were gath-.
ered by certified publjc.accquntants. .
All This Ruin Saved
No-Rim-Cut tires can't rim-cut. That wo
guarantee, You set your rim flanges so they ,
curve outward when you use, this tire. A-de ,
flated tire then rests, on abounded ;edgef
In a tire of this sort the tire base must,be
made unstretchable. . .Six .flat bands of 126
braided wires are vulcanised into our ! tire
base. 4 ' . ' ' '
We control these bands-. They are, made
in secret under lock and key. And, without '
these bands, one cannot make a satisfactory
tire of this type. Single wires or twisted
wires won't do.
Control of this feature gave to Goodyear
rulershipof liredom.
Blow-Outs Saved
No-Rim-Cut tires get
the "On-Air Cure."
That is, they are final
cured on air bags shaped
like inner tubes. Cured
under road conditions.

Along the '
Automobile Eow
Many different methods of advertising
automobiles have been devised by Inven
tive minds, but the Packard company
came Into a batch of free publicity last
week by a mere chance and every auto
mobile dealer along the row had -some
comment to make. One-halt of tho row
said the advertising waa objectlbnablo
and the other half said It was blind luck.
In the inteilm, Local Manager Orr Is not
saying1 a word. The advertising came aa
a result of Harry Thaws notorious -

of his Journey to Canada In a Packard
car. Not saUsfled with that, the gentle
man Who owns the machine Is reported
as taking Into consideration offers of
vaudeville agents for exhibition of the
car. If the car Is exhibited tho Packard
company will got its share of the pub
licity, no matter whether the car per
forms any tricks or not.

It was shipped Wednesday, but arrived
too late for exhibition at the State fair.
The Traynor company, which is the agent

buyer demanded Instant delivery. Bur

belling the demonstrator. Several car

We do this so the fabric' won't be left
wrinkled. So every part of the fabric assumes
its full share of strain. . i
All other tires are vulcanized on iron cores
alone. The fierce compression often wrinkles
the fabric and that wrinkled fabric escapes the
strain. That causes thousands of blow-outs.
This "On-Air Cure" adds to our cost
$1,500. daily. It is so costly that no other
maker employs it. '
Tread Separation
Loose treads have cost 'tire users millions
of dollars. A breaker strip, in all well-made
tires, comes at the base of the tread. It is
near this strip that separation comes.
This breaker sfrip in Nb-Rim-Cut tires baa
hundreds of holes in if, made by a special
weave: Tie . tread, rubber is forced down
through these: holes, 'forming hundreds of
.large rubber rivets, 'Then tho tire Is vul
canized en 'masse.
We paid $50,000 for thk patented way
to prevent tread separation.
Please consider these savings.
Rim-cutting completely avoided.
Blow-outs and loose treads caved.

USES CADILLAC CAR
AS OFFICE AND HOME
E. M. Pierce, a New Tork lumberman
whose prediction is for automobile globe
trotting, and whose private office Is tho
tonneau of his Cadillac, has started
again on a tour through the White
mountains, Canada. Miohtgan, Indiana
and Ohio in the same car which, since
February. Mil, he has driven S7.0W miles.
After this strenuous excursion, Mr.
Pierce, accompanied by Mrs. Pierce and
a companion, will hit the transcontinental
trail In September for southern Cali
fornia, where they will spend the winter.
The big mileage piled up to date Is
due to a remarkable trip lost season
which consisted of a tour all the way
around the United States In the same
oar. Mr. Pierce claims a unlqulo' record
on his ride from New Tork to the Pactflo
coast, whloh he says was negotiated
without a single mechanical adjustment
On this summer's trip the Pierce party
will retrace part of last season's route,
especially In the northwest -and southern
California. For pure touring enjoyment,
Mr. Pierce declares America without a
rival.
L0ZIER ANNOUNCES NEW
MODEL FOR 1914 OUTPUT
Probably tho'most Important develop
ment of the week In the automobile In
dustry, was the announcement made to
dealers on Tuesday by the I!er Motor
company of a new four-cylinder Losltr
for 1314 production.
The car is In the popular-priced field
anf-wlll sell at 12.100. The action of the
Lozler5 company In again bringing out a
four-cylinder car after having built sixes
exclusively for the last two years Is
cauatng wide comment In trade circles.
The new Xxsler four resembles In 6
marked degree, the popular Lorler light
six model brought out last season, but
has many new features which are dis
tinctive on the new car. The stream
like body design first Introduced on the
light six Is Incorporated In the new four.
In addition the new car wilt have
crowned fenders In the style of the latest
European design'.

All done by methods
which we alone employ.
Yet these tires, because
of our mammoth output,
now cost you no extra

they outsell any other
tire?

at a time In Europe, absorbing tho bret
offerings of the foreign engineers. In the
spring of 1910 tho Idea had been de
veloped to tho stage where It was re
garded as worthy to bear tho Packard
seal. Day ami night n devoted army
tolled to bring tho Packard "six" Info
shapo. In six months from tho time
that t actually entered tho shops the
Idea grew Into a car, a majestic, pow
erful model of wonderful capabilities. H
surprised the men behind It. It did what
they had carefully calculated It should
do, and went beyond tholr hopes.
They found a spot on Iong Island
that was surflcltntly Isolated for a test'
log camp, although but fifteen mlUs
from New York. Tho place was called
the "Bumblo Uee's Nest," because It was
la the midst of a thick .brush, hidden
completely from the main lino of travel.
The "Humblo UWs Nest" was tho scent
of exhaustive effort In the, determination
to show up any weak spots In tho .new
motor.
v , 9tado Many Ttw.
Engineers taxed their Ingenufty to do-'
vise racking shop tests. A motor was
attached to a frame and run at a torrltlc
speed under a heavy load for 200 hours
.without cessation.
And tho shop tests were but pre
liminary to the pressure that was put
upon tho completed car. Ths motor be
fore it was reproduced for the market
did 100,000 miles of work on the road.
This Is almost half the distance to the
moon, but It menns merely that this test,
like all the others, was extreme.
A testing camp was established In
Waynesboro, Da. January 1, 1911. and
a .double crew of experimental room vet
erans started la to "tako It out and

night, over the worst roads In Georgia
and over some of the best, at all speeds
