GOODR|CHER WONDERS
WHERE ALL TIRES GO

Either the people of this country
are all using automobiles" said an Of
fetal of the b. F. Goodrich company,
"or a larger percentage of them are
using Goodrich Tires.
I'VE have never in the history of the
business had anywhere near as many
calls for Goodrich Safety Tread Tires
as we have had this season. our eXper-
fence was anticipated in Il measure;
but it has been surprising, nevethe-
less.
1T was expected when the Goodrich
company announced its general reduc-
ton in tire prices that there would be
increased demand for these castings,
which have always been regarded as
standard by which tire values were
measured. However, the desire to have
Goodrich Tires seems to be so general
that we sometimes find it difficult to
ralize that there are other tires on the
market.
our sales have thus far been so
greatly in excess of those of any other
year that we would be able to report a
good seasons business, even if we did
not sell another tire between now and
the first of January.
hut more gratifying still is the fact that
Goodrich Tires, always highly salts
factory. have never before given bet
ter service than they are giving this
year. In fact, they have never before
been as good as they are now.
1T seems as if the makers of these
tires have found out exactly how to
produce just the balance in weight and
strength that is necessary to give the
service that is required.
But | am not alone in my enthusi-
asm over Goodrich Tires. Every man
to whom / have sold a set of Good
rich Safety Treads is just as enthusi-
astic as I am. and with good reason.
In addition to getting the best tires
that have ever been made. the pur-
chasers get Goodrich Safety Treads at
lower prices than have ever before been
charged for standard tires.
$50 the satisfaction is complete all
around

COTTON SEED OIL NOW
MADE IN S. R. VALLEY

Salt River Valley farmers can now
buy their hot process seed meal in
Phoenix. 1t is being manufactured
at the plant of The Phoenix Cotton
Oil Company. The government has
endorsed the oil as a stock food,
through the department of agricul-
ture. In the process of manufactur-
ing of cotton seed meal the shell OF
the seed is cracked like nut and
separated from the meats. The meats
are then ground and cooked for forty
minutes under a temperature of 240
degrees This precludes the posi-
bility of any germs or bacteria of
any Objectionable acids remaining in
the meal.
The following is from a report from
the L. S. department of agriculture;
COttonseed meal contains from 80
to 45 per cent protein and is there
fore one of the most concentrated
feed stuffs upon the market. There
are in fact very few vegetable feeds
which have anything like this per
centage of protein. Its value has
perhaps been more thoroughly APP
preciated in Europe than in this
country despite the additional cost
of shipping it abroad. During 1913,
for example, about 100000 tons of
the meal were exported to Europe
Much of what remained in this
country was used as fertilizer, 50
that it has been estimated that AM
erican cattle We're fed less than one
half of the total quaptity of meal
produced in the country. There is,
however, growing tendency at the
present time to use the meal as d
supplementary feed.
