ILL LEW
Pactory Guarantee Withdrawn From Tires Treated With
"Puncture Proof" Solution; Reo Engineer Though
Builders of "Sixes" Says "Fours" Will Lead
and Names Five Passenger as Popular Model.
By BUCK.-'
i L. PAbO tire dealers have Issued a thai profe&Mun.
H trarnlns to motorists against the
- use of a liquid preparation to be
-Jected Into tires on the guarantee
mat it Trill prevent punctures. Some
tf the shops hare gone so far as to
- fuse to even make repairs on caslnss
and tubes so treated.
The use of this preparation tmme-
d ately voids the n-akers' guarantees
on all standard t'rs" said manager
. Z. Silversparre of the Boss Rubber
t-ompany. "Our guarantee is imme-a.-tely
wltMrawr on all KellrSprins-
f'eldc ad hartfords so treated '
C. Booth of the Quick Tire Ser-
ves states tht his company has had
-cue experienct with this "puncture
proof preparation and that he has
sued a warning to all U. S. tire users
)iat tlie guarantee is withdrawn from
ill tubes o.- casings treated with this
preparation.
vviuch motor trill predominate the
sit ' or Uie "four?" If you ask a
Jealer the chances are that he will
pick the 'sU. particularly if he is
filing a six cylinder car. But we oc-
asionally find some interesting dope
n the factory publicity which comes
m Duahes and is used sparingly. R.
Rueshaw of the Reo factory is
'he author of some dope on the "four-
mx ' controversy and his statements
'it of interest. Here they are:
-FoniV Will Lead.
"Jt a dangerous thing to become
Vown i- .i prophet but it's a-fasrl-t
j. ing oct upation at that." says Mr.
uetbVk 'and having hit the nail on
tl'c head twice in succession I'm m-
c1rd to tempt fate aain.
1 course .1 piopht-t i" onlv a
p hi i h i - as he i& riRht. so n
n ' in? tht following p-opheiv I take
xl'j ill ince on losing ni standing m '
In this cast however.
it looks to me as if It isn't a prophecy.
but just a simple deduction.
"I'm going to predict that four cyl-
inder cars will froni now on and for-
ever more dominate the field. Con-
sidered in the light of the fact that
the pact vear lias seen more multi-
multi cylinder cars than ever before:
we've had a plethora of 'twelves' ana
'eights- not to mention the 'six' winch
has become standard in the larger
Kizes. still I maintain that all signs
and portents point unerringly to the
four" as the standard car of the fu-
ture. "When vou get right down to brass
tacks you will find that there neer
was any engineering or mercantile
reason for cars above four cylinders.
-lx for Ill- Curl.
"In saying that I'm not forgetful
of the fact that a very large propor-
tion of the Reo output is sixes." 1 am
certain that the 'six will continue to
be popular with a certain class of
buyers. It will always be popular with
that class of people who want a car
of exceptional passenger capacity. No
I didn't say speed because as a mat-
ter of fact all world's speed records
are held by 'fours.' But when you
come to passenger capacity say for
seven people it is better engineering
practice to add two cylinders than to
increase the bore of the four sylinders
you already have.
"But the seven pasenger car will
not be the standard automobile. The
five passenger car will alwavs be that
because the average famil Is five.
And that is why I say that the 'four
nill dominate from now on.
'Of course beinsr an enterrrising
people and prone to fall for anything
in the form of a noieltj. we Ameri-
cans had to atisf that propensity by
first experimenting with cars with as
many cylinders as we could think of.
Ve always do th't TVe always carry
things to an illogical c.iclu-ion before

Henry Ford has long conducted a
weekly news film which has ben
shown all over the country. He has
o-eided on a new scheme of "educa-

Automobile factories are growing so
modate all who desire to make their
headquarters there. The Saxon has
outgrown its present plant and will
iroe net June to a new site on the
western outskirts of Detroit. So many
buildings arc required that construc-
tion has already been started.
Though Kl Paso has small need for
enclosed cars it is of interest to know
that the Kansas City dealer for the
Haynes recently received a full train-
load of enclosed Haynes models for
clstomers in Kansas. But there's some
difference between winter weather in
Kansas and in 1 Paso.

A $5000 Design For $1090
Most moderate priced cars lack distinction or the
luxurious touch. The body lines are severe the up-
holstery stifFand uncomfortable the details of refinement
conspicuous only by their absence.
If you have condemned the inexpensive car on this
count please make it a point to see the Pai&e Fleetwood
"Six-38" at once and prepare to be amazed.
This' model offers the most exquisite body design in
America and all the motoring luxury that the most dis-
criminating man or woman could demand. It is a
smaller car than the more expensive models to be sure.
But that is the only difference Size.
