Instructional piece by William H. Stewart Jr on tire care and maintenance for car owners. Emphasizes proper tire inflation, avoiding underinflation, inspecting cuts or openings, keeping tires free from lubricants, and understanding rim types and demountable rims through diagrams.
The article explains how underinflated tires cause fabric stress, heat, bruises, and blowouts, and stresses proper installation. It surveys rim types like solid clincher and detachable demountables, plus maintenance steps, rust treatment, and lug tightening. It also notes a Maxwell car with Goodyear cord tires achieving 45 miles per gallon on a test run and mentions a Porto Rico ice dealer using an electric motor truck to reduce melt loss.
A San Antonio group of motor car and accessory dealers voted at a Travis Club luncheon to close sales rooms on Sunday June 25 and gas stations on July 2 and thereafter. The Fisk Company and other concerns not present will also observe Sunday closing.
