The county board, for the most part,

the county who have been needing
medical attention in the Bartron hos
pital. Special Examiner E. /. Lampy
recommended that they be kept at the
county building, recently erected, and
a special meeting was held Tuesday
to discuss the situation and to con
slider Mr.. Lampy's recommendations.

ed as final without sustaining evi-
dence, or overturning evidence, called
in DR.. H. NJ. Freeburg and DR.. H. M.
Finnerud as consulting specialists.
Both gentlemen sustained MI. Lampy,
so far as the average patient needing
attention is concerned. They said,
with Mr.. Lampy, that they thought
the expense entailed would be much
less if the patients were cared for at
the county hospital. The final decis-
ion was postponed to October 30,
when the board will again meet.

BLACK TREAD TIRES ARE
BLACK ONLY FOR STYLE

The classy looking black tread
tires are but the start Of a fashion in
automobile tires, credit for whose sud
den great popularity is claimed by the
B. f. Goodrich company.
When we first came out with the
barefoot rubber automobile tire a few
months ago." says an official of the
Goodrich company, there were no
black tread tires on thesmarket, except
silvertown cord tires, which we alone
manufacture, under exclusive patents
We are therefore anxious to have
the motoring public know that the es-
sence Of Goodrich barefoot rubber value
to consumers lies not in the color but
in its composition-in its especially de-
vised texture, flexibility. cling-quality
stretch, hghtness and residence Of this
barefoot rubber alloy which. through
years Of research, the Goodrich COM
Pany developed.
Color alone would have been little
help to US in making Silvertown rubber
treads stand MP in the tremendous tests
which the mile-per- hour- races OF
1915 provided. And color alone can do
little for the consumer who buys tire.
on the assumption that all black tread
tires must be made Of similar materials.
Goodrich fabric tires are black only
because We elected that color, primarily
for distinction and association with
our Silvertown cord tires"
