CLUBS OPPOSED TO AUTO FOR EVERY

(By NKA Service)
WASHINCTOX, March 7. Fol

"4. Jnaurnneo expertit claim It

result in advance of Insurance rntcs.
"o. It is impossible to nscertuin
how many owners and drivers of
automobiles urn Irresponsible or what

NEW YORK, March 7. "The
number of automobiles that thia na

Thus does Leonard I. Ayrea, fam

Chevrolet Line
Draws Interest
More Interest was aroused by the
display of the new Chevrolet line at
the New York rfiitomobile show than
has been accorded any new car in
troduced for more than a decadf.
according to veteran automobile men
who have been present at the greater
majority, if not all. of the 25 national
automotive exhibits held in the east
ern metropolis.
Opinions f both experts and the
general public followed the same
trend first of admiration and then
the puzxled question, "How can the
Chevrolet company do it at the
price." The exhibit was visited by
practically eWry automotive repre
sentative present Friday nnd Satur
day, the two days referred for the
trade, and it proved the mecca for
the general public through the eight
davs following.
The general beauty of the line was
most commented upon. The new
somi-elliptio springs and longer
frame vied with the new lines and
roomier bodies in exciting praise.
The 1 uco finish in colors for all
models was another feature favorably
commented upon. In fact the general
remarks of show visitors clearly
showed that the plain black enameled
automobile will not find much favor
with the car purchaser of 1025.
Chevrolet factories are working
day and night to lull capacity to sup
ply ine uemanti tor the new cars. If
the reception tendered the first
showing rtf the line is a criterion.
iiesc superior models will smash the
high records previously, made.
Saturation Theory
Is Tapped on Nose
The annual bugaboo of saturation
gets another knockout wallop, this
ttme from Heorge II. Townsend and
b. A. Sieberling, both well known in
accessory and tire industries.
Townsend gives three reasons
why there will be no saturation of
automobiles. They are:
1. Replacement of used cars re
quires 1.050,HKi new cara annually.
J. 1 here are always new custo
mers.
It. The two-car man Is comine
into prominence.
Sieberling adds there will be no
saturation as long as children are
born. For every baby is a prospect.

big C. T. C. 30x0 heavy-duty pneu

latest developments made by Robert
Wurzburg nnd the engineers who
came from eastern tire factories to
establish Ihe Columbia Tire corpora

"This parlicual size tire, the

itself." says Wurzhurg. "It is used
altogether on trucks and busses
where it invariably is subjected to
great ah use and overloaded. We have
not made this size until now. because
wo wanted to complete an engineer
ing study of this particular size based
on observations and tests extending
over a period of years.
In the construction of our heavy
duty tires for truck and commercial
purposes, wj have placed no limit on

concentraiton point .for tire competi
tion. .
.Since C. T. C.'s came on the mar
ket, their popularity has been much
in evidence as witnessed by the many
orange colored tire covers that are
seen on the streets and highways.
Apparently, the motorist is very
friendly towards this new western
built tire, which is engineered and
produced by a group of the most ex
perienced tire men. Everyone con
cedes that most of the raw mater
ials for tire building can be landed
more easily on the west const. Water
freight, for instance, from New York
to l'urtland, is less than rail rate
from New York to Akron. And from
a market standpoint, it is said that
30 per cent of the tires produced
in this country are used west of the
Rockies, whereas only 3 per cent are
produced here.
It is the avowed intention of Pres
ident AVurrburg and his associates
not to sell C. T. Cs on a home-Industry
appeal. "Our first and only
thought is to build the best tire that
can possibly be maaufactured. In
our group of engineers, we have men
who were connected with America's
largest tire factories. We were am
