Dec. 6, 1892. 1t Is a land of rivers
and high mountains, land Of plenty,
a land where nature is lavish in her
generosity, a land that accommodates
itself to all classes-from the peasant
to the bourgeoisie-where the beggar In
his howell could be made quite as con-
tented with his lot as q Caesar on his
throne.
It is a land which the Creator has in
mercy given to the race Of Ham for

would find a ready export market. Like
certain tributary dependencies. this
land Of the blacks is well qualified
to produce immense quantities Of fax

could contribute substantially from her
mercury and other mines, from her
dyewoods, from her forests of build

as well as for railroad ties. ship build

GOODYEAR REPAIR MANUAL.

Informed RepaIrmen.

Perhaps the most comprehensive CON.
tribution to trade literature bearing
upon the repairing Of tires is the new
Goodyear Manual Of Tire Repairing. now
being issued TO recognised tire repair
men. by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company IF Akron. Ohio.

Illustrations used In the manual are based
on h e standard practice OF the extern

factory, which Ii maintained. not alone
for tire repairing. but to discover
through experimentation and practical
work new and more efficient methods
and materials. The whole scope OF tire
repairing II fully covered. from the use
OF gums 10 NIL tread cuts to the rebuild

CONTRASTS AMONG BUYERS.
.. =. TOback Tells Of several In.
t~eresting Types.

II has been said that next to getting
married and buying q home the most Inn
portant thing the average man doee these
days Is to buy an automobile. The pur-
chase Of an automobile represents a
large initial outlay for many men and Is
on event Of tremendous importance to
sAem. But others. who get what they
want when they want II, II do not con-
slider the cost very seriously. regard the
whole aHair from an entirely different
angle.
ut Is Interesting to observe the con-
trasts among buyerS." lays Samuel s.
Toback. president Of the A. Elliott Ran
ney Company. local distributors Of the
King Eight. Perhaps the two most ex.
acting buyers I ever heard OF were con-
cerned more with the nttings Of tho q
than with motor matters. One Of them.
a retired Judge. bought a limousine and
Insisted upon having IT equipped with
Two observation-disclosures for the chauffeur
on the instrument board and onc for
himself inside the body where he
could keep his eagle y on II.
And that was not all, for within
easy reach there was also a but
ton which sounded the warning sig-
nal. II was generally predicted al the
time OF this sale that the old gentleman
wouldn't keep 4 chauffeur very long "
ne insisted upon sounding his private sig
nal every time he suspected there was
danger. Sure enough. such was the case.
Then there was the man who bought
4 high priced chassis and old the sales
ma ne wanted u body that would grace.
fully carry 4 much priced trunk on the
rear. He sent the trunk. a most pecu-
larry shaped affair. worth probably $50.
20 the salesman SO that an $500 body
could be built around II. He said he just
couldn't bear 10 part with the trunk.
which he used ON another car for q year.
II was a hard body job, but the man
paid well for II.
Now comes n customer of the least
exacting type. He lac about decided to
buy q car other than a King. but when
he found that he would have to wait too
long for delivery telephoned one OF our
statesmen IN hts wise ~ you can have

OVERLAND PLANT
BREAKS RECORD
Manufactured and Shipped
47,465 Cars in 8 Months,
10000 in March.

Il vas disclosed IN . report submitted
BY officials Of the company 10 John N.
WHY'S, president Of the wiilysIOvsr-
land company. that all previous produce
lion records had been broken ct the close
Of business March 81.
This three months statement shows .
total Of GLASS; csrs MANUFACTURED and
shipped. Tho month Of March Just
passsd leads with a total Of nearly 10000
cars-is.7so TO be exact. This 10 COM
pared with the March, 1915. production
Of 1905 cars and shows q gain OF 12.715
ears In q single month.
Still more remarkable IL the fact that
the number Of cars shipped In the three
months period January I TO March 81
comes within = thousand cars OF equal
ling the entire yearly production Of 1914.
In twelve months time. with increased
manufacturing facilities. production ns-
ures are nearly trebled, a msnufactur-
Ing and marketing achievement that has
yet to be equslled In n Industry.
The report Of the irst quarter shows
them maintaining . production schedule
Of 100000 Overland and Wiiiys-knight
cart for 1915. and marks = new era In
the quantity production Of cam OF this
class and price.
With the completion OF new factory
additions the Overland will possess the
facilities for building 1000 motor cars
every t~wenty-four hours. The daily pro-
ductton is more than double the number
OF cars that were produced during the
entire year OF 1907, when the Overland
car first made It's appearance.
The phenomenal growth Of the Toledo
concern is attributed largely to the high
quality system Of quantity production
methods which have been In vogue at
the Overland since It's inception. BY
producing cars IN large numbers they
have not only reduced manufacturing
costs to a minimum but they have been
able TO ofcr popular priced cars Of a
fneness Of workmanship which the pub.
lie has come TO associate with cars OF
| far higher price.

Moreover, the mileage IL not IN the

that have won the enthusiastic praise Of
motorists all over the country.
There was no original bias on tho part
OF the Empire company when the expert
uents with red rubber were started.
The company was making u most sue
cessful gray tire. But tire making waO
not the only Empire output. A great
success had already been scored with
Peerless rcd tubes. Red rubber VIZ
used for these because IT had developed
greater ~toughness In service. This sue.
gested the logical thought that the sama

The School Fair

To say that the students of
the Meade public school enjoyed
the fair last Thursday and Fri
day doesn't half express it.
Though the weather was bad,
it did not lessen the attendance
in the least. Thursday was de-
voted to the viewing of work
completed by the pupils in the
grades, the domestic science and
manual training departments.
To fully appreciate this work it
would be necessary to see it for
your self. 1t was certainly fine
showing and speaks well for the
school. Friday was carnival day
and fun and frolic prevailed.
In addition to being success
from pleasure standpoint, the
undertaking resulted in a neat
little sum of money.
