Michelin Tests
The Weight Test
No. I
It Stands to reason that the mileage which you get out of a tire
depends very largely on the amount of quality rubber and fabric
which it contains. About the best method of determining the
quantity of these mileage-giving materials is to weigh the time.
Extra weight almost always means more rubber and fabric. !
In selecting tires, therefore, have your dealer weigh for you j
all the different makes you are considering. And, everything else
being equal, give your preference to the heaviest in quality mate
rials.
MICHELINS 12 TO 15 PER CENT HEAVIER.
If you make this test you will find an astonishing difference
in tires. For instance, nine popular non-skids (34x4 size) weigh
as follows:
Michelin_26 lbs.
Second Tire_25 lbs.
Third Tire-22(4 lbs. j
Fourth Tire_22 lbs.
Fifth Tire_22% lbs.
Sixth Tire-21%lbs.
Seventh Tire_21 lbs.
Eighth Tire_20 lbs.
Ninth Tire_18%lbs.
Concerning all the non-skids made, the Michelin Universal
weighs 12 to 15 per cent, more than the average^ the percentage
varying slightly with the size of the tire.
This extra weight due to more quality rubber and fabric means
that conditions being equal you should get extra mileage from a
Michelin. Yet Michelins cost no more than ordinary tires.

It’s a Good Idea
v | j ,\i-4
To buy a new piece of furniture every now
and then, and thus keep the home looking
new, fresh and up-to-date.
Few families can expect to furnish the home
anew very often, but anyone can keep it
always looking well furnished and in keep
ing with the taste of the day by replacing
of the most wornout and out of date articles,
I one or two at a time.
Why not take an inventory of YOUR home |
furnishings and lay your plans th’s year or 11
the replacing of those things which have |
outlived their usefulness? j
Keep your home looking new, fresh and up
to-date.
