THE BATTLE OF
THE TIRES
[Agricultural anfl Commercial Prcaa Service}
It is investing to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twentieth
Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
.there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con- I
flict but the results are more farreaching
to present and future generations
than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuvering
for point of attack for several
years and has captured a few unimportant
.positions in traffic, but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurling a million
"jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean

struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. If it is compelled to retreat,
its doom is sealed, but if it wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
If the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth is on, for iron is the undisputed
master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1814, but it was 18C9
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. It took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
on?

The roadbed was already prepared
and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
it has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
of defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recovery.
The rubber tire first made its appearance
on the bicycle, but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel In luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma*
