PREFACE.

This little volume of poems is pub lished for the pleasure of the beloved family and friends of the author, not for the public. therefore we entreat the literary critic to pass it by un scathed. These modest poems have been written during the many years of a very busy life. not for public scrutiny, but because fo the thoughts and feelings insisted on expression and gave the writer no rest nor peace till transferred to paper, per haps to be laid aside for years with out copying.

Practically all reputable automobile engineers are unanimous in agreeing that the Gray & Davis separate unit electric starting and lighting system is the most perfect system on the market today. It has been used OH the Paige for two years with wonder full results, and of course is retained on the new Paige "Six-46." It is the newest, lightest type, and turns over the motor faster than any other crank ing system. The o0-hour Willard Storage Battery is used.

 For a long. long time most tires have sold much above Goodyear prices. Some have sold onethird hioher A few have sold lower. as some always will, because of less rubber, less quality. But we can and do. under all conditions, give more for the money than any rival tire can offer.
Arizona republican., 1915-02-07

We are glad again-for the third time in two years--to an- nouncc big reduction on Good year tires, effective February 1St
 Goodyear policy on price is to give the utmost in a tire at the auctions are made to that end, without ever reducing the qual- ity.
 That always means. with our matchless output, more for the money than any other maker can give.
 As rubber came down our prices came down. As our out put multiplied, reducing fac tory cost, our prices came down with it. In two years our re- misunderstanding the pres ent-have totaled 45 per cent.
 Last year we increased our output 26.6 per cent. A few days ago the embargo on rub Der was modified so that sup plies seem assured. The mar ket price for rubber seems for Il time established. Fabric costs less than last year. So, under our minimum profit policy. we announce this new reduction.

 Most tires will always sell higher. because of smaller out put. Some tires will always sell lower because of lower standards. But we promise you that none will ever give better than Goodyear value.
 This policy has made GooG- years tic largest selling tires in the world It will make them more so as more men find them out
