Quality will be

But to the public the 'cost" will be small
in United States Tires.
The quality which has won the motoring

Tires-which has given them such amazing
sales increases during the past year-will be
maintained at all costs.
And we emphasize the fact that the cost
to the consumer will be small.

For a long time, every manufacturer, and
most motorists, have known that an advance
in tire prices was inevitable.
How soon, and how much, have remained
in doubt-until now.
Now we are able to state-irrespective of
what advances or manufacturing changes
other manufacturers may make-that to the
consumer United States Tire price advances
will be small,
far below the proportion of increase in
cost to the manufacturer, of the best tire ma
terials,
far below the proportion of general in
crease in the cost of commodities of every kind.
And we are holding down the price in.

some fine agricultural country, and

and with the aid of glass, we could
see men at work in the Algood spoke
mill. We saw the train the whole dis
tance from Algood depot to the Cooke
vile depot; We saw the light pole on
the grain elevator; we saw the key
hole in the clock face on the court
house, and one boy who had good
eyes said that he saw a man with gray
beard and chewing tobacco sitting on
= bench near the courthouse door.
We found some ammunition in the
form Of green tomato potash and
from 1t every one was furnished a
number of rounds of loaded shells,
then war was declared and the battle
of Quebec was fought. Wolfe and
