and the inventor of the Sterns auto mobile inner tube, announced this week that definite plans have been made assuring St. Louis' entry inte this new line of industry. Sterns is a St. roulsan and Is well- known in local automobile circles. having teen identified with this, in dustry in many years.

He is the in ventor of numerous products manu factured by the Efficiency Oil Cor poration. Thre years ago Sterns turned his efforts to designing and making an automobile tube which would be absolutely puncture-proof, and yester day a number of St. Lou'isans inter ested in the automobile industry and to newspaper representatives he demonstrated at the Automobile Row branch of the Efficiency Oil Corpora tion, 3213 Locust street, a pneumatic tube which he claims will revolution ize the present day methods of tube manufacture. i ne sterns tuDe is in appearance like other inner tubes. Lut is constructed of a patented black rubber material which is positive proof aganst punctures and blow-outs and Is to be sold to motorists under a fac tory guarantee of 20,000 miles at price slightly higher than tha charged for other tubes.

The construction of these tubes them unusually resilient and they are intended for either pleasure 0 cai or light truck usage. They re quire 40 per cent less air inflation and. there is but a slight difference in their weight and the weight of other good quality tubes. In demonstrating his product Sterns subjected It to several severe tests, one of which consisted of drlv Ing nails entirely through the tube and removing- them without the loss of air, proving beyond doutt Its $1295 puncture-proof qualities. Sterns also stated that recently an endurance test was conducted in which cne of these tubes was run on a rear wheel of a 1500-pound truck, which Vacuum System covered a distance greater than 48,000 relies and he claimed that when re moved the tube was still In good con diton.

During this test only three casings were used, bearing out a More Miles Per Gallon claim made by Sterna of added casing 11 If life through the use of his tube. The Sterns Tire and Tube Co. is the nam of the concern which will pro duce these tubes and it is the inten tion of officials to begin operations as soon as possible. They expect have their product ready for sale in St. Louts within 90 days and early 1 the fall work will be started on th erection of a large factory upon the 10-acre tract adjoining the Efficiency Oi Corporation plant, near Suburban Gardens.
