How Mr.. Seiberllna
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. Seiberling purchased
45O 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
& park and playground.
Then Mr.. Seiberling asked for plans for
housekeeping on groups Of 100 houses
at time. The plans soon followed. The
first hundred houses are to be built at
once, as soon as spring opens. The homes
will range up and down in price and in
legance, but all of them will be modern,
beautiful and really honey Contracting
for houses by the hundred obtains rock
bottom price.

RavarIan Love Charms.

Both boys and girls in Bavaria,
when they have made choice or are
desirous of better acquaintance with
a member of the opposite sex, arm
themselves with charms to inspire love
and affection in the other. The
myrrh is regarded as a most potent
love inspirer If worn next to the skin
in the vicinity Of ones heart, this
probably on account of its supposed
relationship to the myrtle, which in
Bavaria and other German speaking
countries takes the place of orange
blossoms on the wedding day.

There is a wonderful difference in
this world between the house that Is
simply a place to live in. with four
walls and a roof, and the house which
is a real home. The difference is not
so much in the house itself as In the
combined effect or union of the house
with its surroundings, There are GER
tain styles Of architecture that seem
to blend naturally with shrubs, vines
and flowers. With such house any
work done along the lines of amateur
landscape gardening seems worth
while, for every nook and cor
ner of the yard, every lowering shrub
and every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems to add to the cozy,
home-like appearance of the place.
This is one of the surest tests we
hare OF excellence in architectural
design. Some houses never seem to
be at ease, or in accord with the site
on which they are built. Every ef.
fort to improve and beautify the
grounds serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardhess

sity the very heart and center of the
whole picture. A welldesigned resi-

tage costing but a few hundred dol
lars or a splendid residence costing
many thousands, seems to harmonize
and blend with its natural surround
ings.
In this connection 1t may be re-
marked that the use of cement plaster
has done perhaps more to bring about
this desired union between the house
and grounds than any other building
material. The sand cement and grav-
el from which the plaster is made be-
ing from earth products seem natural
ly to harmonic with lawns and shrub
berry. What could be more restful and
inviting than the cool, silver gray, the
natural cement color, contrasting with

Here are few noteworthy features OF
modern factory MANAGEMENT as worked
out by the Goodyear administrative force.

ders in building up Goodyear spirit and

the future, workers everywhere who want
to do better, are looking toward Akron
the city Of opportunity. Applications,
both written and in person-from experts
from apprentices-from men and from
women-are pouring mall to be care
fully considered by Mr.. Johnson. Yet so
many are the stations to be flied and so
many are the kinds of work to be done
that the positions have scarcely begun to
be filled.
These recent Developments have made
Goodyear stand out as a notable example
of modern methods of management. On
the whole, the Goodyear Family is happy
family. 1t has already attracted experts
and apprentices from all over the country
and now there's room for 1000 more!
Contentment is seen on every face-the

ALL is settled-peace and prosperity now
prevail among the Goodyear workers.

Who WIN 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

and pays the equivalent of rent the rent,

viii 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
grows-and the beautiful hillsides and

soon be dotted with homes

The plan as worked out will mean a

of the house. This saving is based upon
regular Akron real estate prices.
No "occupatIonaI Diseases"
Goodyear factory buildings are modern,
with plenty of light; pure, cold drinking

ditions as agreeable as money and care
can make them. There are no "occupa-

Men of skill earn $3.50 to $500 a day

four to six weeks. Hundreds of men from
