The Michelin Tire Co. was represented in the Automobile Carnival recently held in New York. Their advertising float carried the Michelin Bibendum Twins, which are a huge mechanical device and said to have been hatched by an ostrich and nursed by a cannibalistic maid of Africa on a diet of nails and broken glass. This diet seems to have harmed them as little as such things do Michelin Tires — those marvels of tire durability.

The fourteen-feet-high twins carried off first prize in the advertising department.
