One of the latest interesting aysteins for converting discarded pneumatic-tire covers into detachable jackets is that for which Scott's Economizer Co., of Bromford Lane, .Erdington,near Birmingham, is responsible. The London representative is Mr. Horace J. Tyler, of 90, Farleigh Road, Stoke Newington, N. Users of light vans, who are desirous to reduce working costs, may care to communicate with the company or Mr. Tyler, in order to learn how far the Scott tire-economizing system may be applicable to their conditions. More Business Than Usual.
"The Austin Advocate" for October, which has come to hand, takes as its text "More business than usual." The following is an extract from the leading paragraph:
" Our factory has been inspected by the Government and very much approved. We have received orders from the War Office for 700 limber wagons and 200 ambulances. These are all of the horse-drawn variety, and a factor in obtaining these orders has been the extensive Btock of dry English ash and oak which we always maintain for carriage-building purposes. The War Office also commandeered 10 lorries, and ordered a sample Austin-Curtis aeroplane engine, which has successfully passed all tests and just been delivered. Quite apart from Government work, we have a large number of orders for industrial vehicles. Colonial trade is fair, except from Australia. To stun up, we have the largest number of orders on our books we have ever had at one time, and their monetary value is the highest on record."
This wait written before other even more extensive orders were placed with this enterprising company. We are not, as yet, at liberty to disclose particulars of this last-mentioned business, however.
This concern's facilities for carrying out quick repetition work are second to none.
