ing and boxing. One manufacturer makes a container for 

 inner tubes, the "Efficient" inner tube box, for which it claims 

 especial superiority. The covers are practically dustproof and the 

 heavy quality of stock used, as well as the attractive printing, 

 makes the boxes good-looking and durable. — Gereke-Allen Carton 

 Co., St. Louis, Missouri. 



A NEW DISK WHEEL 



The disk wheel has been cliaracterizcd as the only wheel ever 

 designed exclusively for motor cars. The "Miiltidisc" wheel is a 

 detachable wheel with demountable 

 ^^—^^ rim in combination and has, the maker 



A^^A claims, many superior advantages 



I ^^^^1 ' over other wheels of the type. A 



cross-section, shown' on this page, 

 may be easily understood by refer- 

 ring to the letters. A, standard de- 

 mountable rim. making it easy to 

 change tires and eliminating the neces- 

 sity of carrying an extra wheel ; B 

 and C, four inside aluminum disks 

 supporting from four angles, make 

 l)o.ssib!e a combination of utmost 

 strength and light weight ; D, re- 

 moving six bolts screwed into driving 

 lugs demounts the wheel ; E, specially 

 designed aluminum hub cap adds 

 greatly to appearance of wheel; H, 

 entrance to valve, optional either in- 

 side or outside of wheel ; K, aluminum 

 tapered hub bearing, making it easy 

 to demount wheel ; M, felloe con- 

 struction of aluminum, held together 

 by thirty J4-i'ich bolts; a special 

 hub for each make of car. "Multi- 

 disc" wheels impart to any car that 

 air of speed and substantiality which 

 is already expressed in the modern 

 stream-line design, and their beauty is 

 excelled only by their strength and

A FOUR-SEASON TOP 



"How many lives has a Ford?" is the pertinent inquiry of 

 the manufacturer of the 

 "Faultless" top for auto- 

 mobiles. Equipped with 

 this top, a car can be 

 used with comfort in all 

 four seasons, it is claim- 

 ed. The "Faultless" top 

 is made in styles to fit 

 Ford and Dodge cars and 

 is constructed with steel 

 and hardwood frame, 

 covered with the best quality ^g-inch "Neverleak'' rubber fabric. 

 The top and sides are well padded to give proper shape and a 

 rain trough is provided to prevent water dripping on the sides. 

 This top can be set up without the aid of a mechanic, as complete 

 instructions for installing accompany each top. — The American 

 Auto Top Co., Pittsburgh avenue and Belt Railroad, Delphi, 

 Indiana.

RUBBER INK ROU. IN THE ADDRESSERPRESS 



A new system of mechanical addressing is used in the Address- 

 erpress. A stenographer can stencil the address cards on her 

 typewriter without resorting to the expensive embossing machine 



necessary with many addressing machines. Another practical 

 feature is the ink roll of soft rubber that presses the ink through 

 the address cards, giving equal pressure to each letter. This 

 overcomes the uneven addresses so frequently seen in mechanically 



addressed matter. — The 

 Elliott Company, 44 Albany 

 street, Cambridge, Mass. 



POPULAR RUBBER HEEL 



That rubber heels were 

 never more popular than at 

 the present time is attested 

 by the demand for the "Co- 

 lumbia" heel, a new product 

 of a Massachusetts rubber 

 company. Put upon the mar- 

 ket less than six months ago, 

 the maker says that salesmen 

 have been requested not tc> 

 show samples until equip- 

 ment to turn the heel out 

 faster can be secured. The 

 Columbia heel is well made 

 of high quality rubber. — Taunton Rubber Co., Taunton, Massa- 

 chusetts.
