MAKERS CONCENTRATE ON DETAILS TO MAKE MOTOR CARS POPULAR

"This is the a.e of detail In automobile manufacture. " declares Mr. Frank N. Nutt, chief engineer of the llayncs Automobile Co., Kokomo. It;-!. "A few years npo automobile engineers and designers were bendlnjr all their efforts toward the perfection of the enplne and the car's mechanism. TJie details of finish and the viribus refinements of th' car were secondary. The carbuylnq public looked under the hood of the automobile, and if the engine was up to their expectations th rest cf the car was taken for granted. "Today the engine and the mechanical features of the car especially of those produced by large and recognized companies are looked upon by the public as having attained a presupposed standard of j erfectlon nnd the nttentlon of the purchaser !s turned toward the details of construction, finish, tit tin--; s und appearance. "Heauty of line, th comfort of the peats, the design and elegance of the flttincs, riding qualities of the nr. width of the doors, eis-' of operation, nnd many other detail. are the primary factors today governing th purchaser'. ch.oice of car."

TRACTION means the art or power of drawing. FRICTION means the rubbing together of two

ATTRITION means grinding down, or rubbing cut. liver since automobile tires were tirst made there has been a constant struggle between manufacturers for supremacy in the maximum Traction qualities and the minimum of Friction and Attrition. Firestone tires rightfully claim title to this enviable supremacy. That is why you get Most Miles Per Dollar when you equip your car with FIRESTONE Tires, Tubes and Accessories.
