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

ident Deeds, who attended the race the
day before at Indianapolis, referred to j

"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.

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

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

braided wires form the only
way known to make practical
tires of this type. And we con-
trol this feature.

why this tire has so quickly come
to outsell all others.
Save 48 Per Cent
23 per cent of all
tires become rim-cut
shown by statistics.
No-Rim-Cut tires wipe
that loss completely.
Then we make these tires 10
per cent over the rated size.
And that oversize, under aver
age conditions, adds 25 per cent
to the tire mileage.
You get both these savings
in No-Rim-Cut tirea, Yet they,
now. cost no more than other
standard tires. Don't you think
such a saving "worth while?
