Come ARE CO. NOVEL CONTEST FOR NAMING .1 THE MICHELIN TIRE MAN The Clarendon Motor Co., the lo. eal Michelin Tire dealer is very en thusiastic these days over the nation wide contest now being conducted by the Michelin Tire Company offering $1,000.00 in cash and sixty-five other prizes for securing a suitable name for the interesting , tire man which has been a feature of Michelin adver tising for many years, and whose an tics have amused countless thousands of people. It seems this tire man already has a name, but the Michelin Company' feels the name is not exactly suitable because it is not a name easily un derstood or remembered, in short the Michelin Man is known as Bibendum, but while Bibendum is a good name in some countries, it is hardly suit able for American use. The story about the original nam ing of the Michelin Man takes the reader back'to France where the mod ern pneumatic tire had its. birth place in the Michelin Works at Cler mont-Ferrand, a city of 70,000 busy people away up in the mountains in the South central part of the great Republic beyond the seas. ' The story goes that the Michelin Man was de veloped from a crude idea suggested by a workman in the Michelin fac tory. This workman noticed that a pile of tires, carelessly assembled, bore a crude resemblance to a man. He mentioned this to a member of the advertising staff, who later developed the idea, using tires of different sizes. The services of the celebrated French I cartoonist O'Gallbt were then called in, and soon the Michelin Tire Man became a reality. About the first public use of the figure was on a poster where the Tire Man was shown holding a goblet con taining broken glass, horse shoe nails and other terrors of the road, evident ly in the act of proposing a toast, the, wording being "Nune est Bibendum" which is Latin for our more familiar expression (before prohibition) of "Here's How." From that time for ward the Michelin Man was known abroad as Bibendum, this name being considered appropriate, because Michelin advertising bore the message that Michelin Tires "drank" or ab sorbed the shocks of the road, and also such obstacles as bits of iron, broken stones, and so on. The rules governing the present contest are very simple. All.the con testant has to do is of cour first find a suitable name for the tire man I and appropriate slogan or phrase of not more than ten words. This sounds simple, but it isn't. No won dier the Michelin Company is willing to pay $1,000.00 in cash for a good name for the famous tire man. Never theless the company feels that a good name exists, and is willing. to pay this considerable sum to secure it After selecting a name and phrase the ! contestant simply mails them to the Michelin factory at Milltown, New Jersey, sometime betweep March 1st and March 25th. The contest closes :n March 25th and names sent in af ter that date will not be considered. Of course the would-be contestant should first learn all he can about M'chelin Tires and the Michelin Man before he starts cudgeling his brains for a name and phrase. To help him he company has provided the Clar mdon Motor Co., the local Michelin lealer, with circulars telling all ibout the House of Michelin. The Clarendon Motor Co., also has )rinted postcard forms for use send ng names; and while it is not neces ;ary to secure either the circulars or ,he contest cards, both will help the ontestant in his efforts to annex the housand dollars offered for the best mme and slogan. The Michelin contest is being adver ised all over the country in news a pers and such important publica ions as the Saturday Evening Post, rho Literary Digest, Life, andl so on. rhe Michelin Company believes in the >nower of adver'ti sing th rough print r'~s ink, as most everyone knows.
