QUALITY PRODUCT MADE
Old Pacific Coast Concern Headed
by John I. Spreckels Bolides
Xew 10,000-3I"Jle Cord.
An announcement of unusual inter
est to the tire trade In Portland was
made here last week by A. C. Lester,
Pacific coast district manager for
the Spreckels Savage Tire company,
with headquarters in Los Angeles,
and O. T. Cummings, manager of the
Portland branch of the company.
Their announcement made public the
fact that the Howell-Swift Tire com
pany. 445 Stark street, Portland, has
been appointed distributor for Sav
age tires in western Oregon and the
Columbia river counties of Wash
ington. The Spreckels Savage Tire com
pany, a Pacific coast concern, makes
one of the high-grade fabric and
cord tires on the market. It factory
is at San Diego, CaL, where some
thing like 700 men are employed in
the manufacture of its product.
Many persons think it is compora
tively a recent thing for automobile
tires to be manufactured on the Pa
cific coast, yet the Savage tire has
been manufactured at San Diego for
the past 11 years. Three years ago
John D. and A. B. Spreckels, well
known California capitalists, ac
quired control of the company, since
which time it has greatly broadened
its activities. At the same time, the
name spreckels was incorporated
In the name of the concern.

TIOX WEEK FOR "HOT SIPOT."
"Beit Tire PoMible" Is Poller.
One of the first acts of John D.
Spreckels on obtaining control of the
company was to lay down as a rigid
factory policy "not to build as good
a tire as any, but the best tire pos
sible." In line with that policy the
company has been producing tires
that under the severest tests In actual
service have been giving great sat
isfaction. It has not tried for great
quantity production, being1 content to
turn out fewer tires, but these all of
the higrhest possible quality.
Up to this year the company made
fabric tires only. But something
more than a year ago Mr. Spreckels
directed his factory engineers to de
sign and build a cord tire that would
be the best cord tire that could pos
sibly be constructed, regardless of
expense. "With this carte blanche to
go ahead, the new Spreckels Savage
cord tire was produced, which was
placed on the market only a few
months ago. Already it ranks as one
of the most unusual and remarkable
cord tires ever made.
In Cincinnati, O., is a man named
W. G. Brown, head of a concern called
the Consulting company, who ' is
known among tire companies as the
greatest tire expert in the world.
Mr. Brown is a diagnostician of tire
ailments. He makes a specialty of
discovering what is wrong with any.
tire product that is not giving satis
faction for any reason, and of telling
the manufacturer how to correct the
fault. That is all he does, but it
keeps him busy.
Expert Gives High Praise.
When the new Spreckels Savage
cord tire had been built, a section of
one of the tires was sent to Mi.
Brown for his verdict. Unsolicited,
Mr. Brown on the stationery of his
company sent back a letter of praise
for the tire that has surprised the
tire world. He wrote:
"We are pleased to acknowledge
six-inch section of five-inch cord
tire that is one of the best examples
of tire production that we have ever
noted, and all the factory end con
nected with this production, including
the man who built up the tire, is de
serving of every possible commenda
tion.
"The tire is well laid, bead well
placed and the cure perfect. It does
not seem possible that a tire con
structed as this five-Inch is, should,
barring accidents, ever wear out.
There is not a point on the tire in
any place that anyone could criticise
in the least, and our only wisn is that
vour entire production will continue
along the same lines.
"The section occup'es a prominent
place on the desk and has been han
dled by goodness knows how many
Yours very truly,
"THE CONSULTING COMPANY,
(Signed) "W. G. Brown.
This new cord tire, which has now
been in production some months, i
made in the sizes from 32x3 hi up to
38x7. The Savage fabric tire is made
in all sizes.
Two Extra riles of Card.
The new cord tire is the Savage
factor's own design. The Savage
special headloek is one of its severs
features and it contains iwo piles o
cord over the standard makes. The
adjustment basis on this tire, indi
catintr the great confidence the fac
tory reposes in it, is 10.000 miles.
Some of the tests to which the nrst
cords were put to try them out thor
oughly before the tires themselves
were placed on the market make in
teresting reading. A large number
were tried out on auto stages making
some of the hardest runs in Califor
nia. After having undergone hard
service in this way, the tires were put
on vehicles too heavy for them, so
that they would be undersiza and re
quired to carry much more than their
rated capacity load. This was done
deliberately In order to bring out any
defects there might be in construc
tion. Speed Xot Factory Object.
In building these tires it was ex
plained last week by A. C Lester,
Pacific coast district manager, time
is considered of no Importance. The
main thing is not the time it takes
to build the tire, but the quality of
the tire that is built. The factory takes
pride in the claim, said Mr. Lester,
that it takes once and a quarter as
long to make these new Savage cords
as an ordinary cord tire.
But besides its cord tires, the com-i
pany also makes high-grade fabric
tires in all sizes. Its "D" type fabric
is of extra heavy quality and has one
extra ply of fabric ever standard
makes. It i also oversize.
The territory for which the Howell
Swift Tire company has been appoint
ed distributor includes western Ore
gon as far east as The Dalles and
south to Bend, but excepting the coun
ties of Josephine, Jackson. Klamath
and baKB. am ine oiumDia rive
counties of Washington are included.
Plans for Showing Car to Large
Numbers Being Made by
Local Bra neb.
The coming week will be demon
stration week for -the Chalmers
throughout the entire country, accord
ing to plans which have been an
nounced by the Maxwell-Chalmers
factory, and plans lor making the
week a big one for the Chalmers lo
cally are being prepared by T. R.
Harrington, manager of the Portland
branch of the Maxwell Motor Sales
corporation. Third and Oregon streets,
Chalmers and Maxwell dealers.
The Chalmers organization here
plans on "riding all who ride" in the
latest model "hot spot" six and
everyone will be welcome to a. dem
onstration, it is stated. According to
Mr. Harrington no attempt will be
made to sell cars during the week,
but all efforts will be bent toward
demonstrating. Those who accept
demonstration trips will not obligate
themselves in any way, and anyone
wishing a demonstration who will call
at the headquarters or phone will be
taken care of with all possible
promptness, he states. Mayor Baker
and city officials will be given the
first demonstration rides Monday
morning and after that other leading
citizens.
"By this demonstration" week, ex
plained Harrington, "we hope to have
the public get the truth abeut the
Chalmers by actually experiencing its
operation, and riding qualities. As
many people as possible will be given
an opportunity to get personally ac
quainted with the car. Chalmers cars
will be available at any time during
each day of the week, up to 6:30
o'clock in the evening and we Invite
the people of Portland, whether own?
ers of other cars or whether pros
pective buyers or not, to call for demonstrations."
vidual fenders and individual alum
inum steps are standard equipment
on this 1922 Haynes product. Exte
rior side cowl lamps are a pleasing
innovation.
Sturdy and powerful and possess
ing the typical Haynes open-car body
lines, the new 1922 Haynes 55 Is dis
tinctive among the smaller and lighter
cars. .The body is mounted on a 121
inch wheelbase chassis and accommo
dates five passengers. One of the
salient features of the new 1922
Haynes 55 is the famous Haynes-built
light six engine which gives the car
phenomenal power and enables it to
develop exceptional speed.
The high, broad-arched hood gives
the new Haynes 55 an imposing ap
pearance, while the brilliajit luster of
the classic Brewster green finish and
the genuine leather upholstery stamp
the new car as being fully up to the
approved Haynes standards of man
ufacture and workmanship.

Important Step la Taken by Six
Authorized Dealers to Boost
Farm Equipment.
The Fordson tractor business in
Portland has grown to such an extent
that It has been necessary for the
six authorized Ford dealers .to secure
separate quarters for this department,
and last week the old Warren Con
struction company building at the
corner of Bast Water and Main streets
was secured.
The Fordson business in the city is
handled by the six authorized Ford
dealers Jointly, under the direction
of R. W. Bell, manager, and until last
week headquarters were maintained
with the Universal Car Exchange on
Grand avenue. Under the new ar
rangement, however, a separate Ford
son organization will be maintained,
with its own sales and service and
office organizations.
The new establishment will have
seven salesmen on the road and will
have a force of five service men, in
addition to the office force. Bell an
nounced. . The company will keen a
j large stock of Fordson tractors and
equipment on hand, and plans to
make arrangements whereby farmers
can be aided in the purchase of their
equipment.
In addition to the Fordson tractor
business the organization is handling
complete line of Fordson author
ized equipment, including over 50 de
vices of various kinds, manufactured
in many parts of the country. This
business represents a large propor
tion of the total business, Mr. Bell
stated, and farming and power equip
ment of many kinds for use with
the FordBon are kept on hand and
handled.

CHEVROLET OF INTEREST
NEW MODELS RECEIVED HERE
ATTRACT MANY.
Party of Officials Iom Detroit
. Headquarters Is Expected, to
Reach City Today.
That the new Chevrolet 490, which
made its appearance in Portland last
week, is creating wide-spread inter
est, is the declaration of LeRoy
Fields of the Fields Motor Car com.
pany, Chevrolet dealers here. Several
of the new models were placed on
display at the attractive show rooms
of the Fields company at Fourteenth
and Alder streets last Monday and
were seen by a large number during
the week. . .
While the new Chevrolet is prac
tically unchanged in external appear
ance from the old model there are
a number of new mechanical features
which give the car studier construc
tion -4han ever and add refinements
not hitherto included. Fields states.
Chief among these is the now rear
axle. This has been entirely recon
structed and - is much stronger
throughout than before. Spiral ring
and pinion gears, new departure ball
bearings and propeller shaft are not
factory specifications. Another change
has been a new clutch alignment to
eliminate all grabbing of the clutch.
A change which will be of interest
to the Chevrolet driver is that which
eliminates the clutch brake, which bas
been a feature of the old 490 models.
The new models have both hand and
foot brakes with the .clutch pedal
separate.
The coming week will be one of im
portance for the Chevrolet organiza
tions in the city as three leading
Chevrolet officials are scheduled to be
here. They are Colin Campbell, sales
manager of the Chevrolet Motor Car
company; F. A. Bonham, parts and
service manager, both of Detroit, and
Robert Mulch, sales manager for the
Chevrolet Motor Car company of Cali
fornia. The party is expected to arrive
here this morning and to spend sev
eral days here conferlng with offi
cials of the northwest Chevrolet or
ganization, located in the big 'new
Chevrolet building on the east side,
and with Mr. Fields and others of the
Chevrolet retail organization here.
Speedometer Drive Explained.
A much neglected part of the mech

which the car owner seldom inspects
or lubricates. If the driving sears of
this part are lubricated once a week
they will operate more quietly and
for a considerably longer period.
