In Atlanta Monday will be dealers from several Southern States, and a meeting will be held at which Mr. Redden will tell the salesmen of the improvements made in the Maxwell factory facilities and give to them a general idea of the sales policies of the company. Big Demand South. In explanation of the situation, Manager Booth said: “There has been such an over whelming demand for our line since the announcement of the 1914 models that my time has been largely taken op ordering cars out of the factory and trying to divert shipments from other channels to supply the demand in the South. “The job has not been an easy one, for, although the factories have been working to capacity, it has been an impossibility to turn cars out right and fast enough for the ever-increas ing demand throughout the country.

Capital of Premier Increased $500,000 Easy Way Provided To Replace Wires Indianapolis Concern Has Grown Un til It Occupies Two City Blocks. ‘Little Six’ Popular. Mitchell’s Owners Not Required to Have Intricate Knowledge of Mechanics. QUEER LETTERS TQ The capital of the Premier Motcr Manufacturing Company of Indian apolis ha,s been increased $500,000 to take care of a rapidly growing busi ness. This concern was organized ten years ago on a comparatively small scale, and its output has grown to such an extent that the plant now covers two city blocks. The Premier was one of a few con cerns which several yearn ago real ized the necessity of the six-cylinde! car. The “Little Six” therefore has the advantage of the longest time in manufacture. H. O. Smith, president of the concern, predicts an unusually heavy demand for this car. MISS RICE WITH BUICK. Miss Ethel Rice, of Flint. Mich., has joined the local office force of the Buick Motor Company. In order to make certain that the owner of a Mitchell car need have no intricate knowledge of mechanics or electrical practice to replace wires used in the ignition system, should it be necessary after fording a creek to remove drops of water or otherwise eliminate short-circuiting troubles, •the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company has mounted the magneto on the loft side of the engine in a very accessible place. This magneto is driven through a flexible universal joint from the dis tribution gear box. A fiber distribu tion tube Is utilized, and all the R3C- ondary wires are marked at born ends. The faring order of the cylinders is conspicuously indicated on a little place mounted on the distribution tube. This guides the owner in replacing the wires and makes it almost Impos sible for him to have trouble with them. Regal President Tells of How Correspondents Try to Get Something for Nothing. “To And points of similarity be tween an Irishman and a Chinaman would appear a hopeless undertaking,'' said E. G. Benriet, vice president of General Motors Export Co., who has charge of the Oakland foreign busi ness, “yet as far as the automobile exporter is concerned, Ireland and China come under the same classifi cation. “Their common ground lies in the fact that both the Irishman and the Chinaman in his home country is a non-purchaser of motor cars. An au tomobile driven by a Chinaman in the cities of China is an unufual sight, yet away from his home surroundings the Lhinaman is a h* u.vy purchaser. The same is true of ilie Irish people. Cars Sent to Japan. China, one of the largest coun tries in the wjrid, is a poor export country. We .ship more Oaklands to Java than we do to the whole of China, and this holds true with other manufacturers. “R does not follow that we do not ship Oaklands to China, for we do, but they are practically all bought by foreigners, the Oakland being popular w ith the English, French and German people, who reside in China. “But the Chinese business man who dwells in the Malay States or the Dutch East Indies is a ready pur chaser, taking practically all of the* cars shipped to these countries.’’ Going Soon to Russia. Mr. Bennet’s headquarters are in New York City, and, he recently vis ited the home office in Pontiac, ac companied by H. M. Salisbury, comp troller. Mr. Rennet will leave in a few weeks for Russia, to superintend the placing of agencies throughout that country. He will go direct to St. Petersburg, and thence to Vladi vostok. “1914 Oaklands are in good demand for export," says Mr. Bennet. “While I was at the factory a rush order for Model 36 touring cars came in from Brisbane. Australia. The dealer was allowed only one car on the order and this was shipped overland by way of Vancouver, instead of the water way through the Suez, in order to save a few days’ time.” All-Weather Treads Double-Thick Treads Immensely Flat-Top Enduring P „ Wide-Base OOPS Sharp-Cut Very Deep Like a Smooth Tread on Dry Roads—A Resistless Grip on Wet Roads Buy Nothing Else This Winter You men who investigate will this winter buy nothing but All-Weather treads. Here is all the advantage, all the economy of the plain-tread tire. And here is the last word in efficient anti skids. It is the greatest of Good year inventions. The tread is double-thick. The rubber is extra tough — toughened by a secret process. The blocks are deep and enduring. They last for thousands of miles. The tread is flat. The projec tions are broad and regular. Thus we avoid vibration and give you the smooth-tread effect. The blocks have sharp edges, facing the skidding direction. And those edges stay sharp. Their grip on wet roads is tenacious. The blocks widen out so they meet at the base. Thus the strains are dis tributed just as with plain-tread tires. It was separate projections, centering the strain at one point in the fabric, which made anti-skids short-lived. Come, see aud compare them, man who does this will ever buy the old-type anti-skids. There is no comparison, iu efficiency, in economy, in all- around, long-time service. You can see this at a glance. Yet most anti-skids cost more than these because of smaller output. The Most Popular Tires Ever Made All-Weather treads now come, if wanted, on Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires. They outsell our smooth treads with users. And these great tires are now, by long odds, the largest-selling tires in the world. No-Rim-Cut tires first won top place because they cannot rim-cut. They have saved motor car owners many millions of dollars by this one great economy. They ai^ also the only tires which are final-cured on air bags, under actual road coudltions. This is done at an extra cost of $1,500 daily. It is done to save the countless blow-outs due to wrinkled fabric. They are the only tires in which hundreds of large rubber rivets are created to prevent tread separation. Rim-cutting is made impossible. Blow-outs and loose treads are minimized in way’s that no rival employs. Because of this fact, no other tire compares in sales with Goodyears. No-Rim-Cut Tires With All-Weather Treads Now comes this All-Weather tread. A tread which safety demands on all wheels at all seasons. An anti-skid tread which has no competi- tion with men who know the facts. So there are now four econ omies— four enormous advan tages—to win you to No-Rim- Cut tires. You will join the legions who buy these tires when you once find them out.

Haines, president of the Regal Motor Car Company, the other day. “Last week we received a check and an order for one of our touring cars from a man out West. The joke lay in the check, which was for $11.25. It seems that we had recently run an New Auto Literature. A new viewpoint in automobile lit erature is afforded by the Stude baker Proof Book, just issued, which describes in detail the mechanical pro cesses through which raw* material passes in its trip to completion in a Studebaker car. At the psychological moment, when the tire user Is feeling the need of equipping his car with safety tread tires, and when the Goodrich "Safety First" slogan is becoming almost a household word, the B, F. Goodrich Company announces a reduction in tire prices to the user. "This notion Is characteristic of the Goodrich Company’s policy of giving the greatest possible service and maintaining its leadership," said H. A. Price, local manager of the Goodrich Company. "It is our policy to deserve and hold the confidence of our customers by always sharing with them the benefits derived from improved methods of manufacture and changed conditions in the rubber and other markets. “At this time a lowering in the cost of tires means & lot to the user. It means a genuine help to him In re ducing the expense of operating his car. “The price reduction Is considera ble, and every man who has to buy tires is going to appreciate it. A price reduction on Goodrich tires is important because It Involves no sac rifice of intrinsic value. Every tire user knows that in every Goodrich tire there Is 44 years of experience In rubber manufacture—and all the rep utation and responsibility such a rec ord means. “The fact that the lower prices af fect Goodrich Safety Tread tires shows that this is no half-way meas ure. And It means that the motorist can get the tire with ‘the tread that makes the brake effective’ just when It will do him the most good." East spring the Goodrich Company led the tire makers o? the world in reducing prices to the consumer as it did last year. The reduction in prices at tliis time comes os a pleasant sur prise to the motorists of the country.
