That the condition Of the Rockville

were in a deplorable condition and
should be remedied. Behind him was
a strong delegation IN favor OF taking
the entire sum of money appropriated

roads and using IL on these TWO high
ways. The speaker referred 10 one

Save Your
Tires

"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine" is an
old but true saying, applying to the
preservation of various articles, but
none so forceful as to rubber tires.
The slightest little cut on the surface
rubber down to the fabric will as sure
cut the life of a tire in two as day fol-
lows night, and many times cause the
tire to blowout inside of a week or
two. Here is where a stitch in Time
Saves Nine"
So many people fail to take the first
''Stich-in-T Time that we found it nee
essary to devise a tire repairer, which
will take the first stitch, and, if not
taken in time, is also large enough to
take nine stitches.
Being the first inventor of a tire re-
pairer suitable for carrying in the tool
kit of an automobile with which any
one-not versed in the art of tire vul-
canizaton-could repair tires without
debating or removing them from the
wheel, we feel sure that in our stitch
Nine vulcanizer we have produced
repairer which cannot be surpassed or
equalled by all other similar devices
combined in range of work, method of
heating or application to the tire.
Our ''Stitch Nine Vulcanizer is so
far superior from every point of view
to any other portable vulcanizer offer
ed for sale, that there is no compari-
son either in price, utility or method
of heating. There is no other vulcan
izer made which has more than two
faces, and none, which has come under
our observation. that works as sue
cessfully on all sizes of tires, and on
every part of a tire. Don't forget this
fact, and allow yourself to be influ-
enced by lot of extravagant asser-
tons which cannot be proven.

The firm of Warner & Potter. Sixth

surries, carriages, wagons and farm
machinery, are perhaps the largest
dealers of their kind in Kansas, and
are exclusive agents in Topeka for
many of the best manufactures of
these lines in this country. There is
hardly a resident of Topeka or Shaw
nee county who has not aat some time
or another dealt with this firm, and
their reputation for square dealings
has won for them a patronage that is
the envy of their competitors. Just
now their stock is complete in all
lines, and people contemplating the
purchase of vehicle or some piece
Of farm machinery will find this an
opportune time to buy.
