j. S. RUBBER CO.
PREPARES TO KEEP
TIRE PRICES INTACT
Largest Rubber Concern on
Earth Has Unusual Rub
Der Plantation on Isle
Sumatra

Heretofore one of the great sources of
price f1uctuation in tires, as well as IN
every other article made of rubber has
been due to conditions at the source of
supply
AS long a American manufacturers of
tires had to depend on the gathering of
crude rubber by South American natives,
they were at the mercy of all sorts of
climatic and physical conditions.
No company having it's rubber gathered
from South American sources could de-
pend, with any degree of gertrude, on
the quantity of rubber that it would be
able to receive from native sources or
upon the delivery of such rubber, mas
much as floods, disease, blights and many
other conditions entered into the prob
lem.
Six years ago the United States Rub
Der company began building for the fu-
ture. This great organization-the lar
gest producer of rubber goods in the
world-.purchased 10000 acres of land in
the Island of Sumatra. Since then it has
devoted this tremendous plantation to the
cultivation of the best quality of rub
Der. Today 100000 rubber trees have
been planted. Over 100000 are being
tapped.
The direction of this work is in the
hands of experts, who have under them
an army of coolies who tend the trees
in much the same way as a fine or
chard would be looked after in this coun-
try.
1t is a matter of fact that rubber trees
cannot produce rubber until they are five
years old and do not come into full bear
ing until several years later. But now
trees are being tapped on the plantation
of the United States Rubber company.
Thus an immense supply of high-grade
rubber is being produced under scientific
direction for the factories of this great
corporation. The supply will increase in
quantity as time goes on. Thus, the Uni
ted States Tire company, which is one
of the associates of the United States
Rubber company. is relieved of many of
the problems which beset the average
manufacturer of tires. In this way an
unfailing supply of fine crude rubber IS
assured for United States tires.
So the United States Tire company,
having insured itself against undue price
f1uctuation in it's source of crude mate
rial, has taken a great step toward as
surfing the permanent low cost Of motor
ing,

FIRESTONE FACTORY
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

In a recent talk, Mr.. Edison brought
forward the idea that America, that is
supposed to be unprepared for such trials
as the great nations of Europe have
been passing through, is really pretty
well prepared in the growth and increas-
ing efficiency of it's factories
There is a point in this. AT the present
moment the Firestone Tire and Rubber
company having done business of over
$25, 900 during it's last fiscal year, is
announcing an increase in volume of So
per cent in it's sales this year over those
of last, according to the June l figures.
Firestone official in talking of this
matter recently, said 1.-THE best thing
about our organization is it's wonderful
expansive powers, For years, Mr.. Fire
stone has been building with this in view.
HE has strong men at every impor-
tant point from top to bottom OF the
organization. When expansion comes we
are ready for it. The units of the or
ganization are fitted in and the service
to the user goes on unimpaired in the
face of any demand made Of us.
'fIn thinking of the matter one cannot
help hoping that if the time ever comes
when we need our industries to prevent
the destruction of our national life, many
industries will be found organized as the
Ffrestone is now organized.

to Senator Thomas, who is chairman If
the equal suffrage committee, his effort
has failed.
Great pressure was brought to bear on
the President in an effort to force him
to follow the lead Of his adversary, Judge
Hughes. This effort was undertaken by
the female politicians, and supplemented
by certain democratic members of Con-
gress from western states.
AS is recalled. President Wilson, fol-
lowing the action of Judge Hughes in in
dorsng woman suffrage, reiterated his
formerly expressed determination to refer
this and other questions of suffrage to
the states The suffragettes, however,
through their publicity bureau, cOntended
that the President. after all, would come
across" that "he would again change
his mind"
Then came the intmation that Presi-
dent Wilson would urge his friends in
Congress to submit the Susan B. An
thony amendment in the hope that equal
suffrage would be eliminated as an is
sue in the ensuing campaign.
1t is true, nevertheless, that the Presi-
dent has not publicly expressed desire
that the amendment be submitted. 1t is
also true that he doesn't believe the
woman voters of the country will vote
in lump against him.
AS has been heretofore reported in The
Age-Herald, woman suffrage, as an is
sue was presented by Judge Hughes
when he declared for the Susan B. An

.HUPP HOLDS ITS OWN.
IN MICHIGAN TOUR

Participants in the first annual east
Michigan pike tour, held under the aus
pices of the good roads committee of
the Detroit Board of Commerce had an
excellent, although unexpected demonstra-
ton of efficiency of many makes of mo-
tor cars which have been widely adver
tiSed.
The East Pike tour was held in the
interests of good roads and every big
man in the Michigan good roads move
ment was included in the list of tourists
who made addresses en- route. Naturally,
many difficult roads were encountered
and the bad, sandy hills of northern
Michigan on the run from Detroit to
Mackinaw City We're enough to call for
the best in a motor.
All cars which started on the run fin
ished the 400 mile trip on schedule time,
but several had difficulties when the deep
sand was encountered. President j. Wal
ter Drake of the Hupp Motor Car cor
poration, who is a member of the Detroit
good roads committee, sent one of the
seven-p passenger Hupmobile touring cars
for the use of the newspaper men en-
route. Carrying the Detroit press men
this car was the surprise of the trip,
as it made the entire route on it's own
power and there was no hill too steep
sandy for the cylinder Hupmo-
bile
In fact, the tour was really triumph
for the four-cylinder type motor as all
the so-called multi-cylinder type cars
were pulled through the sand by teams
sometime en- route. On one particularly
bad hill, which the Hupmobie made in
easy fashion, it was necessary to pull four
machines up by team.
