Mr. Baehr already has offers to take his produ.tii when he is ready to maket it, showing the willingness and anxiety of auto manufacturers to equip their machines with this wheel instead-of the wooden one. The result of the meeting this evening will largely determine whether the company will come to Monongahela or not. It is within our reach if we will only take advantage of the opportunity presented. Wire wheels are no experiment.

They have been tried and found to answer every demand made upon them, and to be more economical than wooden ones. During the day a sample wheel has been on exhibit in front of the Robinson real estate office, giving our people an opportunity ta see junt what this wheel is, and its method of construction.
