Tire Prices, Demand, and Competition in 1924 Outlook
Using 1913 as a base the Babson chart shows an 7 percent below normal activity in 1924 with only three fifths of the readjustment completed. The tire price index sits around 72 versus 118 in 1920 and a low 62 in 1915. Competition among firms intensifies as demand for equipment and replacement tires remains curtailed by reduced purchasing power.
