HIGHER SPEED WILL REDUGE TIRE MILEAGE ‘©The facts cited by the A.A.A. are based on the record of the emergency road service departments of 958 motor clubs throughout the United States and Cu.nada These records show that motorists who formerly obtained from 15,000 to 20,000 miles from tires now secure only from 8$,000 to 10,000 miles : ‘‘The â€" salient featules of â€" the changed driving conditions that have lowered tire mileage, in many cases as much as oneâ€"half, are summarized as follows: There was a time when motorists bragged loud and long if they got a mileage with tires beyond the three figcure mark. Then a little later it was somehing to lboast about if a tire did not cast its tread or rim cut irreâ€" parably within 2,000â€"mile guarantee. Then tire mileages mounted rapidly, reaching, in some eases, thirty thouâ€" sand miles and more, with ten to fifteen fairly commonplace., Thenâ€"hbut here‘s the report of the national motoring organization of the the United States: *Although the automobile tire has undergone _ constant _ improvement, both as to fabric and structure in reâ€" cent years, tremendous changes in driving conditions have gréatly deâ€" creased the average mileage obtained, according to the American Automoâ€" bile Association. "1. Highâ€"powered engines that perâ€" mit greater speed. ©2. Increased traffic, necessitating more stops and starts. 3. Improved acceleration, tendâ€" ing toward tire abuse. ‘‘4. More powerful brakes that erind off treads. "©5. Smaller diameter wheels, neâ€" cessitating more frequent road conâ€" tact for tires. 6. Improved roads, â€" permitting higher average speeds. "Greater mileage can be secured from the presentâ€"day tire.

The small diameter wheels have more ‘action‘ as they make and break conâ€" tact with the road. increase in the number of cars registered has also had a telling effect and has resulted in greatly conâ€" gested streets, with a resultant gain in the number of starts and stops as siznal and traffic lights are obeyed. ‘*Acceleration quickly from a halted or slowâ€"moving position is another evil that greatly affects tire mileage, as it results in the sliding of wheels. and stopping, and who keep the wheels of ‘the car in proper alignâ€" ment, will undoubtedly obtain satisâ€" factory milage. In 1928 the driver of every car will largely determine his own tire costs. ‘"It is estimated that the average speed on the open road is from ten to fifteen miles per hour higher than two years ago. _ At continued high speed, tire slippage is much greater due to swerving and axle bounce, reâ€" sultiny from road inequalities. Thereâ€" fore, it is important for tire users to realize that tire mileage is decreased as the speed is increased. ‘"Steady increase in the number of cars registered has also had a telling effect and has resulted in greatly conâ€" gested streets, with a resultant gain in the number of starts and stops as siznal and traffic lights are obeyed. ‘‘The advent of the ballon tire has made proper inflation an item of paraâ€" mount importance. In the days of the highâ€"pressure tire, the sole was stiffer and ample leeway was allowed by the manufacturer for those failing to keep them at the proper pressure. Under inflation or overâ€"inflation of the modâ€" ern tire has a telling effect in decreasâ€" ing the mileage. ‘‘Temperature also affect mileage. In Canada and the northern part of the United States tires give about sixty per cent. more mileage than in the southern states."" Titâ€"Why does cream cost more than milk ?

TYLE, beauty, luxury, power, smoothness and agility . . . these are facts which McLaughlinâ€" Buick owners have weighed to their satisfaction. Every item contributing to McLaughlin â€" Buick long life and performance has been proved on the General Motors Proving Ground. The improved McLaughlinâ€"Buick valveâ€"inâ€"head engine has been proved better. It has been proved that the Sealed Chassis with Triple Sealed Engine increases McLaughlinâ€"Buick efficiency and longevity that the counterbalanced Crankshaft, Torsion Balâ€" ancer and Rubber Engine Mountings prevent vibration . . . that the Lovejoy Shock Absorbers neutralize road shocks. McLaughlinâ€" Buick has won its reputation upon FACTS. the average is from ten higher than THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Eighteen models, distributed among three series which are designated by their wheelbase lengths, make up the MeLaughlinâ€"Buick line for 1928. Sftecial interest attaches to the Mcâ€" Laughlinâ€" Buick exhibit this year, by virtue of the fact that Buick, alone among all manufacturers in its field, has completed its 2,000,000 car, thus gaining undisputed leadership among cars of more than foux eylinders. There are seven models, designed to meet a wide and varied range of reâ€" quirements, in Series 115. Series 120 includes three models, and Series 128 the remining eight. A new car in the line this year is Model 47â€"8, the fiveâ€"passenger town brougham of Series 120. Its mechanâ€" ical specifications are identical with those of Model 47, but nickelled headâ€" lamps, and several modifications of body _ treatment, _ including â€" landau hinges and a special handling of the interior, make luxury the dominant note in this model. A point about its line on which McLaughlinâ€"Buick lays heavy stress is the uniformity of engineering and mechanical detail, as well as of comâ€" fort and operating ease, throughout the entire line of 18 cars. Difference in wheelbbase length, and consequentâ€" ly in weight, are the principal distineâ€" tions between the ecars of Series 115 and those of Series 128. Thus the 1928 advances which have resulted in MeLaughlinâ€"Buieck‘s xeâ€" cord shattering sales are, without exâ€" ception, found throughout Series 1135 as well as in Series 128. Among them are hydraulie shock absorbers front and rear, in conjustion with reâ€" designed cantilever springs on each model; ,adjustable steering column with light controls centralized at its top; reâ€"designed steering wheel to fit small as well as large hands; new double lock on steering column, and wider deeper windshield for greater saety in driving.

The overâ€"all measurement between bumpers is 175 inches. _ The road hugging design has been developed without sacrifiee of elearance or headroom, although the roof of the closed models is but 70 inches fxom the ground. The road clearance is 8 5â€"9 inches. Seven models are included in the line of the New Canadian Oakland Six.
