A Simple Tire Repair

Punctures in the well known Morg-an & Wrig-ht tire are mended about as easily as a man would close a hole in his finger with a bit of court piaster. Inside of the inner tube of the tire lies a strip of patching rubber, like this : By injecting M. & W. quick-repaif cement through the puncture into this inner tube, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, like this, the repair strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, like this ; Very simple, but - now every rider should remember these two "buts," or he will fail : Before injecting cement, pump up the tire. If you don't, the inner tube will be flabby, like this, and the cement will not get inside of it, where the repair strip lies. When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may damage it comsiderably.
