This fabric, rubber-impregnated, II
built up with layers of pure rubber,
into the backbone of the tire. The
sides are reinforced with strips of
rubber, making the body strong where
the strain will come - eliminating
the chance of rim trouble. The tire
is finished with the thick, tough
Goodrich tread.
This is the specially compounded
rubber which must meet the grinding,
wearing, humping, bruising contact
with the road. And it does it.
All of this-backbone and tread,
side-strips and bead-isconverted into
a one-piece tire in the Goodrich unit
molding.
Our principle of unit molding was
the crystalization of our twenty-seven
years of experience with rubber before
we made the first American clincher
tire. This principle demonstrated its
exactness at the start; We have never
changed it.
In our unit molding the tread and
body become one-a unit.
The tread being of the tire, and not
simply put on it, naturally does not
peel nor strip.
Water and dirt cannot creep under
it to ruin the tire and place you in
danger.
The whole tire being a unit, you are
insured long, uniform wear. You are
free from the risks caused by weak
spots and dead places from over-vul-
canizing which cooks the life out of
rubber.
II you were to study a cross section
of a Goodrich Tire you could not
detect layer line or separation. 1t
isn't there. Our unit molding has
unified the whole tire.
Your tire dealer will supply you with
whatever style of Goodrich Tire is best
for your needs-but they are all one
hind and quality.

you how to get the most and best SER
vice from your tires by avoiding the
common causes of injury.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Although the general commercial
and industrial situation throughout
the Inland Empire has shown no
marked developments during the past
week, conditions are characterized by
a steady volume Of business that in
dicates a confidence in the future, and
little fear as to the result Of the pres
ent tariff legislation. One of the great
est factors in u%pholding this optimism
is the splendid outlook for cerial
crops. A greater r has been sown
for this year than at any time during
the past, and the constant precipita-
ton of rain has insured it against
damage from dry weather during the
hot summer months.
Industry in railroad construction, IT.
rigational projects, mining and lum
bering are well up in activity. While
operations in the construction of
buildings are somewhat conservative,
a comparison Of figures for this month
with those Of the corresponding period
last year shows a steady increase, and
indicates a general readjustment
and growth of affairs on a firm basis
Declines during the week have been
noted in strawberries, new potatoes
onions, and hogs. The advances were
in beans, oranges, apples, peas, as

Our mothers could judge merchan-
disc values, but shoppers of the big
city stores To-Day cannot. Shoppers
now are long" on style and short
on values. AS an English writer said,
Nowadays people know the price OF
everything and the value Of nothing"
Under the regime of the small store,
clerks were conversant with values
and the atmosphere of democracy al
lowed discussing merchandise merits
with the customer, SO that a shop-go-
ing trip was education.
So widespread has cheating in
weights and measures and merchan-
disc become that a federal law has
recently been sought to stop it.
The shopper who buys only from
her home merchant is more thrifty
than she who buys from mail order
houses, for in the former case she is
not hypnotized into buying from
clever e~ngravings and deceptive de-
scriptions of merchandise in mail or
der house catalogs. She does not in
crease her order to make up a ship
ment." She buys less when she buys
from her home merchant, because she
buys more nearly her wants. Thrift
and economy more often follow home
patronage, while prodigality in buy
ing is the habit of the patron of the
big city mail order house.
THE truth u.s." said a Chicago big
store manager to the writer, "tha
better values can be secured by {
woman in her home store for thu
same money than in the city store
and if she will allow her home mer
chant to prove it, she will be wise.
and richer" Other managers of BIZ
city stores have also said that mel
chandise a be purchased cheape
from local merchants than in tn
stores Of the big cities and, as a stu
dent of this subject with years of e1
perience among both wholesale an
retail stores, the writer declares thai

Fine Remedy
For Eczema
Also for Salt Rheum, Tet-
ter, Psoriasis, Lupus,
and All Skin
Affections.

All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood circula-
ton a good daily bath. This is accom-
plished with S. S. s., the best known and
most highly recommended blood purifier
ever discovered. Its action Is very rapid.
Its vegetable nature is such that it nat
uraly goes right into h blood, saturates
the entire circulation, bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the skin
to heal quickly. The action of S. 8. 8. 1s
that of ar antidote, N this fact has
been demonstrated time and time again
in the most severe forms Of weeping
eczema.
It's influence in the tissues where the
tiny arteries transfer the red blood for
the worn out blood to the veins is quite
remarkable and goes on constantly with
every tick of the clock-the beat Of the
heart.
And new skin is thus caused to form
while the germs of irritating influences
that cause eczema are scattered and their
harmful nature entirely suspended.
S. S. S. has a wonderful tonic influence
in the blood because it contains no
dope" is not a physic, is entirely free of
any mineral drugs or any other drugs
except the remarkable medicinal effect of
the pure vegetable products of which 1T
is made.
Few people realize how harmful are
many of the strong, crude ointments that
used to be in favor before they learned
that S. s.. S. is safe, speedy and sure.
Ask at any drug store for q bottle of
S. S. S. Give it a good trial and you will
soon see a decided improvement in any
form of skin trouble. Write to The Swift
Specific Co., 100 Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ca,
for special free advice on eczema and any
other form of skin or blood trouble.
Do not allow anyone to palm off a cheap
substitute for S. S. S. You will be
grievously disappointed If you do. There
is nothing else Just as good as s. S. s.

HOW TITS Being WORKED IS EXPOSED
Local Merchants Must Combat the

Large. handsome catalogs from

of the home merchants.

Get the goods from any other source,
and in many cases the home dealer
really gives better value for tne
money. There is no article OF ordl-
nary use that the home merchant can
not buy in the open market and there
is no living man or concern that can
materially cut the price OF any artlcle
without cutting the quality. Local
merchants are not entirely blameless
for not holding the trade at home that
rightfully belongs to them. 1t IS up
to them to convince the public by ad-
vertising and progressive business
methods thai they have the goods FOL
cala and at fair DriceS.
1t is conceded that large cataloe
houses have an advantage l buying
power over the small local dealer, but
this is nowhere near so great as Is
popularity supposed. The difference
between ordinary wholesale quantities
and the largest quantities bought by
catalog houses is not ordinarily more
than five to ten per cent and this ad
vantage is offset by the greater ratio
of selling expenses or cost OF doint

Mail order House Tricks.

Much has been said about the
methods of the mail order houses in
securing business. Geo. B. Irving has
summed up some of these in the fol-
lowing article in my Town:
The mail order house is partly re-
sponsible for the introduction of un-
desirable merchandise.
The methods Of these stores are to
place on sale grades of goods a little
off in intrinsic value, but which look
"just as good" The mail order house
avoids selling trade-market brands OF
merchandise SO far as possible be-
cause it cannot iuggle prices for such
big profits in these goods.
The demand by mail order houses
for catchy merchandise at low prices
has forced manufacturers to substi
tute false fabrics and imperfect ma
terials for what the public thinks II
is buying. A wooden mill was visited
not long ago by the writer in which
there were three lots of raw materials
wool, cotton and shoddy (second
hand ibers). That factory is known
as a wooden mill, but it might just Al
logically be called a cotton mill. Tit
guilt of this deception lies in no small
part on the big city store. which hai
forced manufacturers to produce de
ceptive merchandise "to satisfy tn
public"
