Vancouver Man Motored 5, 159 Miles Without a Mishap. | Vancouver. | ing did not | coast John H. Cocking, 875 Bernard street, Vancouver, travelled in his car equipped with Dunlop tires all the way to Toronto, 5,169 miles of actual motoring, without a tire mis- hap. Mr. Cocking left his home Au- gust 24th, 1921, and arrived in El- mira, N.Y., September 19th. The speedometer of his car registered, 3,975 miles between the two afore- mentioned points, but before cover- ing the additional 315 miles between Elmira and Toronto, Mr. Cocking motored around New York state to the extent of 879 miles, making the grand total 5,169 miles. The famous Haney-Wilby trip on Dunlop tires in 1912 represented a journey of 4,160 miles--Halifax to So that while Mr. Cock- actually drive from motored 1,009 to coast he {miles farther than such a trip com- Throughout the years which have marked a decided development in| the automobile, from the time when it wag still a curlosity till now when it recognized as a most import- ant factor in the economic life of nations, countries and communities, there has also been a corresponding development in pneumatic tires and tubes. In fact it might be. said that the two have gone hand in hand. To- | day the quality of tires being placed on the markets is far superior to anything that was ever anticipated. It was not so long ago that in the; mind of the daring motorist there was always that {fear- which arose fn the question; 91 Wonder whether I'll get there an, back without hav But now the story has changed for the Tnotorist, the truck owner, too, has a confidens that his tires are going to give hin gervice day in and day out, just as long as he treats them right and does not them to hard knocks and blows. Often it is wond ered how it is possible for the tire to stand up under such usage as it ig gots. ing tire trouble?" subject som jut when certain facts are taken into consideration there is a reason for this and it all goes back to the manufacturer who to-day is building not only a tire but building a service into the tire. This has been particularly exemp- lified in the product which is being turned out by the Dunlop Tire & Rubber Goods Company, Limited Not many months ago an incident was drawn to the attention of the company which indeed proved to be another 4riumph for the Dunlop tire, * DUNLOP TIRES ALWAYS STOCKED jtour THE BIG MILEAGE COMBINATION DUNLOP TIRES AND VULCANIZING BY JOHNSTON 70 Princess St. Tel 88lw prises, Mr. Cocking's solely for pleasure, fact the Dunlop people did not know of his intentions until he came into "ip last fall was their office at Vancouver to discuss | The course was | through the United States almost en- | itirely, and in at least one case a de- | of which there was a multi- | Dunlop cord tires. tude-- was for 50 miles alone, One {can gather some 'idea of the road | condition by noting Mr. Cocking's | own remarks: "Shortly aftér leaving Seattle we | entered the famous Pass. The road ascends here to an altitude of 3,010 feet. The gradients experienced were extremely short and steep to a degree. The road bed was sirewn-with' loose rocks as it was under construction at different places." Again: "This section of the trail (in Idaho) passes over Bitter Root Summit, the highest point »{ the road is very hard on cars, be- ing strewn with loose boulders. These, coupled with the hard rock surfaces at different point, makes their impression on springs and tires." And further: "It might be well to mention the detour of detours. This started beyond Billings, Montana, and ran northward on the trail of the prairies. As the crow flies we de- scribed a great half circle and travel- ed over 50 miles before seeing the main road again. Just think of it! Fifty miles practically out of our way.

" It | was only a few miles from Miles City [that we again joined the road. At | this place we made our camp for the night. { On the following morning we |again started forth. Like the preced- {Ing day detours seemed the order of itravel. On these detours we ford- ed creeks, crossed open gulleys, {stretches of grass land and through isoft earth roads,' In a few words practically every kind of road condi- tion that prevails in summer was ex- perienced. During each day the tem- perature was extremely high, and | with the rough going we fully ex- | pected tire troubles, From Milles A ri City to Baker is 121 miles by the main road. However, detours were so frequent that after a hard day's driving, during which we traveled 149 miles, we were only able to ac- complish 'the actual trail distance given above. "From Baker we continued on the next day in a general easterly direc- tion. I say 'general' because of the same old detours. It was here that we had our first experience with the justly famous 'gumbo.' As you know this stuff is a sticky mass that ad- heres to everything. It fills in be- tween the spokes of the wheels un- til one would think they were discs of mud. It cakes on under the fen- ders until the wheels are actually running in grooses. Quite natural- ly it adds many pounds to the car, and is the last word in a motorists' muddy nightmare." , ™ This might be certainly called a) wonderful triump, but let Mr. Cock- ing sum up the situation in his own words: © "You will be pleased to learn that the Dunlop tires I put on the Dodge | in Vancouver stood all the greulling and climatic conditions of my trans-! continental trip most admirably, and further, that they reached Toronto with a supply of good Vancouver air in them." Mr. Cocking used Dunlop cord} tires taken from regular stock. But as Dunlop points out, regular stock means "double life, high mileage." | Few men ever wear their trousers | out at the knees praying for work. | Property unlawfully acquired should be given up without edo.
