"BY HIS WORKS" Half-Sole and Patriotism One of the patriotic duties a car-owner can perform in these trying times is the conservation of the tires on his car. Rubber and fabric the foun dation and capstone of tire man ufacture. .are playing mighty important parts in the prosec ution of the war, in which we are all interested so vitally. . . ..In order to secure this rubber and fabric, ships are required; and ecry available ship is being used in the transportation of men and supplies to French soil. ..Of a necessity then, the im portation of rubber must be ucr tailed, and such curtailment has caused the Government to re quest two things first, a reduc tion' in the number of sizes by the manufacturer; second, a most careful conservation of tires on the part of the car-owner. The Gates Half-Sole contain es only about half the amount of fabric and rubber that a tire of corresponding size contains, although making a brand-new, btionger than ever tire of the tread-worn casing to which it is applied. So a Gates Half-Sole Tire in having 50 per cent of the fabric and i ubber, releases that am ount for Government purposes. It costs but one-half as much as a new tire, eliminates the ex pense of repairing punctures and will give from 3,500 to 10, 000 more miles of service. In money and material the Gates Half-Sole is performing its full share towards conserva tion. A Half-Sole on a car is a badge of honor visible evidence that its owner is helping the Government by saving in every possible way. el salient.
