No More Ants
How One House Was Kid of This
Household Pest.

Every woman who is troubled with
house overrun with ants will be IN
terested in the experience of house
keeper in Oakland, California, who
suffered terribly from this pest. Not
only was the kitchen and pantry alive
with ants, but the insects appeared to
be increasing in number at an alarm
ing rate.
Learning of a paste prepared by a
baker in Los Angeles-who Lad a
similar experience with ants-the Oak
land housewife obtained some of the
preparation, with the result that in ,
days she was unable to find an ant
in the entire house
Everyone will be interested to know
that this remedy can be obtained at
any drug store It is put up undef
the name of kellogg's Ant Paste. This
paste appears to have almost super
natural powers as far as ants are
concerned.
Get package today; follow in
structions closely. and your ant trou-
bles will be a thing of the past

-convincingly and overwhelmingly for Goodrich.

ttleTnCuS UfSE gave the tire
reduced prices.
We lowered tire cost for
eUery tire user when we did
that.
We were more than con-
tent to await the verdict
And that verdict is oUer-
.Uhelnaingiy and conuincingly
in favor of Goodrich Tires and
of Goodrich Fair-List prices.
We knew that the tire
user was buying mileage
service-he was buying what
the tires would do for him,
rather than so much bulk
rubber and fabric.
, We knew what our long
years of rubber manufacture
and tire-rnaking had taught
us.
Ne knew we were maxi
ing tires which had exactly
the right amount of rubber
and the right quantity of
fabric to deliver exactly the
right kind of service.
We knew that too much
rubber al j too much fabric
would be as detrimental TO
the service of the tires as
too little.
The tire user kuows that
Goodrich led in putting tire
prices on their just and
proper level.

economy.
Every ounce of energy,
every bit Of intelligence, every
fash of genius, every atom
of efficiency in the whole
Goodrich organization has
been concentrated on this
proposition of making tires
which will surely give the
greatest mileage at the least
cost.
The Goodrich tire user
knoUs that right now, today,
with all the stampede to
meet Goodrich prices, Good
rich quality Is not met and that
his dollar buys more tire
service in Goodrich tires.
"As good as Goodrich"
is today the plea.
Let us say to you, in all
good faith and with every
confidence IN the fair-l1aind-
ed judgment Of the tire user,
that no other tire made has
in it and cf it the expert
ence, the know-hoco and the
know-uhy which govern the
selection and the conbina-
ton Of the exact quality and
quantity Of rubber and fab
ric which constitute Good
rich Tires.
