Between times in ferreting out wrong.
doers, Detective Sergeant Larry O'Dea
has found time to invent an sUtonobiIf
tire known as the Vargyas Safety Tire
which Is guaranteed to be nonstid Re.

10 per cent punCture proof and il is prsr-
anteed for 10000 miles of service. Best

Whether to fall in line and ioin the
merger or to hang on in the same old
way and increase the size of the plant
as the business grows, is the point that
Is giving number OF the motor car
and parts manufacturers anxious mo-
ments these days. Already there ha :
been put through one large merger that
runs into millions of dollars and renorts
are to the effect that there is another
one under way. Automobile securities
nave during the past year become very
attractive to big business, which a few
years ago turned deaf ear to the manu-
taeturer when he came to him and asked

doing they can for the remainder OF
their days take life in comparative ease
by selling now Which to do is the big
question tnat many Of the men who have
struggled along until they have made
their business what it is today, must de-
eide within the next few months or per-
haps weeks.
