style tires In this sect.on. When
they took over the property a t
their location in the form er
Claycomb Oil company propery
am ong some other tires, tney
found one, size 20 x 400, one
out of style years ago. Mr.
Wilson thought tn a t 102» was
about the last year th a t ta r s
using th at style and size of a
tire was m anufactured. Any
way, the tire of prew ar rubber
was in the stock and S aturday
afternoon, came a telephone
call from Medford asking If
they happened to have th at
size. They did and the Medford
buyer prom ptly took It. Mr
Wdson says It is the last for
the m anufacture of this size
has been discontinued several
years ago. There are a few
cars on the road using th a t slz<
but when their present tires are
gone, they likely will have to
take their cars off the road.
Beieve It or not, P atterson
and Wilson have one older tire
a used one they will sell, size
30 x 3*4. and th at does go a
long ways back, to the heyday
of the model T. There are a
lew trailers using th a t size,
they say.
