Show MOLD GIVES TIHITIOI Says Motorist Should Keep Off Car Tracks, and He Should Know. "It is a common sight to see motorists motor-ists driving their cars on the street car tracks," said "W. S. Theobold, local manager of the United States Tire company, com-pany, yesterday. "Although this makes riding easy and is sometimes necessary in order to pass other vehicles, or in avoiding bad pieces of road, it is one of the worst usages that a tire can possibly pos-sibly be subjected to." One of the greatest ideas for the benefit of the motorist has been originated orig-inated by Mr. Theobold., who coaches the employees of his service department to explain these points to the motorist whose tires show signs of abuse, and in this way saves the car owners hundreds hun-dreds of dollars by the warnings. "The amount of money rubbed away on the car tracks would astonish anyone any-one if the true sum could be known," Mr. Theobold said. "Tires which are under-inflated are more in danger of injury in-jury than a properly. inflated one. Bending Bend-ing and squeezing of the fabric when the weight of the car brings the tire against the sharp edge of the rail tears the layers ariart and separates the tread from the faoric" beneath. If the motorists motor-ists will bear this simple suggestion in mind and keep off the car tracks they will notice an appreciable saving in tire bills." |
