Irregularities of the road surface are toned down s0 that they are almost imperceptible while driving at speeds that would almost throw the passengers out of | their seats on the present cord tire. It is not possible, of course, to do away with the ups and downs of the road but on the so called “balloon” tire everything is so cushioned that the knocks and jolts are dissipated before they ever reach the car. While the development of this new tire have not progressed to a point where it is possible to state all of the sizes which will be employed, it is quite likely that popular sizes will be 28x4, 30x, $6x6, and 34x7. - Pos- sibly the maximum air pressure to be carried in these tires will be 35 pounds with a minimum of approx- imately 15 pounds, all of which 1s governed by the diameter and the weight to be carried per tire. A series of questions arise usually from the consumer about the effect of these larger tires on the car opera- tion. One of the principal of these questons is that dealing with fuel con- sumption. In general the large dia- meter tire consumes no more nor less fuel than the high pressure pneu- matics, This statement ts based upon test tires of various sizes which have been run over thousands of miles at the Miller Rubber Company, in Akron, Ohio. It has been found true that with a large cross section tire the car coasts as freely and accelerates prac- tically the same as with the high pressure pneumatics, Evidence is not positive but the indications are that there may be a very slight dit- ference in the possible speed attained.

Big-Six. And they report that, in every way, it represents precisely their conception of what a really fine motor car should be, They are enthusiastic over their all-round satisfaction with the Big-Six because of its dependability, surplus power, extreme comfort for seven passengers, the completeness of its equipment and its fine appearance. The serics 24 model—the finest Big-Six Studebaker ever built—presents a value unapproached by other cars at any- where near the price. And its nominal cost of operation is a source of continual satisfaction. Everything for which one can wish in motoring convenience, comfort and utility has been provided—even to an extra disc wheel complete with tire, tube and tire cover; handsome nickel- plated bumpers, front and rear; automatic gasoline signal mounted on instrument board, and many other features. The low price of the Big-Six is due to large volume, the fact that Studebaker overhead is) shared by three models, the manu- facture of all vital parts in Studebaker plants and Studebaker’s vast physical and financial resources. After 71 years of service, the name Studebaker enjoys con- fidence and respect more than ever. 1924 MODELS AND PRICES. IGHT-SIX SPECIAL-SIx 5-Pasg., 112° W. B. 5-Pase., 115, W.
