P. Good rich company brough a laugh from H. M. Baker, Goodrich district man ager .according to Jack Anstey, bud get manager of Lewis Super Service station, local Goodrich dealer. It asked for nn adjustment on tires, or "tyres" as the English have It, that have been In service 37 years, since 1900! The letter follows: "Dear Sirs: I nm In trouble with some of your tyres. . They leak gradually and not through the valve. They are rather old, being single-tube tyrea of 1900 date of manufacture. They are on a Locomobile steam car that I am overhauling for a famous collector In this country, R. O. Shut tleworth of Old Warden Park. Biggle swade, Bedfordshire. He Is very keen on using these same tyres on the few runs that are made in this country every year to show how motoring used- to be.

California, Arizona and Ne vada, automobile clubs and tourist agencies of thU nature -favored area are all set to go. Astounding Is the statistical Infor mation compiled to prove that In 1937 there will be more motorists, and these motorists will travel father than ever. For Instance, here a some in formation reaching Albert E. Horn, jr., the Oregon division general man ager of Oeneral Petroleum corpora tion, who says: Approximately one hundred fifty- three million dollars ($153,000,000) was spent during the psst year In improvement of main highways, county and state roads and city streets in these five states. This gave employment to approximately 25,000 men at an average of $6 prr day. five days a week for S3 weeks. Sales of new cars have been going up month by month at an Increase of better than 30 percent. Replace ment tire sales In the west have reached an all-time peak, according to U. 8. tire dealers. Number of cars registered in Washington. Oregon, California, Ari zona and Nevada la now approaching the three million f3.000.000) mar.V jammed bumper to bumper, they would make a solid line reaching 8.500 miles. Sales of gasoline have been In creasing constantly, with a gain of more than 12 percent In 1938 over 1935: requests to our automobile clubs from middle westerners and easterners, asking for travel Informa tion have been shooting skyward. with a gain of more than 30 percent In recent months. 'Traffic summaries taken at state bordare quarantine stations during 1938 spring and summer touring sea son revealed an increase over the previous year of 49 pereent in num ber of foreign or out-of-stat cars. "Most startling of all statistics. proving that the people of our own are are traveling more and travel ing farther, ta found In the stat border records of all cars, not count ing stages. This traffic Increased more than 78 percent last year. We are In a great and growing motoring area. No wonder, when one considers the matchless scenic beauty of the far west and the vast sums spent In highway, motor car, tire and gasoline and oil improvements, plus better tourist accommodations in our many cities and resorts." E OF What Summarizing means la bent explained by the following questions and answers, propounded and answer ed by local General service station operators, who now offer thla service: Q.Why should I have my spark plugs tested and cleaned?

Have you any useful ideas on how to treat these Internally to cure their porosity? For Instance, how about putting a half-pound of thick rubber solution In each tyre?" Goodrich la sending Mr. Stack a special compound developed by Its technical men. which It hopes will preserve the tires for several more years. After all, keep a satisfied customer feeling that way.
