Cummings - Carson Are Now in Elaborate New Broadway Home The Cummlifgs Carson company, local distributors of Firestone tires, are In their new location at 104 Broadway, vhere they have arranged the most tasteful tire distributing station in the city. It In the, only concern dealing in tires that has, a drive-in service, and thorough facilities for gtvjng service with the lea.st delay and the greatest amount of convenience. The office of the company is well planned, combining a business atmos phere with one of customer-comfort that would do credit to an automobile agency of the better sort. "We believe that the plan along which we have constructed the building will meet with the Instant approval of Fire stone users." said P. J. Carson, "for he advantage of having a place where tires may be adjusted and examined R'.vny from the activity of the stfeet cannot he overestimated." 1 5, '4 iVv tfW' '''- V"- Bend, Or comes to Portland for the Bell ear. Mr. and Mrs. O. Peterson, of Eastern Oregon, representing the Shevlln-Hixon eompany, with the new Bell, purchased from the Western States Motor company. Kelly -Springfield, Sales Departments Moving to New York The general sales department of the Kelly-Sprlngfleld Tire company will be transferred from Cleveland, Ohio, where It has been located for past years, to New York city, according to word just received here by Charles Mead, mana ger of the local Kelly-Sprlngfleld branch. The Kelly-Sprlngfleld company Is about to commence work on a new 16 story office building In, Gotham, where the general sales department will be lo cated, as will also be the housing point of the general office staff, together with the executive departments. Otis R- Cook, who has been with the company for the past nine years and has been vice president and general sales manager for six years of that time, announces that J. V. More will move up to' the position of general sales matiager, with offices in New York. Morg's former position was that of assistant general sales manager. W. H. Bell will succeed More as assistant general sales manager. Mr. Cook will not sever his connec tions with the company, but will re main in Cleveland engaged in special work for. the concern. He will retain his stock in the company and will con tinue to act on the board of directors. The reason fcr the removal of the company to New York Is not given, but it is to be supposed that the move is 'made with a view to getting nearer the financial and chipping center of the country. Practically all other large tire companies now direct the activities of their factories from that center.
