.Michelin Tire Representative Says Everybody Has PIoney Down in Dixie.

"1 have never sren any territory so wide awake and up ami doing as the south is today," said Mr. iubien. "The very atmosphere is d:ff rent from what it was a few years ago.

why Miller Tires fire AH Uniform

Any maker who pays the price can get the same superquality of raw material. Also the same machinery, for machines are standard, too. But uniform workmanship governs uniform mileage, and will as long as tires contain handwork. If the workmanship varies, the mileage is bound to vary. In the'Miller factory every workman is first trained to a championship standard. He signs every tire he makes. If ever one comes back, his score is penalized. This method has brought to Millers what every tiremaker sought uniformity. It is simple to make tires look alike. But only in Millers can you be certain that they will wear alike under the same conditions. GEÄREDTO-THE-ROAD Not only are Miller Tires uniform in mileage but they are the only tires with the famous tread that is Geared-to-the-Road. This tread has many cog-like feet which mesh with the ground. That means positive traction no loss of power from slippage. It keeps the wheels from spinning when you start your car, and this saves tires from being scuffed and "burned." This is a really scientific tread that conserves power and assures greater safety. No other tires have this patented feature. PMSSEY-PFUNDSTEIN CO. Distributors 133 E. Jefferson Blvd., Cor. St. Joseph St. Phone Main 2413.
