One guest, whose dog is a dainty,

seemed greater and greater as he

When she finally accomplished it,
with the help of the chauffeur and

How Mr.. Soldering
Favors Factory Workers

Some important problems have been
worked out in the immense Akron fac
tories. f. A. Seiberling. President of the
Goodyear Company. believes that every
family should be enabled to own its home.
Mr.. Seiberling has the reputation OF liv-
ing up to his beliefs. and in this matter
he has made no exception. This is what
Mr.. Seiberling did:
The Goodyear plant lies at the eastern
edge OF the city. Mr.. Soldering purchased
80 acres OF land at farm prices. This
he had plated into lots; then streets
were laid out: then trees were planted;
and a small lake within the allotment,
he gave with its grounds to the city as
a park and playground.
Then Mr.. Seiberling asked for plans for
houses-fguring on groups of 100 houses
at a time. The plans soon followed. The
first hundred houses are 10 be built al
once. as soon as spring opens. The homes
will range up and dow in price and In
elegance. but all of them will be modern
beautiful and really honey. Contracting
for houses by the hundred obtains a rock
bottom price.

BY p. r. HINCKLEY
Who Will Own These Homes?

These houses are to go TO Goodyear
workmen at actual cost; farm land cost
for the lot-and pro rata cost for houses
contracted in 100 lots. The workman SIM
ply moves into the house OF his choice
and pays the equivalent Of rent: the rent.
in this case. applies or the purchase OF bis
home. In ten years a Goodyear family
man accustomed TO paying rent glides into
the ownership Of a beautiful modern home
alrnsst without knowing it - certainly
without feeling the cost. Think what 1t
will mean to these fortunate families to
suddenly wake to the realization that
their home Is their own.
OF the four hundred and fifty acres of
land purchased, every acre Is available
for the Goodyear family allotment. All
the land will be developed as the demand
grow-and the beautiful hillsides and
valleys east OF the Goodyear plant will
soon be dotted with homes.
Il want every Goodyear workman to
have his own home" says President f. A.
Seiberling, who has personally made the
enormous investment necessary 10 develop
the allotment plan. II realize that IL is
often an uphill struggle for the worker
to obtain n home of his own. especially IL
he has rent to pay at the same time. My
plan is TO convert the rent into home
payments-and TO provide the homes at
cost. My pay? It's a plain matter OF
business. Home owners are contented
and make better workmen. The man who
can and will settle down TO paying for a
home has more character and ability than
the man without ambition. So the work
man and Company both profit by the
transaction"
The plan as worked out will mean a
saving for men who buy homes that range
from $500 to $Z.e0A, according TO the size
of the house. This saving is based upon
regular Akron real estate prices.
