Mr. Carr assisted Vick Brothers at the fair An : the dls- ' play of the Oakland cars. He re ports that the demand : for the Oakland cars has exceeded the supply ever since the new model has been out. J were priced on that basis. Rubber for immediate delivery has not been as low as .") cents since the middle of May. Rubber for October-December delivery on Septepi- ber 19 was quoted at SO cents without much hope of relief. ' . 4'Manufacturer did not. hiBJw n necessary. 10. set ineir prices for tires higher than on the basis of.;55-cents rubber, because most of them were, fairly well covered around this figure and' they be lieved that the8 highly,,; inflated crude market would break. They felt thatv an increase London stocks of crude rubber and a cur- silment of tire production would bring this -about. In fact; tney were to thoroughly cbnvinced of this that while rubber was being quoted between 80 cents and $1-20 no purchasing whatever was done by manufacturers. It was limited only to speculators, who Were largely responsible for the high market at those figures "Conditions now do not bear out the fullest expectations of manufacturers.- The general feeling that August, would show a large curtailment in the manufacture of rubber goods was disproved when the August consumption' figures ; were published. London stocks of crude rubber, instead of increas ing, as was predicted, showed very sharp decreases. So that, the two factors on which hope wap based for stabilizing the market reached in exactly the opposite from a favorable direction." ; ,The General Tire and Rubber company has always followed a policy of advising against specula tion and it has shown in its his tory the soundness of maintain ing thispolicy. It has never', ad vised its dealers to load; up with heavy stocks, nor has it advised dealers to load uo their commer cial, accounts. However, hinder t present conditions General does advise tire users, especially com mercial accounts to keep up regu lar purchases for current require ments. General Tire officials feel that with the present aspect on the situation tire users can con sider themselves i fortunate if manufacturers are able to continue on present prices.

'' "'''' " ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '' ' r 1 1 1 A national survey ajijong users and suppliers of motor cars to ascertain the advantage of glycer ine as an antf-freeze substance, made evident the : general belief that yellow distilled glycerine is preferable to other solutions as a satisfactory anti-freeze compound. This survey wa conducted by the National Glycerine service of the Procter & Gamble company to investigate scientifically the uses of glycerine, i Interesting conditions have been discovered which reveal the wide spread necessity for a solution which will meet the tests which ensure all-year-round driving in cold weather. One automobile club, alone, in the northwest re ported that 76 per cent of its members put their cars during the winter because of there being no solution available, though some members were able to make their own Bolution of glycerine which ' made winter biileage possible for them. Garage owners In Scranton and Rolla, North Dakota, reported that many customers had obtained good results in the use of glycer ine and water, which was found to be cheaper than other solutions because of its non-evaporation. F. E. Oelkers of Scranton states, "In one Car which covered 2500 miles from, November 30 to .April 39. one filling only wras required. The car was out Hi all kinds of weather snow, mud and some very cold weather. I consider it the best and only safe solution for auto mobile radiators." . Motorists have long sought a radiator compound which would last "a long; time" or throughout the entire cold season. Now it is possible that the familiar scene of a motorist stopping at a house alonp the road and begging, water to fill his radiator because of evaporation of the solution he is using, may eventually pass into history., fiIr? Some motorists ventured to use nart distilled glycerine which they bought at a drug store. They mixed it with water without any definite recipe for right quantities and discovered its real efficiency. They found that it did not evap orate, and therefore made all winter driving possible. These ad vantage's were also met with the discovery that one filling would last throughout the entire cold srason, making the initial cost the only cost, with the entire solution 'eft over forthe succeeding season vvnen i Car our Starts Hard Call One of Our Experts We have men who are , experts in Generator, Starter and Magneto Work So we can absolutely guarantee our work Parts and Repairing at prices that please ' ' r ' ' i " . .' 11 Guaranteed Philco Batteries at reasonable prices Note: If you can't bring your car in will call for it Just Phone 203 mmmi Battery and Electrical Service 236 North High Street ?
