The article describes the tire manufacturing process in Waterloo by the A C Stewart Auto company. It details forming the inner tube with a triangular shape, adding clinch and multiple fabric layers, applying a breaker strip, cushion layers, side rings, and muslin wrapping, then steam cooking for 40 to 60 minutes before cooling and removing the core for use.
The article notes Waterloo product superiority and widespread use by Waterloo auto owners. Stewart Tire Co expands beyond local sales, shipping to other cities as it emphasizes first class rubber and myths about aging rubber. It describes tire manufacture: a wheel sized core wrapped in fabric, then clinch formed by solid rubber circles.
A dealer describes washing a motor car as an operation needing strict care and presents rules to follow. Never use soap on the body, avoid sponges on the body until dirt is removed, keep cleaning tools clean, use separate sponges for body and running gear, and rinse thoroughly. Do not pressure wash a newly painted car and avoid over washing to protect luster. Remove mud with a hose to prevent scratches, and adjust water temperature to season and car condition.
Mason Motor Company, led by E. R. Mason, aims to raise output to 1 600 cars in 1913, with a single chassis line and a forthcoming surprise. Demand has risen, including a Texas dealer seeking 500 cars, while the firm expands the two cylinder model to a four cylinder five passenger car. Milwaukee public works report 360000 tons asphalt laid in 1914, with a 50 percent increase planned next year.
The article outlines washing a car by first rinsing the body with a hose to remove dirt, then scrubbing with a regular motor car soap that won’t harm varnish. Run gear is treated with soap suds and a sponge, followed by rinsing both body and running gear, then final drying with a sponge and chamois. An hour is typical for one man, while two or three speed the process significantly.
