AUTOMOBILES. -_I AUTOMOBILES. No-Rim-Cut Tires Proved Actual Oversize, 16.7% Goodyear No?Rim-Cut tires arc advertised as 10 per cent oversize. And we claim that this oversize?this over-tiring?adds 25 per cent to the tire mihagc. Lately we made a comparison with many clincher tires of five other leading makes. We compared them by air capacity?not hy calipers. It is air that carries the load. And we found that our average oversize was 16.7 per cent?much larger than wo claim. Yet these oversize tires?these tires which can't rim-cut ?cost no more than other standard tire?. Last Year's Sales, 409,000 Tires The sucre?? of Ih???? tir? is the s-n&ation of Tiredorn. Last year'? sa 1rs exceeded the previous 12 years put together. We sold enough last year to com? pletely equip 102,000 car?. For this year, 127 leading motor car makers have contracted for Goodyear tire?. Flease consider that. No-Rim-Cut tires, after 800,000 hue been tested out, now far out? sell any other tire that? made. The Reason The reason is simply that No Rim-Cut tires cut tire bills in two. And tens of thousands have proved it They make rim-cutting impossi? ble. And 25 per cent of sll ruined clincher tires are rim cut. These patented tires completely avoid all this worry snd expense to the tire mileage. It saves th? blow-outs due to overloading. These two features together?-No Rim-Cut and oversize?save million? of dollars l o motor car owners. After 13 Yean After 13 years spent in tire nuk? ing thue are the best tire? we can build. No fabric or formula, no method or proc?s?, can ever build better tira, in all probability. These tires are made in our pat? ented typ?^ so rim-cutting is for? ever avoided. They are made oversize to givs extra ?capacity. They represent finality In tir-?. And you get them, when you insist on them, at the cost cf the ordi? nary. Don't you think it pays? Then the oversize. Even 10 per cent oversize, under .erage conditions, adds 25 per cent Our MW Tire Book i? fihVd with fsets you should know. A?k us to msil it to you. 1 ?--???j??-?--????-??--???-??

No better exposition of the obligation? ln-?tirr?*i In tlie sale of a- n-.otor truck, or, for that matter, of any motor propelled ? ehlcle, has been given than that advance?! by Charles Philip Ootanan, president of the International Motor Company, tn an ad? dress to the concern's head? of depart? ment? at a luneheon he!?i at the CafA Murtin last Thursday. The company i? the larg? est in America engaged exclusively In the motor truck business. "The motor track business 1s so new in Its development that WS are lik" mission* arle? carrying a gospel new to the people we are trying to tea? h and interest,'' said Mr. Coleman. "True, the business ii n-?'.v, and none of us, even t!use who have b?sen In it from the start, know all of Its possi? bilities. It is like the electrical buslnes?

Our business Is growing, and the number of ag.?nc-les and btuachca iS increasing. With this growth the necessity of a consistent policy, particularly aa regard? the chara**-* tT of tlie sales fores, ths matntananc*) ot | prices and the <>uality of service rendered become? very important. ??The character of .service t'> which the several designs are b"st adapted and the proper **?>' to ?tudy and report on the cus? tomers' nerds ar. of -. ital importance.

Flanders "20" Delivery Car A Studebaker Body on the Famous Flanders "20" Chassis Price $800-f. o. b. Detroit A RE you one of the merchante who have concluded that the day of the delivery #\ car is here? Have you been convinced that to the enterprising dealer horse atfY delivery Is a thing of the peat? We hope so. The deeper you go into the problem, the more clearly you will see it. Prestige and lowered costs have had their say and they are what count. Efficiency ?that's the story. Whether you are a small dealer or large, the question is coming right up to you. Which shall it be?Horse or Automobile? Have you realized that on the face of it the case is all in favor of the automobile, not the horse? A car is faster, stronger and tireless. Settle the cost question, and there is no argument. Wo want you to consider this; you must consider it, for your competitor surely will. This isn't our belief alone. You merchants have told us the same story many times. "But," said you, "where is the car we want? One car is cheap in price and quality. It has only two speeds; repair bills are too high. .Another is better but costs more and is no larger. We need a delivery car. But where is the right car?'9 The Flanders "20" is Ready Today you have your answer. The Flanders "20" is the car. In it are combined handsome appearance, economy and Al service at a fair price. The Flanders "20" is everything a delivery car ought to be. You need it. And when you buy it, you are going to be immensely satisfied. The unique distinction of this car is that in it are combined the brains of two great divisions of the Studebaker Corporation. The body is the product of the great South Bend works where the best delivery bodies in the world nave been made for years. "Studebaker" means the best and the whole world knows it. The chassis is the famous Flanders "20." Put it to the test and it will stand up. The automobile man does not live today who does not know that the Flanders "20" is one of the best buys in the market. That's a great, combination! A Studebaker body, a Studebaker-Flanders chassis' Where else will you find such skill built into a delivery car? Appearance and Power of Flanders "20" When the South Bend experts designed the body they made it strong, simple, spacious. They discarded the ugly "camel back" effect of competing cars. What use was that? They built a car of straight lines and obtained at once ample room and the best looks on the street. Then they finished the body with all the skill which the name Studebaker implies. A rich, deep green, with cream panel, finished like a coach. No wonder it is a good car. The merchant who owns one can be certain hie customers know he has the handsomest car out. Then for power there is the famous Flanders "20" chassis. A stock Flanders "20" Touring Car?the same chassis -took up more than 1000 lbs. load last autumn and drove 1200 miles from Seattle, Wash., to Hazelton, B. C. The oldest settlers said it couldn't be done. No automobile, no wheeled vehicle had ever made the trip. For hundreds of miles the route lay over the merest apologies for roads and for a Idnf distance not even a horse had ever been before. The car pulled through bogs, morasses made worse by heavy rains, overcame the roughest forest trails and finally won. For many miles of the worst going the breaking of a single part must have meant failure of the trip. Yet that car pulled over 900 miles on low gear, carried its enormous load and proved once for all that in stamina and ?sheer bull-dog courage the Flanders "20" hasn't a superior at any price. The Car's Record We have lived with this Flanders "20" since the day it was put on the market and people said the car couldn't be what we claimed and yet sold for $800. Today our owners not only believe in the car; they know it through and through, and they "boost,," it. Go from Maine to California and ask anyone of them. Then try any country on the globe. For during November practically 37% of all U. S. foreign automobile exports and 50% of all American cars exported to Australia and the British Isles were Studebaker cars. The car's record is an open book. It is powerful, economical and trustworthy. In addition, the Delivery body can be removed ?and the Touring Car body put in its place in a few minutes. They are interchangeable. Remember this. We believe you are going to buy a delivery car and we know the Flanders ? ?0" is the one big value. It is a Studebaker product. It is worth your money. Price, $800. Questions of maintenance cost?-every little item?will interest you. These, to? gether with our full guarantee and honest study of your peculiar problems, we will be glad to go over with you in detail. Our first run on the cars is ?iraited and for prompt delivery we advise quick action. Ready Feb. 1st.
