Tires Suit You?
or "the Service?
f-3
PERHAPS you are satisfied with the service being;
given you by the tires you use.
If you are, that isjwll, and the limit of any tire's?
accomplishment.
But perhaps you feel as does another portion of the
motoring public, that your tire money should buy a .
little more, in. miles and untroubled travel, than
it does now. . '
As much more, say, as the highest type of materials
and method could give.
If you feel this way, we suggest that you swing with
I the general trend, and try Goodyear Tires.
They are the preferred tire of this hemisphere -j
more of them are bought by the motorists of America'
than of any other brand.
Perhaps, also, you are not satisfied with the tire,
service rendered you by the man who sells you tires
Perhaps you feel he should take a greater interest in
the way your tires wear.
Here, again, we suggest that you swing with the
general trend and accept the very adequate, tire
service which we Goodyear Service Station Dealers
offer you free.

rtous Parts of Country.
Mueh ta th satisfaction of A. S.
Robinson, Northwest manager fer the
Pacifia KibselKaF branch interests, the
first model of the new Kissel XJ'' ar
rived in Portland last week and mans
ured up to aJl of the advanaa press
agent notiees.
"Exhaustive experiments covering
more than a. years time have proved
the Kissel 'XV a superior car for those
looUint? for that 'little more,' " said
Mr. Rohinson yesterday. "A dozen
double sixes were sent to various parts
of the country for many months of
thorough and unsparing tryouts. The
hardest hills, the roughest roads, the
effect pf varied climatic conditions
In fact every method and degree of
test that could be conceived was ap
plied. The results checked and re
checked surpassed the highest expec
tations of flexibility, speed and gen
eral merit.
Control 1m Perfect.
"Here indeed is power "In harness'
always under perfect control no Jerks
In starting, no sense of propulsion,
merely a feeling that can only be com
pared to flying. Its instantaneous
pickup is a revelation to drivers. Its
perfect performance in trarntj creep
ing Its way In and out with no more
effort or labor than in speeding
through the open country leads from
wonder to enthusiasm.
"Not only does its absence of vibra
tion provide unequaled ease and com
fort in riding and driving, but adds
years to the life of the car, for vibra
tion is the automobile's aroh enemy
the foe that gradually undermines its
strength and vitality.
Chassis Ifna Reserve Strencth.
"Wherever chassis strength is re-
quired it Is there In reserve. The fin-
eat grades of heat-treated steels are
employed. IJImnn.lons and weight of
each and every unit are made consist
ent with perfect safety and proper bal
anco, Krlctlonal surfaces are protect
fi by the most liberal use of the finest
bearings and 4ushlnga,
''Every piece of metal used In the
double six is submitted to the most
rigid chemical teststfor tensile strength
elastio limit, elongation and reduction
of area. The material In Its ordinary
forged condition is photographed un
der magnifying apparatus, thus reveal
ing plainly the slightest Imperfection
It is then heat-treated in the Kissel
ovens, after which it is once again
photographed and rejected unless
found absolutely flawless, Therein
lies the foundation of Kissel stability,'

CRATER JLuYKE IS POPriiAR
Tourists Kot Deterred by Walk ol
One Mile ThrougH Snow.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. July 21.
(Special.) - Although a mile of snow
still remains over which visitors must
walk in order to view Crater Lake from
the rim, the travel there at this sea
son of the year has never been so heavy.
according to word received here today
from Superintendent Momyer.
A great many machines with tourists
are going through this city now, and
many tourists are arriving dally on the
train. The fact that tickets are being
sold direct to Crater Lake by the vari
ous railroads at Eastern points Is be
lleved to be the reason so many tourists
are coming in by train, as this Is the
first year tickets have been Issued
through to the lake.

110 CARS MADE DAILY
MANAGER OF OLD 5 MOB 11,1-2 COJW
PAXV OF OHEtiOV llKTlllNS.
E. E. Cohen Says 75 Per Cent of the
Production la Llaht Eight New
Sedan to lie Pretty.
E. E. Cohen, manager of the Olds-
mobile Company, of Oregon, who re
turned a few (lays ago from a trip to.
the OldsmoMle factory at Lansing,
Slich., reports that the factory is noyr.
turning out 110 cars a day.
"Seventy-five per cent of the produc
tion is the light eight, which had such
a tremendous popularity during the
present season," says Mr. Cohen. "The
balance is the small six, which is tak
ing the place of the four-cylinder car
of last year. The eight-cylinder V-type
motor Is becoming more popular each
year, and 1918 will see a freat many
more factories adopting tls type of
motor, I predict.
"The Oldsmobile will have a Sedan
to offer the public In September, which
Is the prettiest small car I have ever"
seen. It will be built only on the si-"
cylinder chassis and will sell for $16!S
at the factory. They took me througlv
the stock warehouse, which is threo
stories high and covers two acres, and
showed me the stock of material, which'
was purchased before the abnormal
prices of raw material went Into ef
fect, and which has served to keep
prices down." -
