GOODYEAR TIRES At
ANTE-BELLUM PRIck1

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber 6s
announce mo war prices on GOODYEAR
Tires" Mr.. F. A. sieberling. presldSnt
OF the Company. thus explains t1eir
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, ~
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost In q day crude
rubber rose In New York from IS cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
1.-THE New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick Of
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900.
600 pounds Of the finest rubber.
THAT big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best Of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade Of
rubber and the same amount of It as
we always have used In these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts Of men. twenty-four hours
O day. So long as we remain In this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply the users at before-war prices
to the limit Of our capacity"

S. K Caldwell Makes a Find that
Takes Him Back to 1864.

In the year of 1864 most of this
country was an unfenced prairie
and was one of the finest grazing
places on the globe. S. X Caldwell
was cattle dealer at New London
and frequently drove herds of cat
tie to the wild prairie west of Gen.
ter where they remained until ready
for market. 1t was a day when
everyone used the branding iron
that he might be able to identify
his own cattle. Once in going from
New London to the prairie Mr..
Caldwell lost his branding iron.
Tuesday of last week he found the
old branding iron while assisting in
grading the road on the prairie
west of Center, and he says that
the iron has marks of Identification
that makes him know it is the one
his father lost in 1864, fifty years
ago.-Perry Enterprise.
