Hekz's Anti Skidding Tire. 



[The stec-1 studs art carefully imbedded in fabric and rubber, as indi- 

 cated in the illustration. Their use avoids the deleterious effect of leather 

 upon rubber tire covers. These tires are made in Austria, the sole agents 

 in the United States and Canada being Herz & Co.. No. 203 Lafayette 

 street. New York. J 



The Crescent Removable Rim. 



_ (This rim, called formerly the "Harburg," for holding a spare inflated 

 tire for quick replacement in case of a puncture, fits close on the wheel, 

 but does not bind where it oueht not to. It is as immovable and unaffected 

 by road shocks as a permanent rim. By its use a complete tire change 

 can be made in three minutes. The Crescent Parts Co., Broadway at Fifty- 

 sixth strtet. New York.] 



TiiF. McKiNLEY Removable Tire Holder. 

 [The attachment to the car fixtures is by a bayonet locking device which 

 does not require the use of any bolts or nuts. The jaws can be extended 

 for one or two tires, and the foot pieces are furnished in two forms, the 

 plain used with a strap and the other of solid metal suitable for locking 

 the tires. The Baldwin Chain Manufacturing Co., Worcester Massachu- 

 setts. 1 



HE MoTZ Tire Applying Tool. 



[By the use of this tool it is stated that a Motz solid or cushion tire 

 may be applied or removed in about the same length of time as a pneu- 

 matic. The tire can be put on only in one way — the right way. The 

 Motz Clincher Tire and Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio. ] 



New Motz Non Skid Cushion Tire. 



[The old sliape tire of convex tread with concave sides has been changed 

 in the New Motz to a concave tread with supi>orts on the side, thus elimi- 

 nating the skidding and rocking difficulties. The Motz Clincher Tire and 

 Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio. ] 



Kimball Steel Tire Armor. 



[Made of flat steel links hooked together, put on over the tire and hooked 

 to the rim, or held on the same way as the tire. Each section is 2 inches 

 w ide at the tread plate. About 50 bands or sections are required for a 

 32 inch tire. The armor prevents tires from bursting. Kimball Tire Case 

 Co., Council Bluffs, Iowa.]

[Inserting the Tool.] 



The "Ever Ready" Tire Tool. 



[This tool "roll.'-," round the circumference of the tire through the turn- 

 ing uf the crank. The corrosion of parts often prevents tires from being 

 detachable, but this offers no trouble when the "Ever Ready" tool is used. 

 When not in use this tool can be folded up in small compass. Auto Im- 

 provement Co., No. 316 Hudson street. New York.]
