BY PROF. M. J. ELROD LOCAL TIRE MAN SCORES FABRICS Says Fabric Tires Are Thing of the Past “Fabric tires are fast being rele gated to the past,” sald Barl McKale of the McKale Tire Co,, 1201 Pine today. “The era of the cord tires has ar. Fived and within a comparetively, short time no tire manufacturer will be bullding fabric tires. “For some time the trend has been decidedly towards cords and in the larger cities it has been practically impossible recently to purchase fab tie tires, However, fabrics do retain some of thelr popularity in the clincher tire field, This was because of mechanical difioultice In manufac turing which made it almost impos sible to purchase @ quality clincher cord tire. “When the Sefberling Rubber Co.” continued Mr. McKale, “wan first formed, Seiberling's instructions were to work out @ quality 30x3% clincher cord tire which would sell to the consumer at a price no greater than that asked for good fabric tires, How Well Seiberling tire engineers suc ceeded in solving t problem ts shown by the remarkable popularity of the Setberling 3023% clincher cord selling to the consumer at $12.60. Small car owners have given this new tire a hearty welcome and It hae been almost impossible for the Seiberting factories to keep produc tion abreast with orders. “With lowered prices on high qual- ity cords there is no longer a pont bility for the continued existence of fabric tires as it has long been reco nized that cord tires give greater mileage and cost less per mile than fabric tires,” THE SEATTLE Dan Salt is evidently as good a judge of automobiles as he is of boxers. Daniel dees much of the matchmaking for Austin & Salt’s boxing shows, and when he says that the new Stude- baker speedster has speed, is a glutton for punishment and packs a wallop in every cylinder, it may be inferred that he regarda the Big-Siz asa champion. The car has several exclusive features that make it highly desirable, to say nothing of the natty appearance. A courtesy light and arm reat appeal to the driver, while the traveling trunk on the rear— made possible by mounting the spare wheels on the front fenders, is making friends for the moderately-priced model, which is on display at the Sands Motor Co., 1016 E.
