THROW Fish away Rather
Than Sell At CUT PRICES

Some Wilmingtonians who have just
returned from Bowers Beach tell a story
of fishermen there throwing dead fish
back into the bay rather than sell them
lower than the price they fix for the
fish daily
A few days ago fish caught in a
seine in the bay were offered for sale
by the Bowers Beach fishermen at 81
a bushel. Some were sold at that price,
when there was a suspension Of buying.
Finally a man offered 80 cents bushel
for all fish unsold, but the fishermen
replied that they would throw the fish
overheard rather than sell az that price.
Nobody else bought the fish at 81 a
bushel 30 the fishermen tossed the un-
sold fish back into the water to float
away rather than sell them for 80 cents
a bushel.

FRANKLIN STANDS RIGID TEST OF COLD
 WEATHER DRIVING
Ease of Mind Is Important Factor, Says Charles
 Denegre

Ease of mind, as a supplement to bodily comfort, is a mighty import ant factor in driving an automobile. whether it is used for business or pleasure.9 said Charles Denegre, local Franklin distributor. The sense of se- curity which breeds confidence in d driver comes from his experience with car.s The rigid test of winter driv- ing shows the ability of the car to do what the driver wants it to do and it's freedom from breakdowns, freeze ups and kindred troubles.
 "H A. Swanson, president of the Ne- vada Mountain Mining company, Win nemucca. New. had a Franklin tour ing car delivered to him late in Jam uary To demopstrate 1t. the dealer took MT. Swanson to the company's S quicksilver mines, 38 miles back in the mountains. They followed a motor truck trail, climbing over frozen roads to an extreme height above sea level of $500 feet. Five miles out they en- countered the beginning of the big Blizzard which tid up railway traffic in that section for many days. The thermC meter registered 32 degrees be- low zero and a bitter wind drifted the snow rapidly.
 'Thirty-six miles of drift bucking St touSH Tt lucIu lO the lllHe WHer6 $40o0 load of quicksilver was put in and the return journey begun. The car brought them back without mis- hap, having covered 72 miles of the hardest kind of going during the worst storm of the year in that section.
 Another trip which aroused a good deal of interest locally was one of 65 miles from Waterloo to Marshalltown, Ia. The roads were drifted six feet deep in many places and the driver said that the car "hurdled the snow drifts with the ability of jack rabbit Fifty-six miles were covered this way in the first four hours and then the rising sun soft ened the crust so the car broke through It took four hours to make the last nine miles.
 Driving a car over 15O miles of road deep with the winter snow of Ontario and untraveled by an automobile for six weeks was the task handed to MT. Len nox, salesman for the Wilson Motor

GOODYEAR OFFERS
 PERFECT SERVICE
Six Stations in Birmingham Ready to Take Care
 of Customers

The word service is being advertised. preached and talked by almost every merchant in the country.
 It is being used as slogan, it is being used almost as a by-word, and the aver age consumer today is practically uncon- scious of it's real meaning.
 The idea is an excellent one-"service' satisfaction" these two things mean and are the biggest assets any concern can have. but let's get clear under standing of this big word before we go any further.
 There are two kinds of service-the service" of cure and the service" of prevention. One entirely opposite of the other and yet both mean the same thing -'service"
 For instance, the Goodyear dealers whose stores are shown in the picture in this section stand for "service of pre- vention" They all believe in educating their customers how to take care of the tires they sell them, so that they will be spared inconvenience on the road. They all feel that user of their tires will feel kindlier toward them if they can show them how to get more miles per dollar from their tires, than if they mere ly sell them tire and when it blows out on the road-come out to them on a flying trip and fix them up or haul them in Of course, they are prepared for such emergencies, but the trend of their busi- ness is to prevent occurrences of that kind and see that they don't break down on the road.
 Every one of these dealers are full- fledged Goodyear service stations" :" They have been drilled and coached in the art of selling tires, and best of all how to care for their customers after that sale is made.
 When a person takes 8 tire out of ono of these Goodyear service stations he Is not forgotten. He is told ways and means of prolinging the life of his tires and further is asked to drop in every two or three days to have his tires ex- amined and advice given If needed.
 These dealers are all located centrally. employ only the best of help and carry a full line of tires, tubes and accessories

Sales company of Toronto. He brought the car in from Brantford and a few days later drove it back, combating zero weather and heavy winds which drifted the snow and made the roads almost inn passable.
 "It is a tribute to the resilient, sturdy construction of the Franklin that not one of the three cars was in any way injured by the raclking and straining it was sub jected to. The air-cooled engine was in no danger from the extreme temperatures. The light weight of the car reduced the danger of getting stuck in the drifts to a minimum"
