{ meant? Something was different, that's all. § Something was missing, wrong or changed. . ji "Bob Cassady shook his head and resumed work on a tire. Then it hit me. The hammering and pounding Was missing. The guys were using a pew gadget to change tires.

Tricks and Quirks of Business

CHECKING AIR PRESSURE on tires hadn't . ¢hanged. McCall grabbed his gauge arid sped over to the Kurtis-Kraft Special. Pete had to go double time to get the caps off the valves. «while I'm thinking of it, Bert, why do you guys tear out so fast when a car pulls in?” oh? It doesn’t do a high-compression motor any good to idle in front of the shop for any length of time, eh? “Why don't they turn them off. when they pull up?” Too much trouble, eh? every business. The tire changers aren't sure whether the Weaver-Day' Tiremaster machine cuts down the time it takes to change the casing and tube, but "they are all agreed it saves a lot of wear and tear on the muscles. Pete sald a real fast tire changer can take off ~gnd remount a tire in 30.seconds if he has to and he wasn't sure, but, the time with the new gadget would probably run about the same. They hadn't taken any time tests. ; “No time to take any time tests,” Pete added. “Customer,” called Bert. Talking to the men was like talking to a cashier in a busy cafeteria. One minute they're working and the next they're on their hands and “kneex checking: some driver's ‘tires. or a “""Bob Cadsady let me get a good look at how the Tiremaster works. Don't get the idea it takes all the manual labor out of the operation, it doesn’t. A wheel is fitted over a vertical business that resembles an axle. It's tightened into place with a wing nut the way the mechanics do on the cars. Then a bar is inserted into a slot on the breakdown tool and locked in place with a cotter pin. Of course, the bar is wedged in between tire and rim. You knew that, didn't you? OK.

Broke Away Easy as Pie

NO POUNDING, beating or cussing from then on. All Bob did was turn a handle and the tire broke away from the rim as easy as pie... . i. “Hey, don't you save the valves or valve caps?”

~NEW YORK, May 24-1 niy no: stocks, I own no bonds, but I think I can tell you what happened to the stock market when it took that rec-ord-busting bounce a week ago. I've been down to take tea with the oracle—friend of mine named Baruch. Bernard M. alias Uncle Sam. * Knowing what happens to markets has been s mecialty of Mr. Baruch’s. It 1s why he ain't poor. Uncle 8am says the revival of the market is the result of an upswing in national cheerfulpess. Maybe we're a little bit relieved. It seems there has been a long, long path of pessimism in America, compounded of war-fear, future-fear, inflation-fear, depression-fear” . ; any old fear. Mr. Baruch believes its ingredients were the cold war . . . a happy phrase invented by Herbert Bayard Swope and passed on to posterity by Mr.. Baruch—what the old gentleman calls a continuity of pessimism, or national down-in-the-mouthness, and daily subjection to the people known as power-misers. A power-miser, by definition, is a highly-placed poobah whq is convinced mankind can’t make it without his guidance, and whose only claim to fame is an uns blemished record of having always besh Wrong. This despondency, activated by, the daily threat of doom, bit so deeply into the market that securities which were selling for $20 a throw could prove up that much money in cash assets. well apart from the real backlog of products and property.
