Seccess Ground Floor Lambert Multiplus Tire Department, 1918 Power Driven Machinery The Stretchlcss Belting Department is located upstairs. Beyond the room shown in this picture are several rooms used as offices, stockroom, etc There is a large concrete basement below and garage and machine shop m an adjoin ing building. The picture does not show the fourth row of tire-making machines and, of course, does not show the power equipment, line shafts, etc., which are located under the floor. The large machine in the distance at the left is a tire-wrapping machine, with which bandages are wrapped tightly around the tires, prior to vulcanizing. Mr. Henry M. Lambert is seen at the right of center group showing the other three men the latest type of construction. S pealing of Mr. Lambert, inventor of the "Trublpruf" tire, IL S. Har court, addressing a recent .asstmblnjo of Portland business men. said: "He Is most unassuming, quiet and gentle in his demeanor a man of few words, but a deep and serious thinker, lie is a gentleman of great genius and a profound lover of that which is use ful and of benefit to humanity. lie could not invent a putz!e or a top or a thing of a frivolous character. His mind could not be diverted from the beneficial to the nonsensical Such would have no interest for him. His nature directs his thoughts toward that which is of value to the world, and helpful to his fellows. And he is prompted in his work by the good he can do and not by the lure of riches. He is not given to inflated language, but always content with the modest truth. The trials be has had to un dergo in interesting the public in the wonderful tire he has invented and led on to perfection, can be known only to himself. He does not "peddle" them around nor herald them from the housetops. He has borne them pa tiently, convinced that in the end the world's eyes would be opened to the treasure he had created for it, and its value would be recognized. "I called at the factory the other day. I found it a busy place. I saw men working like Trojans. Wheels were whirring and tires being fash ioned as rapidly as they could be manufactured by the little army of workers. But I was told by . R. Anderson, the business manager, that the capacity of the plant is less than 25 per cent of the demands upon it. I saw an order from a New York cus tomer for $25,000 worth of the tires. I saw an inquiry from Detroit, Mich., asking how soon the factory could ship 3200 tires to the writer, and I saw numerous letters from other lo calities spotted over several states of the Middle West from persons desir ing to purchase from one to 100 and 150 sets of tires. "What would this mean to Port land? Two tire factories of Akron, Ohio, employ more men than do all the industries of Oregon, including our shipyards and sawmills. The rubber used in these is landed on this Coast and shipped to Akron from here. It ought to be manufactured into tires in Portland." Henry M. Lambert, Inventor of the Trublpruf Automobile Tire THE LAMBERT TRUBLPRUF TIRE In the past Sir. Lambert has invented and perfected the following useful and meritorious machines ana devices: Gas Engine, Suction Power for Vacuum Cleaner or other machinery used in creating vacuums, Steam Engine, Air Compressor, Streetcar Fender, School Desk and Seat, ZVVater Elevator used in irrigation, Streetcar Street Indica tor, Pump, Bicycle Package Carrier, Steam Engine Valve, Fruit Evaporator, Kick-back Preventer for Gas Engines, Stretchless Machinery Belting, Non-Compressed-Air Auto Tires and many others. Many of these are tested out, proven and in use. Others are on their way to civilization's service. Lambert Multiplus Company Factory and Office 125 Grand Ave. North, Corner East Hoyt St., Portland, Oregon This is the tire destined to revolutionize the tire business of the world. It is composed of . rubber and stretchless belting, is good for 20, 000 or more miles and as resilient as the pneu matic It cannot be punctured and is free from blowouts. With these tires on his ma chine, the automobilist can travel the smooth est" pavements or roughest roads in perfect security, and need not carry extra tires for use in case of emergency, occasioned by usual tire troubles. As safety first devices they are without a peer, and they banish all anxiety of the traveler as to fear of crippled tires when distant from home or places where repairs may be made, for, as a matter of fact, they are "Cripple Proof." Particular attention is called to the flattened appearance of the holes as the tire strikes the stone. It exemplifies the resilience of the tires, overcoming the thought of the unin formed that in encountering obstacles in its path a jar, disturbing the comfort of the rider or detrimental to the machinery of the car, would ensue. There is not the slightest danger of such an event. Occupants of cars equipped with these tires have no experiences of this character. The facts are that the tires are so durable, so reliable, so comfort producing, so absolutely free from faults that only the envy of rivals can conjure up a cloud on the horizon of the new world of happiness the invention is creating in all sections of the country. It has been : thoroughly tried out in Oregon and Washington, in Illinois, Michigan and New York, and has so completely satisfied its users that with our present factory facilities we are unable to supple one quarter of the demand for them in the commonwealths named. What will happen when introduced to automobilists and truckmen of ALL the states is easy to conjec ture It will require several factories and many thousands of workers to supply the demand. RIDES IN AIR Our tires are so constructed that the autoist rides IN AIR, which has not been compressed and upon bands made of the "stretchless" belt ing. This belting is made of cords which are wound into belts or bands from which the "give" in the fiber has been removed in the process of winding by placing the cords under extremely high tension. They are thoroughly rubberized and enclosed in rubberized canvas casings. The holes extended through the tire are in staggered relation, so that the autoist is always riding IN AIR on yielding, tensioned, corded bands. Since these bands cannot stretch and since the air between them is AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE ONLY, it is clear that no punc tures or blowouts can affect them. They also do away with rim-cuts, valve-leakages, extra tires or tubes, puncture repair kits, pumps, loss of time on the road, soiled clothing, etc In fact, are "TRUBLPRUF" as far as all the vexatious accidents which arise from com pressed air are concerned. LAMBERT TRUBLPRUF TIRES Were placed on exhibition at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Fran cisco in 1915. After many weeks of delibera tion by both the subordinate and superior juries they were awarded the "Silver Medal," being HIGHEST AWARD given by that great exposition to any make of tire.

Accident Occurs on Shipboard at European Port Scores Sent to Hospital Portland Iad's ' Throat Badly Burned. A letter from France, written by Neil Malarkey, with the Oregon troops, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan J. Ma larkey, discloses the fact that he was one of the Ibcai boys who suffered In the ammonia gas Incident at the point of debarkation, recently described In a dispatch from Will G. MacRae, atari corresDondent of The Oregon tan. "I suppose you are wondering what is the matter with me. or with us. 1 should say, for there are at least 100 in similar plight," writes Nell Malar key. "We were gassed. Don't fall over. We are not on the western front and are not a group of distinguished survivors, but we were nearly extin guished, just the same. It was the result of an accident in the hold four hours after 1918 appeared. We had not yet disembarked. Ship Swapped for Aasbnlaaee. "We did disembark very soon after wards, though, from the ship to a more speedy conveyance, an ambulance. I'm sorry I can't tell you the details of the accident, but it was quite the most horrible experience I ever went through. It is a story that must wait for the reunion on Crest Hill Drive." A. described by The Oregonian staff correspondent, the gassing of Neil Ma larkey and hi. comrade, occurred when a heavy timber fell and broke open an ammonia tank, sending .corsa of th soldiers to the hospital from the effects of the choking fumes. "The results varied a great deal," continues the letter. "I got off very lightly, thank God. My throat was badly burned, which relieved me of ar ticulate speech for two days and de prived me of the ability to swallow any form of food. I quickly regained my speaking and eating ability and am now O. K. Flrst Impressloa False. "I suppose you are wondering what I think of the country and how I am getting along with French. I've found very little opportunity to Judge the former or try out the latter. The point of disembarkation, which looked so beautiful from the harbor, turned out to be a very dirty city. ."The streets were a fright. My only view of the city was from the back of an ambulance, but I saw so many sights that I was quite satisfied the style of the buildings, the dress of the people, the signs on the shops and thousands of other little things." Earlier in the letter, apparently writ ten just after his discharge from the base hospital, Neil Malarkey speaks of his coming reunion with "Junior," his brother, 'Dan J. Malarkey, Jr.. sta tioned at a point 100 miles distant. A postscript which concludes the letter says: "Am now back with Junior. That' about all that I can say. We are both well and getting along fine." Young Estate Worth $92,188. EUGENE, Or., Feb. ' 12.
