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."
