British Action on
Rubber Draws Fire

ued price fixing of rubber by the
British authorities under the revis
ion of tba Stevenson set, as an
nounced In dlspatchea from London,
will mean continued conservation In
tb use of rubber by American con
sumers. Early In Decembor the American
Aotbmoblle association, the Nation
al Automobile chamber of commerce
nd the Itubbcr Association of Am
erica,' together with the department
of commerce, undertook the rubber
conservation campaign as tho result
of artificial control, having raised I
prices to over fl.00 a pound agalnstl
a production cost of less than 20
cent pound. . I
.figures on tbe result of thla cam
paign through surveys of production
and slocks mndo by (be Itubbcr As
sociation of America and tho de
partment of commerce allow that
automobile user reduced tholr con
sumption of tlrca almost exactly 25
pdr cunt below the same period a
yosr ago, and thla despite the In
crease of nearly 3.000,000 In the
number of automobiles running.
Tire consumption since tho cam
paign started, aa compared to the
preceding four months shows a re
duction' of SB per cent, only part of
'Which It nttrlbutnblo to the season
able factor. Unofficial statistics
show further that the use of tiro
repair malorials haa had a large In
crease over the same period of a
year ago, Gasoline consumption
figures show that the mllea run by
automobiles have not decreased.
'Another effect of the continued
price fixing will be to 'stimulate
production of rubbor In othar parts
of the world, and Jt will assure the
continued effort of the Amerlunn
people to secure American controll
it supplies of rubber.
Representative Lorlng Dlack of
New York, In a speech In the houae
of representatives, culled attention
iagnln to the Urlllsh rubber mon
'opoly., and daclarod Hint a protest
should be entered Immediately by
'the United States departments of

If That Old Tire Is Going Flooey,
BUY SEIBERLINGS
.
As a enr driver you know by experience that the side - of the tire is
usually its weakest point. Many a tire is worn threadbare on its
9ides, or develops a side hole long before the face of the tread is
gone.
t
Seiberling tires meet this difficulty. Their side wall protection,
secured by extending the toughest of treads completely down the
sides of the tire, defies the ruttiest of roads.
REMEMBER
A Hole in a Tire Wall Is a Hole in Your Pocketbook

What la
record for
mm SATISFACTION
The most obvious proof of Olds
mobile value is increased sales in
every section of the land. That is
the natural response to inviting
prices, winning beauty, quality con
struction and superior performance.
But the true measure of Oldsmo
bile value is the enthusiasm of its
owners, and to their repeated ex
pressions of whole-hearted praise
, we frankly attribute a considerable
proportion of Oldsmobile's increas
ing sales.
