British Buy Many Autos In America

Tt) STAUT NKW FACTOItV. Tn line with its policy of expansion the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. ha.s started construction of a rim and wheel plant at Akron to have a capacity of 10,000 rims and wheels a day. The new factory will be a onestory brick and steel structure 250 feet wide and GC0 feet lone; and will accommodate 300 workmen. It is expected that the new rim factory will be completed about July 1. at which time the present rim department of C00 daily capacity will move into the new building. The remainder of the 200 acres will be used for storage warehouses and for the erection of large cantonment buildings, similar to those used by the United States government at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O., for the training of soldiers. Twelve cantonment buildings will be used as sleeping quarters, each building to accommodate 80 men.

LONDON, April 7. "These are critical times." is the conclusion of a writer for the London Times, who has been sent to America to investigate at ita source the danger of an American motor car invasion which will hamper the development of th British automobile Industry. "At the present moment the public, utterly disg-usted with the enforced wait for cars It ordered from British factories months aco, Is ready to buy anj-thlng which will convey It about Its business. In many cases British cars aro preferred, but the disastrous delays which have 0 nearly wrecked British trade have had their effect, and patriotism as well as personal Inclination are being sacrlnced. "Today we will buy anything we can get at ono And here lies the ultimate test of both American and British cara." It is the first impressions, gained from cars bought in a hurry, from whatever nation is able to deliver immediately, which will determine the future purchasing point of the automobile buyer of Britain, the Times writer concludes. So he gives warning to the British manu facturer: "There is no comparison between the American car of 1915 and those of ll20. a certain number have deteriorated, but the great majority of the better known makes have improved beyond all recognition. They are faster, more powerful on hills, better designed, far more solidly constructed, more comfortable and

enormously better looking. "At a normal rate of ei 1; mire and fre of the ?r l-.? pf.r cent duty their price.? would make them w-d"l nigh Irresi.-ilMe. As it is. and with our own prices monstrously swollen, they may prove to be a very re v! dansrer to the British maker. . "The class of American cars which will shortly tio coming to rfiis country in large numbers is lmmeasureably superior to any cla.ss that haj b-?en seen here before. "A considerable number of thso caxs have already arrived and art being rapidly Fold to a motor-hungry public They may be regarded nsthc pioneers of the army t' inasion. Their appearance at this ery criticnl period of our industry Is a serious matter."

The results a re nil in favor of the car owner: Quality at low cost; strength and scientific balance; car protection; long life; most milc3 per dollar. Stop tire shopping. Buy Fircitones.
