He wonders how it is that h's neighbor can get 25,000 miles out of @ tire whereas the best he can do is 10,000. Contributing to long mileages are great many factors. It isn't that the manufacturer builds more miles into one tire than he does another. It has been long the case that Miller tires, for example, give uniformly long mileage. The tire which escapes destruction until it hag traveled an unusually long distance can attribute its long life to the kindness of fate, but more especially the kindness of its owner. The first thing to do toward long mileage is to give the tire the care- No man who neglects to brush his ful attention it deserves, uit and have it pressed at regular intervals dares feel put out if it wears out quicker than he expected.

DETROIT, May, 18.—Maxwell and Chalmers, which by their tremen- dous growth in the past two years have given automotive market ex- perts cause to rank the advances made as forming one of the greatest achievements in motor car history, again hold the local business spot-| light with the announcement by Ar-| thur E. Barker, vicepres‘dent of the companies, that April was the largest month Maxwell-Chalmers has ever experienced, both in number of sales| and in volume. Tho records of the present organization as well as its predecessora ar@ surpassed in the sales figures for the month, Mr. Barker states that 8,587 cars’ were sold for the month representing a total business of $7,058,: This is ahout twenty per cent greater in number of cars and about twenty per cent greater in volume than the h'ghest previoum month in all Max- well-Chalmers history, It {3 also pointed out that despite this im- mense production and sale, orders on hand May Ist exceeded by a lMberal margin the total on hand April 1st. This applies to Maxwell and Chal mers coltectively and individually, Chalmers, it must be remembered, only recently came under the com-} plete control of the same interests which own Maxwell, and the growth and development which Chalmers has shown in short time is considered h’ghly remarkable. Those close to the Maxwe!l-Chalmers organization are reminded that this growth has taken virtually the same course that was followed by Maxwell in “tte rapid rise to a position of greater dominance in the last two years. Indications for May point to a sales volume that will probably show an appreciable increase over the record month of April. High pro- duction is being reached in all Max- well and Chalmers plants in De- troit, Dayton, Ohio, and ‘New Castle, | Ind.; and with orders steadily reach ng new peaks, there seems but little question that Maxwell-Chal- mens has set a record for one month's business on'y to shatter that record within another thirty | days. COLUMBIA HAS NEW SERVICE SYSTEM TODAY ational Organization Now Rounded* Out, President Bayerline Announces. The’ Columbia Motors company, ac-} cording to President J. G. Bayerline, | | is now able to announce the rounding out of a truly national system of service to Columbia service owners: The Columbia service plan Is said to be the most complete and far reaching system ever placed at the disposal of the owners of any car| selling at or near §1,000. Th’s assertion 1s made possible by the fact that Columbia service facili ties inctude not onty 1,600 well organ ized Columbia deafers, but literally thousands of parts and service depots maintained by the great specialized unit manufacturers whose products are embodied in the notably efficient specialized Columbia chassis. | Prompt service and parts supplies for the Columbia Six are available wherever automobiles can travel. No Columbia. owner need ever be force: to tie up his car in some garage wait- ing for parts or service, Parts depots are maintained by the manufacturers of Columbia Six units in every large distributing center. In| every garage, in every town, the motorist will find at least one me- chanic who knows how to service Continental motors, Timken axles and the other nationally known stand- ard units that contribute so ma- erially to Columbia dependability. “Columbia, owners tell us,” says Mr. Bayerline, “that this highly developed | distribution of parts and the univer- them, and contributes to much longer life for the car. ‘The quality and length of service éne gets from an automobile depent so much upon the availability of standard parts and upon the familiar- ity of mechanics with the units they are working on.

It is the opinion of Chairman Shirley that the frequent chesses in per- sonnel and plan of administration 1s largely due to lack of understanding on the part of the public of the plans of the department and just how the e's money is being expended for struction and maintenance of highways, It is the belief of the board that the motorists through the organized effort of their clubs can matertally help in building up public confidence in their State Highway department. ‘DOUD-WEAVER SELLS 41H STEWART TRUCK IN APRIL which have been | |administration with the correspond-| relieved from further duty by legis- ing changes in policy is appalling,| lative enactment and a new form of C. 8S.
