ANNOUNCEMENT I Wk wish to notify our friends and patrons of our new and larger location 522-528 -Aider Street, corner of Sixteenth Si We have grown to a point that our former location was too small to properly care for our customers. We now have eight times as much space as form erly occupied a complete and to-the-minute machine shop. Our friends are cordially invited to inspect our new quarters. Our service is perfect. Knights Maxwell's and Columbia Silent ON EXHIBITION UNITED AUTO Alder Street CO, SWEPSTAKES HAVE EDUCATIONAL VALUE! That the International ftweepstnkcs race, which haa become an annual da lc nolieduled for tach Memorial day t ihn TnillanunoliH motor speedway, cur ries with It a vast amount of educa tional value Is the verfllct of the Na tional CaBh Register company officials, a body of men who probably are amonqr lha .jpost advanced in advortlslng and salesmanship ideas'. A few days ago that company ordered a block of 200 choice seats from the Rinnaarement of tha speedway for tha second annual rases on May 30. In ex plaining why it purchased this block of tickets, the company says: "Th day after the race last year there was held at our plant In Dayton an ef ficiency meetlne for employes. These meetings are held often throughout the I year, the idea being to call the atten tion of the organisation to the neces sity of keeping speeded up and staying abreast. If not ahead, of tbe great ef ficiency movement which Is playntx men a bg part In the world's" com merce. "On this particular occasion Vice Pres ident Deeds, who attended the race the day before at Indianapolis, referred to j It tin UrTlU'fS DICUMJM .Aawastrv we. cjpuvu nnd efficiency. "Th! organization which was evident ' in the handling of the entire event, th team work displayed in' the .pits, th marvelous speed with which tires were clians-jd, repairs were made, etc., so imnressed Mr. Deeds that he used these iMnn m the banis of an inr.Dlrinar talk to the employes. v ----- - "At the close of his remarks the Pres- ' Ident of the company announced tba: the following; year 180 employe's wouM bo sent to attend the speedway race -it the company's expense.' This trip is la the nature of a prise for good work done thronKhout the past year. "The cash register company fias. al ways lfn a great believer, in educa tional trips. Kvery one. who attended the St, Louis worlds fair remambers . the great army of employes which vis ited the exposition -hundreds being there from Dayton at th company's j sxpensa. - - - 200,000 Adopt Them Over one million of these tires have been used, on some 200,000 cars. As a result, the demand today is six times larger than two years ago. As another result. No-Rim-Cut tires now far out sell any other tire. For all these users are advising others to adopt this patent tire. 126 Braided Wires Vulcanized into the base of this tire are six flat bands of 126 braided wires. . These wires by making the (tlre base unstretchable give us tire that need not hook to the s rim. So your removable flanges may be reversed curved out ward instead of inward. It isr done in a moment Then the rounded side comes next to the tire. Our Patent Tire These six flat bands of braided wires form the only way known to make practical tires of this type. And we con- trol this feature.
