But now if the rubber "doesn't last twice that long, at least, there's something wrong The confidence of manufacturers in; their products is exemplified ; by the; Seiberiing " tire protection plan, which gives the motorist a " full year's protection against any tire damage caused by accident or road hazard. ? . " "And now, after freeing the motorist from tire worry, the Seiberiing company comes along with , a new compound that in creases the life of the tire by at least 3S ner sent. During the process- of vulcanization, this compound causes a much closer affinity between the rubber mole- , eules hence the name 'af finite . , The result is a tighter, stronger and - toucher tread virtually a -wear-proof tire." ' The new product was put - - tbrouch exhaustive tests before - being made a part of the new . Seiberlinr special service tire, Mr. Zosel explained. An abra . slon test, in which the af finltq tread and the old tread were held -under equal- tension against a " friction - wheef. showed that the new tread stock wore down 35 per cent les rapidly than the best stock heretofore known. Careful Test Made 1 "One of the most interesting of the testa,"" Mr. Zosel continued, "was a 10,000 mile road tert made with a composite tire half "af finite and the other half the old type of tread. Examination after the test showed that the old stock was worn nearly smooth, while " the affinite half still showed a heavy margin of Its non skid surface. ; "With the new Seiberiing tread design, which, because of its greater depth and width gives 40 tire accident from .any one of the per cent greater traction, the in creased efficiency of the " new tire is brought well over 37 per cent. ; ' The Hew 6eiberllng special ser vice tire, " like all other Seiber. ling tires, is sold under he Sei- .lerllng tire protection plan, Mr. Zosel added. Under the- Seiber iing - tire protection plan, any Seiberiing user Is entitled to free repair for a full year, for every - 6,000 Seiberiing dealers through out the country. When a tire is injured beyond repair, a new one Is provided by- any Seiberiing dealer at one-twelfth the origin al cost if the accident occurs dur ing the first month;, .at. two- twelfths the original cost if it oc curs during the second month etc. r 5 "1 Sv w The Chevrolet exhibit ef new six cylinder models for 1929 has been thronged with visitor and the. center of Interest at all of the major Automobile Shows throughout the country Vlewe of the exhibit at the, San Francisco Show are shown above.

IWrhtoUl Associated Press Automobile . Editor DETROIT, (AP) The auto matic reverse brake, now bidding to a place as standard equipment on automobiles, was used s cruder form upon expensive cars of 2i years ago. The forerunner of the 1929 au tomatic reverse brake was a sprag. which was raised and - lowered manuaUy by a cable. It contributed to the safety of the automobile and passengers and was of mater, la! assistance In starting grades, because it eliminated the necessity of simultaneous release of brakes and engagement of clutch. " Starting a car on an upgrade for years has depended upon the skill of the driver, and' motorists a level cities and , country ' have , Iglren little thought to the prob- em. It Is the driver In hilly coun try who has sought an . aid to Uarting on an upgradeas well as something to keep him from slip ping should his engine stall. Engineers have been work Ing upon a means tof preventing re versed rolling automatically Jor more than two y.ears. The men who have perfected the new auto matic reverse brake say that they found a-marked Improvement In dsjvlng comfort even while driv ing in level cities with the new device,."-'. ' .. - Drivers alwars have taken it for granted that ft Is necessary to restrain the car from rolling back ward when stopping In traffic on slight grades, at street i intersec tions. The new 'device. Its design. 2fs say, prevents the car from roll ing backward and saves manipula tion of. the clutch or brake. .-, Practical tests of the latest Im proved automobile reverse brake Seven and Half Years Used to Reach Mark With "T" -7,000 Made Daily ' - DETROIT Production of the new Ford reached the first mll lion , this afternoon when Model A engine No 1, 000,000 came off the, assembly line in the Motors Building at tRe R-ouge plant-of the Ford Motor company. . The occasion was marked by the gath ering of officials of the company who have been active in the pro duction of the new car since its inception. - show, .according to the engineers' reports.: that it is durable and ef fective. Engineering analysis shows that the parts have ample strength to 'hold the car from backward motion on the steepest grade where the wheels will not slip; and dynamometer tests show that the horsepower loss caused by the drag of. the device la. nor. mal forward running ta belbout .2 horsepower at 2,000 resolu tions per minute. On October 20, 1927 Henry Ford stamped the figure -1 on the first Model s A motor, to be as sembled, and building of the new engine was ' under way.. It . was slow' aCfirst, but Ford so-ordina-tlon of Tmen, materials and ma chinery soon sent the output to higher levels, until It has reached the total of a 'million new automotive-power units, a remarkable achievement fdr the ' industry. : - IS Mosttbs Bequdred ' - The history of the Ford Motor company presents a striking con trast between this production rec qrd and that when ,the old Model r was introduced. f It required seven years and two months to produce the first' million Ford T motors, while the first million mark was obtained. From then on production greir rapidly, until In 1927 when the fifteenth mil lionth car was built.' the company bad facilities for producing two million Model T cars and trucks a year. Then came the decision to build a new car. Manufacture of the Model T, except for service psrts, ceased. The new Model A car -was developed. It was necessary . te change over all the plants to meet' the building requirements of the new car. New machinery had to be installed. Other machinery was specially designed, developed and built, and old machines- re modelled, ' all to meet, the closer limit and higher - precision den Prices Go Tumbling But Quality Improves 44 44 Cater pillar y ITesa - Caterpillar" Caterpillar" ONE PRICE TO EVERYBODY SAME SERVICE TO ALL f j INTERESTING LITERATURE FREE NO OBLIGATION Loggers & Contractors Machinery Co.
