Some guarantees mean something.
But those are the exception.
Did you ever get a guarantee on
rubber tire casing?
IL so, and IL your experience was
not unique, you found out how much
a scrap Of paper" may not be worth.
The average guarantee OF $500
miles" on a tire means that the COM
pany earnestly assures you, at no
personal risk whatever, that that tire
will go $500 miles IL it will.
Interesting, isn't IL,
AS a piece OF humor II is superb.
AS a piece Of business 1t is a
filmsy fiiyver, a blawsted bloomer,
q bally bunk, etc.
Recently we had tire nearly as
good as piece OF tissue paper.
1t ran nearly two thousand miles,
and then blew up and out with a
long, shrieking cry Of pain.
We were told everywhere that the
way to get satisfaction was to take
IL to the agent for that brand OF
tire. and "get an adjustment"
We fell for this.
The agent looked over our tire;
heard the statement as to what dis
tance 1t had run, and then asked
blandly what we wanted hims to do.
We told him we had been informed
that an adjustment could be had.
mo- he said, "it can't. There is
nothing but natural wear there, and
we guarantee against nothing except
defects in tires"
Could you ever get an agent to ad-
NIT there had been defect?
We learned since, from a wiser
and wickeder person, what we should
have done. We should not have told
the truth about 1t. Had we told him
1t had gone five hundred miles, he
would have made an adjustment.
blessed is he that telleth the
truth to tire agent. for verify he
shall be stung."

Walking Is ideal exercise for
every one. 1t is natural activator
Of metabolism. II increases the oxy-
genation Of the blood. puts the pep"

heart, enlivens elimination as no

cure for liver diaordera. Two miles

medicine than Russian oil or German
