TIRE COMPANY
Makes Good Showing Dur
ing First Year

This Is the day of the specialist.
1t is only natural that the unusual
growth of the automobile industry
should bring out the tire specialist.
The Mt Vernon Tire Co. is just such
an institution. It has recently closed
its first years business, and to say
that it has been eminently successful
would be putting 1t mildly. Mr.. H. e..
Fletcher, manager Of this company,
has recently closed contracts with
Kelly Springfield, the aristocrat OF all
tires, and the Racine companies,
these, together with the well-known
Miller line, making what constitutes
tire for every buyer to fit any
pocketbook.
They have also handled many thou
sands of dollars worth OF factory
blemished tires, thus making 1t pos
sible to furnish very good tire for
a relatively small sum of money. The
success with which this venture has
met has prompted this company to
plan a chain of stores, so that In the
not distant future other county seat
towns may have Big Tire store under
the efficient management OF Mr.
Fletcher and Mr.. Nixon, handling
tires Of many makes and all prices.

Treatment of Walls.

II molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do so much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding is in line with
the ton Of the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using paneling
beneath the sill. and to carry the tops
of doors and windows to a fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect of a good paper
Is enhanced. A plain paper has the
dignity Of panel when SO used.
