COMPANY OFFERS TUBE
FREE With EVERY TIRE
Pennsylvania Rubber Concern, Through
Chew-Goucher Agency. Plans to
lnaugurate New Policy with
This Proposition.

Buying automobile tires is like buying
anything else: you simply get what you
pay for. The price Of motor car shoes"
is not a hit or miss proposition. 1t Is
figured out to the fraction OF a cent
Some of the smaller tire builders who aim
more to quality than quantity trade. guar
antee their product hundreds Of miles
In excess Of the guarantees given by
the so-called standard tire builders.
Among these are the Pennsylvania
Rubber Company, manufacturers Of
Pennsylvania Vacuum Cup tires, who
give guarantee of 5000 miles with their
tires. Beginning today they inaugurate
a new policy. With the purchase of every
Vacuum Cup tire they will give free one
pure gum tube.
The idea of this offer is to reduce the
Initial cost price OF their tire so that
those who have been buying other makes.
because they imagine Pennsylvania are
too high, will be able to secure a tiro
and tube as cheap, IL not cheaper, than
they can purchase any other make.
The Chew Goucher Company. local dis
tributers. figure that once they secure a
customer, he will receive such satisfac-
tion from his tires that he will never
use another make. The tire and tubes
sold under this proposition, which is TO be
in effect but for a limited time, all bear
the regular factory guarantee OF 5000
miles.

Considerable Irregularity APP
parent, but Standard Issues
Continue to Show
Firmness.

New York, June 2A-In spite Of con-
siderable irregularity there was a some-
what better tone evident in the stock
market today. This was not due to any
overnight betterment IN the Mexican sit
uation, which, II anything, looked more
serious today than on the day before.
The week has been one OF heavy declines,
especially among the more speculative
issues, and II is certain that some stocks
which were overbought at the beginning
OF the break early in the week are now
oversold As result there was some
what Of an evening up process today.
Many SPECTATORS who have confidently
was due once war between the United
States and Mexico seemed assured, are
now changing their minds, ther reason for
this shift being due to the stability shown
by the standard stocks, such as Steel and
the rails, and the fact that it is an open
secret that not only Is there big short
interest in the market, but there are
amount under thu market waiting to be
executed in case prices drop to what
might be termed bargain levels.
The railroad shares were singularly in
active today, the turn over in many Of
the more popular issues Of this class
being lighter than for several Saturdays
previous. United States Steel continued
to display firmness and closed with
gain Of Is OF a point above Fridays final
prices. Several OF the munitions stocks
show more hrmness than they have
heretofore displayed Of late, and the be-
havior OF the copper and other metal
shares was more satisfactory than for
any previous day this week. The motor
