Williamsport Sun: August 28, 1944 – Auto Club to Sponsor Tire Display Here Today

The story of how proper care and driving will produce long mileage on synthetic and recapped tires will be given to a group of interested people at dinner in the Lycoming Hotel this evening, while in front of the hotel the tires will be on display to the public.

The Lycoming Automobile Club is the host this evening to the American Automobile Association’s “Keep Em’ Rolling” car that has traveled more than 25,000 miles testing new and repaired tires. The car will arrive about 5:30 p.m. from Wilkes-Barre and will be parked in front of the hotel until it is time to take it to the baseball game at Bowman Field where it will be put on display.

Traveling with the car are W.W. Hubbard of the public relations staff of the AAA and Douglas Timmerman, a former executive vice president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce and is now affiliated with the AAA in Washington.

The two men will speak at a dinner meeting at the hotel, at which Mayor Leo. C. Williamson will be presented with a memorial scroll on which is set forth eight suggestions for wartime conservation and four for post-war traffic facilities.

A 15-minute program will be presented tonight on WRAK radio at 10:15 in connection with the tour.

The car remains in Williamsport overnight tonight until 10 tomorrow morning when it leaves for Lock Haven.
