MERE are 1,923,o51 Automobiles now State
q licensed, and running, in the United States.
OF these, 1,8O3,951 are Pleasure Cars-ie,
exclusive of Trucks, etc.
More than 900 of them. or about ~1,623.555. use Pneu-
matte Tires.
Each car will wear ont and replace, on average, about
one Set of -Four Tires per year.
Therefore, the interests of each Car-O0ner as we'll as
each Car-Manufacturer, each .Car-Dealer, and Salesman, is
vitality and personally affected by the price of Tires to Con-
suners.
Because,-Tues and Gasoline are the two bio items of
consumption in the operation of Motor Cars.
The Owner who used his Car 1000 Miles less per year,
than he mould have done, because of "the high-price of Tires
and Gasoline" received that much less return from his entire
investment in the Car proper.
The potential, or prospective, Car-Owner who fails to
buy a Car because of the high cost of Tires and Gasoline
he who sells his Car and does not buy again because of the
high cost of Tires and Gasolne"-or he who. for the same
reason, stores his Car and does not run it during a considerable
part of the year, is a direct loss to
-1st-Automoble Manufacturers, as a class.
I'd Automobile Dealers, as a class.
Sd Garage Owners, as a class.
Standardization & Gasoline Manufacturers, as a
class.
But,-he is a greater loss to r Manufacturers. and
Dealers, as a class, than to any others.
Gasoline and Lubricants, for instance, can be sold to
the Owners of Motor Boats, Stationary, and other Motors.
But,-Automobile Tires can only be sold, in the ultimate,
to the man who OWNS Car, and who wears out Tires through
using it.

EcAUSE of that GOODRICH "FairList' Propa-
ganda, every CarOwner who now buys any make

Tires, an average of about $46.27.
Every Car-Owner who uses "a x4 Tires, of any .

an average of about $26.1 Is per Set of 4 Tires.

why some Tire Manu-

livery mile that each Automobile runs, means an
automatic Sale Of Tires to replace that mileage with
new Tires.
But, all the Craftsmanship, and all the Advertising,
under the Sun, could not increase, by a single Tire, the total
sales of Tires beyond the number of Cars owned by Con-
and the number of Miles each Consumer runs his Car
yearly.
The Market for Tires is therefore limited infexibly, to
the number of Cars running, and the Mileage which each
Owner is induced to run yearly.
Therefore, we opine that to promote greater Sales. and
greater use, of Automobiles, few better incentives can be
offered than narkedylowered cost. TO CONSUMERS. for
Tires and Gasoline.
just as we recognize that the only legitimate expansion
open to the Tire Industry, as a whole, would be due to the Sale
OF more Automobiles each year to Consumers, with a greater
average Mileage USE, per year, of each Car by each Owner.
> . That is why we favor the Lowest possible price for
hres.-to Consumers, consistent with maintenance of high
quality and a fair profit to Dealer and Mh.

RIGHT THINKING is THE
KEY TO RIGHT LIVING
Let Man Think Only Good Thoughts
and He VIII Be Good, Says
Rev. y. L. Thomas

People are as they think" said
Rev. A. f. Thomas of the First Breth-
rem church in his sermon last night
on "An Appeal to Reason" He said
IN part:
I'VE are living in an age when we
need the best Of thinkers. but it is
too often the case that people take too
much for granted. Some people are
letting others do the thinking for
them. The crime Of this age is that
we do not do our own thinking.
I'VE should think of things that
are virtuOus. noble and good and not
of things that do not pertain to the
promotion of Gods kingdom and our
own spiritual improvement. We should
think Oftener of God.
MANY Of us think that God IS too
far away, that we are so insignificant
that God does not care for us. They
should remember that God notes all
they do. that we are his children and
that He is always with US. We should
always remember that were il not for
Gods help. we could do nothing.
I'VE cannot fathom the heart
aches. the sadness and the sorrow
that God has because we do not live
as He would have US live.
Another thing we should think
more about is the church. Some peo-
pie cry out, What is wrong with the
church, when in reality the matter
Is all with the people"
