SCHOOL MEETING WAS
VERY WELL ATTENDED

ceeds w. E. Webb as Trustee.

The annual school meeting for this
district was held in the high school
building on Monday evening and was
we'll attended, the ladies being
especially we'll represented.
The sentiment seemed apparent, on
the part of the ladies, that it would
be more desirable for the welfare of
the schools to again have a teacher of
drawing and music, for the benefit of
the grade pupils. in lieu of the COM
mercial course which has been main
tanned for the past year or more, but
no motion was made or vote taken to
that effect, although there was more
or less discussion of the subject.
The ma tier of an independent high
school, which would cut the school off
from the state aid now extended, was
also advocated by some and discus
sion resulted in the Chairman, Hon.
David Schreiner, appointing Mrs. E.
M. Lowry. Chas. B. Zlegler and j.
L. Bennett as a committee to in
vestigate the subject and report at
the next annual school meeting.
VIM. E. Webb. who for the past
eighteen years has faithfully and

Goodyear Employees Own
Big Part of Factory

"Nine-tenths of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, Akron Ohio, is
owned by men who are employed in
the business" says F. A. Seiberllng,
president of the company. These
men who are devoting all their time
and their best thought to promoting g
the snccess of the company have
brought Goodyear to a foremost posi-
tion in the rubber world.
Another fact" continues Mr.. Sci
berling, ''is that nearly 200 stock
holders of the Goodyear Company are
men in the factory and statesmen scat
tered all over the commercial field.
These men, while working for the
best interests of the company, are
also working for their own personal
interests. Every man in the com
pany's employ-no matter his posi-
tion-is eligible to this ownership II
he makes good and proves his quail
ity. The position of ownership-dis-
tinctive of Goodyear-makes the com
pany's position impregnable.
I'm 1904, the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, working against
seven competitors in the field. did
about " per cent of the tire bust
ness in the United States. Today the
company Is doing 20 per cent Of the
tire business, or, in other words,
equips one of every four cars manu-
factured in America"
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
Profit Sharing

We believe that men work best who
have share in the earnings. And that
owners of the business are apt to best
serve its patrons.
So 134 of our leading men share in the
Goodyear profits. And the Company has
helped them acquire their stock.
Our branch managers are stockholders.
Thus our dealings with the public, the
whole country over, are being conducted
by partners.
In our factories, building tires, there
are 49 stockholders. In our Office there
are 33.
Ninety per cent of the Goodyear COM
mon stock is owned by the active men in
the concern.
Every voice in our policy, every factor
in quality, every creator of Goodyear repu-
tation, shares the results of his actions.
We know of no better way to insure
to our customers the service which we
intend.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
All Young Men

We believe in young men, and our
organization consists of them. The most
important man in it, in manufacturing
way, is So years old.
Thus the Goodyear concern typifes the
activity, the enthusiasm, the ambition,
the enterprise of youth.
Each mans career lies mainly before
him. So none rests on his laurels, none
is yet easing up.
Goodyear men, wherever you meet
them, are the kind you like to meet. They
personify intelligent activity.

A man prominent in football circles

He is Charles Kloppmeyer, who was a

Company. Associated with him in the
company are DR.. ]. w. Brady, who is
president Of the concern. D. C. Rich

Ike, from the same factory, has charge

Presidential Year Not
Affecting Motor Sales

That Presidential uncertainties are
not affecting general prosperity to any
great extent is shown by the remark
able demand for the best grade of, mo-
tor carriages and also for commercial
trucks.
The Packard Motor Car Company in
the two weeks ending July 81. shipped
255 cars whose total value was $1,275,-
CO. cars leaving the factory at the rate
OF twenty day. Fffty-six trucks We're
sent out in the same time. their value
being S196,O00.
Because of this urgent demand for
vehicles. officers of the Packard Mo-
tor Car Company are convinced that
the general situation is sound and are
providing for an increased output in
the early fall.

An employe Of the Saskatchewan Auto

lars.

The Washington times., 1912-08-24
Fairness and Truth

Above all, with these men we insist on
fair dealing, and on utter regard for the
truth.
Faults and mistakes are forgiven by
all of us, but unfairness and falsehood
are not.
Here lies, we believe, the chiefest
reason for the Goodyear growth. Wher-
ever you seek you'll find a boundless
faith in that what Goodyear people do.

side Of a hill. one side Of the machine
sank and the car turned completely over
three times.
The driver made, his escape with a
sprained wrist, and when he examined
his car the only breakages were in the
spokes Of the steering wheel, the upper
part OF the windshield, and the lining
Of the cover.
The car was righted and was brought
back to Saskatoon on its own power.
There was not even the loosening OF
the joints and bolts which one expects
In any serious accident to a car.
A new steering wheel was put on and
the car has been In livery work ever
since.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
Modest Capitalization

We believe that high cost of living is
largely due to the enormous volume of
watered stocks.
Fictitious capital, calling for dividends,
compels prices out of reason.
So we have clung to modest capitaliza-
ton, though this is the worlds largest
tire business. Not dollar of water in
our capital stock.
We count in our assets neither patents
nor good will. We have no bonded debt.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
District Adds Two
More Cars to Fleet

Two more additions &c the feet of
automobiles owned by the District Gov
ernment were made this week when the
Commercial Automobile and Supply
Company was awarded the contract for
furnishing two Studebaker "3O' cars.
One of the machines, touring car,
will be used by the surveyors depart
ment, and the other, which has panel
body. will be used by the electrical de-
partment Both cars were put in service
this week.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24

For our factories we pick the most
promising men who come from great
technical schools.
Every year our superintendent visits
the best of these schools, where he aims
to select the very cream of the graduates.
Thus we have gathered here, in the
course of years, an army of trained and
competent men. And the future of all of
them depends on better tires.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
Advance Speed Limit.

The old town of Westmoreland, near
Huntington, w. Va, has made a revo-
lutionary step and fixed the speed lin
its within it's borders at ninety miles
an hour, as is announced on huge sign
boards. The reason for this ordinance
is that lower speed limits are apt to be
ignored.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
Moderate Profits

We insist on moderate profits. Our
eventual interests, we are sure, are best
conserved in that way.
Our profit last year on No-Rim-C Cut tires
averaged 81 per cent. That's half the
usual in line like this.
The Washington times., 1912-08-24
Goodyear Popularity

Our monthly sales now just about equal our
years sales in the year 1909.
Last years output for the first six months was
l86, ,307 automobile tires. This years output,
for the same six months, came to'4SS 1888 tires.
This has largely come about through what
motorists said about Goodyear tires and methods.
Those are eloquent figures to answer the ques-
ton, do ideals in business pay2'
The Washington times., 1912-08-24

And that in business where costs are
cut to the minimum, by enormous output
and modern equipment.
In rubber tire business, with fuctuat-
ing materials, that's a margin as small as
one dares to accept.
