} tonished motorists of the Pacific coast SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922. [oMUGH LOWER Interesting Comment on De- velopment of Tire Making in United States. “Motorists today take their tire serv- ice and mileage for granted,” says a ‘veteran Goodrich representative who bas seen the growth of the tire indus- try from its inception. “They have become so accustomed to getting eight, ten, twelve and even fifteen thousand miles or more from their tires that they do not appreciate what science land inventive them. ; “In the early days of the pneumatic tires, as any old time motorist will tell you, every. tire was a gamble. If a| aman got five hundred miles irom a} tire without having trouble he w..s sur- Y d. He really expected tire crou- ble with every mile he drove, and when a motorist started out to drive bis oar he wondered if the tires )woulfl hold out till he got to the next corner. “Tire manufacturers naturally set | heir minds to the problem at once, and the Goodrich organization, being Pioneer in the industry quickly pro- duced many improvements in both ma- terials and methods of manufacture— Pall making for longer mileage and better tires. “One of the greatest steps in ad. vance on the part of Goodrich was the production of the Silvertown Cord tire. ‘Thin tire caused « revolution not only in the tire. business but also in motor- ing. It established a new and higher quality standard and it gave the user 80 many more miles that it was in stantly recognized as a genuine econ- omy, Today the Silvertown has reach- ed its final perfection, and is regard- ed as the standard of comparison. “Both in cord and fabric tires Good | cost, and today the man who buys a tire never thinks of asking the dealer rich has responded to the mctorist’s demand for lorger mileage at a lower for a guarantee as to mileage. knows he will get many hundreds and even thousands more miles than any guarantee could promise, and that in addition he will receive the service which Goodrich developed years ago and which has becomé an integral part of the operation of every Goodrich * dealer's store.” genius have done for] » ——__—_ WILLS SAINTE CLAIRE, MAKES UNUSUAL RECORD ON CALIFORNIA ROADS ‘The run out of Santa Ana, Cal., up the Big Bear velley to Bear Lake, which rests 8,500 feet above the city, is just the kind of adventure to give an automobile the test of its life. .

A good graded road, wide eno any place has been finished to t Motorists can drive to this point with Perfect safety, turn around and pro- ceed back to Casper. The round trip is approximately 10 miles. Any car in good condition can make this trip without trouble, and with very little heating, if any. A Ford sedan made this trip Friday afternoon and the car was only stopped three times to }let the engine cvol.

P. K. Edwards, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church, and charles B, Stafford, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, one with a rake and the other with a hoe, with their coats peeled off, busily engaged in removing small rocks from the road, while little P. K. Edwards, Jr., and the young son of J. T. Gratiot were busily engaged in filling chuck holes and having the time of their lives in rolling loose rocks off the road. Within a short time the little party had raked and removed all loose rock from about 300 yards of the road, and had made a great im- provement in the driveway. | “We're ‘not working for show, or to set. an example for others,” said Rev. Edwards, “but because wo want to help in every way possible to make this_one of the most beau- | titul drives around Casper.

The Wills Sainte Claire on this run climbed higher than any other car this year and was never once in low. At no ‘time did the rediator need wa- ter.
