COL. GUFFEY SURRENDERS

Colonel Mardcll Guffey. Sage OF the
Sand Iii!ls," Cherokee strip, Oklahoma,
has surrendered. The Cherokee Re
publican makes that sensational am
nouncement And it is sensational
astounding, too. All oklahoma is aGoE
over it. Colonel Mardell Gufrey never
surrendcred--to anybody or anything
in his life.
But the stride of progress has lock- ed
step with Colonel Mardell Guffey nov
And he's swinging along at Il brisk
pace. With his black briar pipe at the
Same cock angie
Colonel Guffcy came into the Chcro-
kec strip with the pioneers, and every
thing he owned strapped in the pockets
OF his saddle. That's forty year ago
the colonel says. And. by the same
token, the colonel for forty years has
contcnded that there is one and only
one sure. safe. economical. disnitied
means OF transportation--only one
mount for a gentleman. That's a COW
pony. And he's lived his life in the
saddle
Fortune has smiled upon Colonel
Mardell Guffcy. lie has become sub
stantial. as we'll as widely beloved
citizen. So. with the march OF progress
into the Cherokee strip. it is not re-
markablc that the cntcrprisinS motor
car salesman should single out the
colonel. Whole brisadcs and hattalions
of them have come confidently and de-
par;cd de SpairinElS.
Nevertheless. Colonel Mardcn Gumcy
has SURRENDER cd-just the same. We've
confirmed it. II is straight.
y few days ago - Ford agent drove
a 1918 Ford into the coioncfs front
yard. The colonel viewed the familiar
experiment ainfully-throuCh Il
cloud of pipe smoke. Then ne took
his feet down OFF the rail and gave
the cr!tter tho Uncover" Finally he
broke all precedent and climbed
aboard"
An hour later the colonel said: well.
YOU might as we'll leave her h!tched
up to the locust post yondcr. and If
she's sound in wind and fairly gentle
may slip my branding iron on her.
The colonel did. Later he was en-
countcred on the highway. II amt

into the front gate on two wheels
But she sure can sinClefoot better

to me, though, ought to mix some

that largely determines the quality OF
the tire. The Miller method retains
the natural vegetable wax and oil IN
the cotton fiber during process OF
manufacturing. And this natural lub-
ricant In the cotton means less in
ternal friction and more life and miles
In the tire. The Miller builders sub
stantiatc this claim by citing the fact
that wax and Gil carbOnize at 40 de-
Srccs While the old method requires
about PSI degrees to vulcanize Il tire.
the Miller method vulcanizcs at a low
degree of heat without robbinS the
fabric OF it's life giving wax and oil.
and thus saves the fiber from becoming
brittle and losing its tensile strength.
y thorough understanding Of this fun
damental principle in tire building
makes 1t easy TO realize why Miller
tire builders have always said that
the tire user could not Judge Il tire
by it's external appearance. And while
the Miller tire builders have made
endless tests to prove to their salts
faction that the Miller gcarcd- to tic
road tread is adequate for all the vary
ing conditions. yet the value OF the
Miller tire goes deeper, as explained by
their frank admission of the import
ance of the fabric.
The tire question is Il pertinent one
with every car owner. Realizing this
fact. Miller ADVERTISING is giving tire
users actual news in Il constructive
effort to answer every tire question.

satisfactory.

The value of name on a tire is
Illustrated by the popularity of the
Miller tire among surgeons. Perhaps
II is safe to say that the majority Of
these surgeons are purposcly ignorant
or now Miller tires are made. Their
selection was made because of the
name Miller" which is the name on
surgeons rubber gloves that expert
ence has taught them TO adopt These
surgeons do know that there is no
rubber product harder to make per
!ectly than surgeons rubber gloves,
and that factory of the years OF
experience with rubber that is able
10 produce such satisfactory gloves is
reasonably expected TO be able to pro-
duce a satisfa Glory auto tire. The rca
son that these surgeons continue with
Miller tires is due to results obtained
in actual wear. Parallel with the en-
pcriencc OF surgeons is that of other
car owners who appreciate that the inn
portant thing is not what the manu-
facturer puts into a tire rs much as
what the user gets out Of it,
In connection with this il is inter
estnG TO observe the policy OF frank
ness which the Miller Rubber Company
is continuing with the public, as wit
messed in their national advertising.
The Miller Rubber Company frankly
tells the public that tire service and
safety depends upon more than the
tread or the outer structure OF rubber
IT is the inner structure OF fabric
