It is unusual for a concern to make so
important a move without a single
change in its personnel from pr<

be noted in this instance is that the
new name and the new location carry
with them unusual possibilities for
expansion and ? ? rv ce.

Magnet c rar? were buill al th

E. S. Pan ? name the new
company takes, . a i neteen years of

Owen, who is responsible for the
. ment of the >: ven Magm tic, tl e
ear had only just come through its ex?
perimental Btage and was ready to be
offered to the public, This was five
years ajro. ?-.nc-- then Partridge lias
?sold th? Owen Magnetic most success?
fully to the moat discriminating buy?
ers of automobiles in the world ?the
Now York public. Many of the lead
. ing business men and society women
of th? city are owners of Owen Mag?
netics, some of them having as many as
?T?.
The first car turned over to Partridge
, for a demonstration is being used regu?
larly even now in Javn, and alreadj
; has a record of over 100,000 mile? tc
its credit. Afu-r selling an Ower
Magnetic to the King of Spain by cor
! respondents. Partridge ?lapped nine
? teen others to some of the best fam
ili'-s in Spain. Whenever it was posai
ble to obtain shipping licenses durin(
the great wer Owen Magnetics wen
sent to Cuba, South America, Japan
Denmark and other countrie?.
Partridge surrounded himself witl
an organization who*w sales cnorgie
outstripped production, and before ver
long it became evident that if the sale
force was to be held together it woul
be necessary to tak? on an additions
Sine of car?. After a canvass of th
field th? Liberty Six wan selected.
It was mrre? than a coincidence thn
a ?ins of cor? should be taken on thn
din! another Owen?not related at al
1 however, to R. M. Owen?at, its head as
president. R. M. Owen, of the Owen
' Magnetic Company, and Percy Owen,
president of the Liberty Motor Car
Company, stand for the same principles
in motor car construction and mcr
? ?ing. Furthermore, the Liberty
Six seemed to be. the lopical car, he
eau e, besides Percy Owen, those re
? ?? ble ?'or its manufacture were ni in
who had marie their reputations with
? ?? Packard, Timken, Continental and
othei companies.
Sal of both the Owen Magnetic
and Liberty Six since the automob le
?..,? ? ave been phenomenal, and there
i ? ve "v ind ?cat ion thai ; he move -
company to larger quarters will result
"i a further expans on of its business.
This would not have been pos ?ble had
ipany not promptly given up its

A Tire Built of Unbroken Strands of Sturdy Rope?
Tensile Strength 235 Pounds
SOMETHING astonishing
in tires has come, it
came 18 months ago and
it made good
Its name is Carlisle, and it is
made, not of fabric or of the
ordinary cord, but of sturdy
rope. A single strand with?
stands a 235-pound test for
breaking resistance.
This rope is insulated, and by
means of special machines
(exclusive property of the
Carlisle Cord Tire Company)
formed into a tire carcass.
One of the amazing feat?
ures of the Carlisle Tire
is its friction strength.
A pull of 100 pounds is re?
quired to separate the layers
of the rope (against 18 to 30
pounds in the ordinary tire).
Carcass heat is abolished.
Carlisle i ires are cool at 60
miles an hour.
Blowouts, tread separation,
weak carcass, and such tire
troubles are practically un?
known.
Ret?
A
i\e i leaning is advocated,
never discouraged.
"Carlisle Cord Tires from
Ato Z," is a unique book?
let, giving full information,
as the name indicates.
