Someone is selling a book on Ebay titled "Keeping Up With Your Motor Car". It dates to 1917. That, alone, isn't very important, but I thought that a couple of you might get a chuckle out of one page in particular that the seller highlighted in his listing. It's about tire repairs on the road and it shows some available devices to get you moving again:

I have early auto trade magazine from 1910 that contains more tire repair ads than you can imagine. One of the most expensive wear out items of that time were tires. One of the discussion items in the magazine was the decrease in the price of tires and how good that would be for the auto industry.
