Mr. Jacobson is the inventor of the process by which new tires, called Leo Jacobson "tires, are made from old, worn-out worn-out casings, at a saving, according to , Mr. Jacobson, of 50 per cent. Mr. Jacobson invented his process af- ter fiftepn years of struggle, and the nucleus of tne entire process is the Leo Jacobson mould, weighing from 1000 to 1800 pounds, and which curries seventy-five seventy-five pounds of ttenm for heat purposes. The old tires go through an extensive course of preparation before thev go into the Leo Jacobson mould and the heat of the steam works a niracle in connection with the mould itself. "With the Utah Tire Moulders company com-pany and the Idaho find Montana Tire Moulders companies already under way, Mr. Jacobson is receiving scores of letters let-ters daily from prominent men in. the automobile and tire industry throughout through-out all the western states, who want to contract with him for the use of his mould and process for remaking tires. There is every indication that brfore the present year is up the Utah Tire Moulders company of Snit Lake will be the parent concern of at least a dozen big companies operating the Leo Jacob- 1 son moulds and tiro remarking processes j throughout the we:t. j |
