Old Tires May Serve
To Patch New Ones

The average owner has formed the
habit of disposing of old tires for
few cents and is not aware of
the fact that the casing can be util-
lied for making blowout patches for
use inside a casing. - -r'
These homemade patches serve
even better than the cheap ones sold
at supply stores. The patch is made
simply by ripping OF the tread and
one or two layers of fabric. The
thickness of the patch should be
equal to about two or three layers
of the fabric and of course cut to
the right length.
1t is possible. TO get ten blowout
patches from a worn out casing,
which probably would bring a dollar
or so from the junk man.

Our Plan

Is to bring the 'Wants-to-
Sell and Wants-to-Buy to-
gether. Those wanting a
certain kind of property are
invited to send US a descrip-
ton of the want. We will ad-
vertise these wants at no cost
to the Wants, except in case
of a sale or a tenant secured,
when a commission will be
expected from the owner of
the property. The name of
the party who wants will be
unknown. This is the most
fair and sure method of sat-
isfying a prospective buyer.
Also if properties for sale
are listed with us, we will ad-
vertise them, giving special
advertising and effort to sell
to each individual property;
and satisfactory results by
this plan should be sure. We
do not wait for buyer to
come and ask US to sell him
something; we find and bring
Buyer and Seller together.
