This is one of the latest developments made by Robert Wurzburg and the engineers who came fiom eastern tire factories to establish the Columbia Tire Corpor ation at Portland. VERNONIA MEAT MARKET “This particular size tire, the 36x 6, has always stood in a class by itself,’’ says Wurzburg. “It is used altogether on trucks and busses where it invariably is subjected to great abuse and overloaded.

This combined with the most careful hand workmanship and design, we believe is bound to give satisfaction to those who de mand extreme service from a cas- ing. According to President Wurzburg, the Columbia Tire Corporation en joyed wonderful progress during 1924. On its second anniversary this company can point to a remark- ble record—perhaps the most re markable of any of the newer com panies. It has a distribution now extending throughout the west and has particularly made great strides in Southern California which is a concentration point for tire com petition. 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 high ways. Apparently, the motorist is very friendly towards this new Western-built tire, which is en gineered and produced by a group of the most experienced tire men. Everyone concedes that most of the raw materials for tire building can be landed more easily on the west coast. Water freight, for instance, from New York to Portland, is less than rail rate from New York to Akron. And from a market stand point, it is said that 30 per cent of the tires produced in this country are used west of the Rocky, where as only 3 per cent are produced here. It is the avowed intention of President Wurzburg and his asso ciates not to sell C.T.C.’s on a home industry appeal. “Our first and only thought is to build the best tire that can possibly be manufactured. In our group of engineers, we have men who were connected with American’s largest tire factories. We were am bitious to put together our ex perience and build out here in the West one of the most modern type plants possible. <*That the end of our second year 108 W fat itron financial condition Ml ■ money-making basis, producting MM that are giving successful ser- MM Iff every part of the West, is Mtely good reason why we look upon the new year with much en thusiasm.’* Within a short time C.T.C. full balloons will be placed on the market giving the company a complete line consisting of full balloons, semi-bal loons, heavy-duty cords low pres sure standard cords, fabric tires and tubes.
