colored girl named Lena Morton, who
had been arrested by Officer Munday
on the charge Of; stealing 81 .25 from
Becky Lee, an aged colored woman
who lives on Franklin street, between
Fairfax and Royal.
The victim is one of the oldest resi-
dents of Alexandria, and is house
bound most of her time. She en-
joys the respect of many white pco-
pie, who have known her all their
lives, and they often aid her in
the advanced evening Of life in sub
stantial ways. Becky, had just re-
ceived $4.25 from kind friends, and
the Morton girl was cognizant of the
fact. The latter managed to secure
the money, and later was investing in
candy. grapes, etc, Becky, upon dis
covering her loss, made it known gen
orally, and Officer Munday later ap-
peared and ferreted out the young
suspect. She stated that she was Is
years old and acknowledged taking
the money She told the officer where
she had hidden it, but he was unable
to recover but sixty-four cents. The
girl refused to tell what she did with
the remainder.
When brought before the Police
Court this morning the girl was al
most as dumb as an oyster. She, how
ever, said she was Is years old, and
acknowledged taking "Aunt" Beck
cy's money. Justice Cation sent her
to the workhouse for ninety days.

UT,-doe this Policy of Business Integrity
pay, an Dollars and Cents p the Cynic may
II inquire.
From even that cold-blooded standpoint we may
answer Ito the growing youth Of this country YES!-
it HAS paid even in material Success.
Witness the Goodrich growth from a very small
Acorn" indeed, to the 80 Square ACRES of Floor Space
an the largest Rubber Factory OF the World, at Akron,-re-
curing Is Square ACRES of Window-Glass alone to light
these Goodrich Factory buildings.
Witness the Tire Output of 1915 which, If the
Tires were placed fiat on the ground in a row, would reach
more than !, 100 MIes,-from New York City to Omaha,
although Tires are only one of the 267 lines of Rubber
Goods made by Goodrich.
Witness the present Staff of Is, 147 People, who
produce the 120, 600, 600 pounds of Rubber Goods, manu-
featured, marketed, and shipped, during the year, by
Freight, from this Goodrich Factory, in addition to the
10000, 900 pounds manufactured and shipped by Express,
from same Factory during same period.
Contrast this Goodrich Rubber Goods Output, with
the total Imports of Crude Rubber into the entire United
States, during 1915,-viz:-l72, 068, 428 pounds and the
total WORLD Consumption of Crude Rubber for same
year, WILLIE 600 Tons, or 284, 600, 600 pounds
Then, a0ho shall question that the Goodrich Watch

material Results.

TIME greatest Word in the whole Lexicon of
Commerce is NOT "Service!"
u 1t is "INTEGRITYI"

Because, that term embodies Good faith Depend-
ability, the Intention to play fair, a, any cost, as 1odI as
good Service.
Its essence, so far as business is concerned,
consists in living-up to the last letter of that Americanism,
The Square Deal"
1t demands from its practitioners not only a due
respect for the Rights of Others whether they be strong
enough to enforce these Rights, or weak enough to be at
the mercy of the strong) but goes further.
1t implies a charitable attitude toward those we'll
meaning persons who see Rainbows, and who cannot
live up to promises they really inteudc{ to keep.
An old-fashioned Virtue is this Business Integrity"
sometimes crowded close to the Wall by that modern
idoatry called MISUNDERSTANDING"
But, there being something MORE than Money,
worth striving for, in acknowledgement las aOeU as
Money! this od-fashioned Virtue lives on, thrives and flour
ishes, in many quarters, like the F~olk-Songs of a Nation
that never die.
May we here pay tribute to MISUNDERSTANDING
RITY, wherever it abides, and, with all due modesty,-
CLAIM it as the Watch-word which has ruled Goodrich
Activities over AZ years of Rubber Manufacturing, Selling.
and DELIVERING?

This exclusive of the Goodwill Prestige and Public Confidence that flows
from az years consistent practice of such a Policy which may we'll be worth as much
more. in personal satisfaction to each Goodrich Stakeholder, each enthusiastic Officer,
ant each loyal Employee OF the b f. Goodrich Co.
But How does this Concern YOU, the Consumer?"-y you now ask.
1t concerns yOu first of ILL., as pWt hat Sqare-deang, Straight thinking
and Business Integrity PAYS-even in Coin Of the Realm.
1t concerns each Earent-md the Som nd Daughter of each Parent as q vivid
demonstration of the fact that the modern god of 'EXpedency, :" is a false god-md
all the brilliant feats and dexterous manipulation of facts which pass current as
'Expedency' are needless for permanent Success
1t concerns theC Consumer of or the Dealer in Rubber Goods because he knous
