WAGONI/VHEEL TIRE OFFERED New Product of Goodrich Made for Horse-Drawn Conveyances. According to E. B. Oscars, manager of Goodrich Silvertown Stores, Inc., Delaware and North-sts, the B. F. Goodrich Cos. announced a new product which is named Goodrich Silvertown wagon wheel. It is a pneumatic tire specially designed for wagon wheel service, on retail delivery wagons. A complete assembly of Silvertown wagon wheel tires, wheels, axles and brakes, referred to in the Goodrich announcement now makes it an easy matter to change over from present equipment to the new and modern "wagon wheel'’ installation. Application of pneumatic tires to milk and other horse-drawn wagons had its inception about three years ago, and steady development of this idea has finally resulted in this utterly new tire specially designed tor this service, as w r ell as complete new’ asemblies for changeovers, the manufacturer says. Tread and sidew’all of the new tire are designed to give maximum resistance to wear over a long period of time, and to resist deterioration caused by long exposure under all kinds of leather conditions. Ordinary tires used in thus type of service will rot out, rather than wear out. Sidew’alls are extremely tough to resist curb chafing. Tread design

is shallow', because on gravel roads at slow speeds a deep tread design tends to pick up and hold small stones much more than does the new tire. Tires are of nominal crosssection with adequate capacity rating for retail delivery service. Several types of standard wheel assemblies are available, each a complete unit, w'hich make this type of changeover very easy. Three types of wheels, steel disc, wire or malleable iron modified disc may be selected.
