GOODYEAR CLOSES GREATEST BUSINESS
 YEAR IN HISTORY
More Than 100000 Tires Sold During Present Year by Big COncern-Ex-
 pect Greater Things

Wednesday witnessed the conclusion oi the most successful and significant sales conference in the history of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. For a week district managers and branch managers from all over the country were the com panys guests at Akron. The sensational record for the year just ended was re- viewed, and plans laid for the company s participation in the harvest of 1916
 There was general congra tula ton over the fact that despite every obstacle due to war, general business conditions and continued rains over vast sections of the country, the 100000 mark set for the automobile tire department a year ago had been reached and passed. It has been Goodyear's greatest business year, and the consensus of opinion of the company's s representatives from coast to coast is that 1916 will be a still greater one.
 This Is in line with the prediction re- gently made by President F. A. Seiberling that this country will absorb 100000 cars yearly for the next three years, and Goodyear men-at the factory and in the sales division-have been perfecting their plans to capture 'their share" of the in- creased tire business, and thus maintain and strengthen the company's position as the largest tire company in the world.
 The factory for many months has been running to capacity, 24 hours a day, to keep production in line with sales and seven acres of new buildings are being rushed to completion to take care of the known increased demands that are on the way.
 Goodyear men, now back "on the job from Maine to California, and the lakes to the gulf, feel more than ever confident of making a new worlds record for 1916.
 The conference developed that remark able strides are being made in al. depart ments, and that the automobile tire de- partment is not entitled to all the glory for the companys growth. In mechani- cal goods new and exclusive products are meeting a prodigious sale; in motorcycle tires, three-fourths of the country's 191, business is already assured; in bicycle tires business has doubled in one season and so on through the Goodyear line.
 It is significant that the advertising campaign about to be launched empha sizes the company's belief in the value oi that agency in promoting sales and mak- ing Goodyear goods and qualities known familiarly in every corner of the country

 Time-Fa1l, 1915.
 Place-Michigan state fair grounds.
 Synopsis-"Bunny," in a Scripps- Booth roadster, extinguishes a fire on Louis big racer-the fastest, most powerful car at the meet-hitches a rope to the giant racer and tows it to the pits while 10000 people cheer
 She tells the story thus:
 When I saw the Simplex go by to the pits,' said Miss Thornton-who was familiar with the car, by the way. for she had been driving it at the races in competition--'I saw that Disbrow was In trouble, as flames were leap ing about under the car in very dan gerous fashion. l was sitting in my Scripps-Boo in the half mile track

 We found the racer on the back stretch where he had stopped to put out the fire and few moments work with the extinguisher soon settled that, but then the big car wasn't in running condition.
 "Taking piece of tent rope which was handy in the infeld, I tied the racer behind my little roadster and we came into the pits few moments later at 25 miles an hour, the little scripps- Booth towing the 90 horse power Lion with no trouble at all
 The most fun was to listen to the grandstand when we drove in, for they cheered like mad and cried out 'Scripps- Booth, Scripps- Booth as though I hadn't done any part of the rescue"

to blow the steel head of the grenade into bits when it strikes and kill men standing close by it.
 In the old days the hand grenade was merely hollow iron shell filled with half pound of black powder with a fuse attached, which the grenadier lit from his always glowing match. The bursting charge of the grenade today, however, due to the great improvement in explosives, is five or six times as powerful weight for weight, as the old fashioned black powder.

EATON FACTORY BLAZE
QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED

About $3.50 Friday afternoon an alarm
was rung in from box 60 for a fire on the
outside of the machine room of the
Eaton shoe factory. The fire was quick
ly extinguished by the employees of the
factory, who formed a bucket brigade
and watered the blaze from the roof
while others threw sand upon the fire in
barrels beside the building. The auto
matte sprinkler set to work on time and
prevented the fire from eating into the
inside of the room. There was no dam
age on the inside and the damage to the
exterior of the building was estimated
to be to the value of from $50 to 500.
The fire was set, it is believed. by the
careless act of smoker who dropped a
lighted match amongst some cement bar
rels lying close beside the north end of
the machine ROOM Gasoline is used to
cut cement and the barrels We're exposed
to the hot sun so that the outside was
rightly infammable. The factory was
shut down for less than half an hour.
Superintendent Gray, we'll pleased with
the quick work of his men, sang out:
"All out, boys and a few moments lat
er the whistle blew for the machines to
start again. The fire department was
"jonny-on-the-spot" but was not needed.
