This is the story of how Mr.. E. T..
Tibbitts. who on April 7th concluded
his 18th year as the n and only ad-
vertising manager which the B. F..
Goodrich Co. has ever had, reached
Akron. He reached the Goodrich fac

Advertising Aids company's Rise
The growth Of the B. F. Goodrich
c., which is the largest rubber fac
tory in the world and produces over
q, 1000 different articles of rubber, in
Guiding auto, motorcycle. bicycle,
truck and carriage tires, hose, betting,
packing, nodded goods, raincoats,
boots and shoes, water-bottles, and in
fact everything in rubber" is largely
attributed to it's progressive advertis-
ing policies. In fair weather or foul,
Goodrich advertising has stood forth
as prominently and continuously as
! Gibraltar.
The Goodrich company have always
been strong believers in advertising be-
cause they have seen their business
multiply and prosper under the sun
and rain of publicity. In.no other way
could they have told so many millions
OF people about the goodness of Good
rich goods, in so short a time, or so
economically. Their advertising has
made people want rubber goods made
by Goodrich, and what the public
wants it gets, year after year. Today
their great factorie are at work night
and day. Each year they invest more
and more money in advertising and
each year are forced to build and build
to care for increasing business.
Goodrich Tires Are Popular
The power of Silent Salesmanship,
which is advertising, was lever nor
forcibly felt than when the B. F. Good
rich Co. last year announced Fair
List prices on tires and then set a
new fashion in tires when they first
announced the Goodrich Black Tread
Tires. In both cases, other tire manu-
facturers changed their tire prices and
color of their treads so as to take ad-
vantage of the popularity and demand
made by Goodrich advertising and pub
licity. Today Black Tread Tires have
the call" everywhere.
Another reason why Black Treads
are so popular is because of the Won
derful endurance of Silvertown Tires
in races and on the roads everywhere
during the last two years. Black
Treads were originated by Goodrich
on Silvertown Tires.
The Black Barefoot Rubber used in
Goodrich Tires clings to the pavement,
for the same reason that the sole of
your bare foot clings to slippery shr-
faces.
When the clutch of your car Is
thrown in, and the wheels begin to
turn, with first sudden tug on tires,
the barefoot rubber stretches between
the outer surface contracting with the
ground and it's inner surface which is

What is the real origin of the ia

have been used for the first time by
Bismarck? We all, of course, know
that in the Prussian diet of 1862 Bis

are to be settled, not by speeches and
majority resolutions, but by blood
and iron.' The belief here avowed
remained with the chancellor to the
end, for in his Memoirs" he repeated
the declaration thus: I'VE could get

during the war of liberation against
Napoleon by Max Won Schenkendorff,

Striving to believe that something
might intervene to delay or prevent
the wedding, Ware had fingered about
the town after Leila's return from the
city, but now, within twenty-four
hours of the ceremony, he abandoned
all hope. A willing bride or a sacri-
flee, Leila had chosen, or had been
forced to choose stupid but wealthy
Boyd Weaver as her life companion.
Therefore Randall Ware was about to
fly to familiar solitary haunts, to hide
himself, to mourn in secret, to try
to forget.

remote pineries station to the old
camping place he and his friends had
so often visited. that he passed the
summer home of a cousin of Leila's.
In fact, it was here that he had first
met Leila. That was the previous sea-
son, when she and her mother had
been guests of the cousin in question
and of his family.
1t was quite dusk as the old buck
board wagon passed the Lodge, as it
was called, and Ware noticed lights
moving about the place.

of the driver.

After a while. however, the owner
OF the warren began to grow tired of

under the existing state OF things the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
twenty dollars each, which was rather
TOO much, even for an enthusiastic
sportsman. So he determined to de.
stroy the game preserve.
There were only four or five bur.
rows in the Enclosure, and few fer

One night, after all the rabbits had
been destroyed. the owner hammered

the conclusion that the man had come

Randall Ware had read in some book
or newspaper that there are animals
which. when desperately wounded,
seek some secluded solitary spot in
which they may die peacefully. This
required to him as he gloomily picked
up his sportsman's outfit, preparatory
to speedy dash for the wilderness.
For he had been grievously wound
ed-in his affection, it was true, but
all that was worth striving for seemed
to have gone out of his life and he
was inclined to give up the struggle.
This had happened: The young lady
with whom he was desperately in
love, and who he was assured sincerely
returned his affection, was about to
marry another. This was her wedding
eve. 1t had been torment unutterable

was, but jealousy guarded from his
