The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-09-15

Although the two great FireStone plants at Akron are turn
ing out daily $4,000 tires and $4,000 tubes, the demand
from passenger car owners and truck operators continues
to outstrp production.
Additional equipment already ordered for Plant No. 2,
which is devoted exclusively to the manufacture of 3H-
inch tires and tubes, will increase the output of this one
manufacturing unit to 10000 tires a day; while in the pa
rent plant increased equipment for the manufacture of
Cords is steadily building the output to its capacity of
10000 tires daily, which will give a total capacity of
$4,000 tires a day.
These equipment requirements and the need of new steel
plant that will double the output of Firestone Rims, are
being met by an issue of 100000 TO Preferred Stock,
the entire amount being taken by The National City Com
pany, the worlds largest distributors of high-grade secur-
ties. .A
On the financial page of this paper you will find an ad-
Vertisement signed by The National City Company, which
gives some interesting facts about the financial strength of
the Frestone Company-a strength that is founded on

twenty yeats of sound business policy and is an index of
the character of the Company'S products.
The National City Company is in the business of buying
and distributing through its many correspondent offices the
securities of corporations that are so well managed, 50 con-
%SerVatlvely financed and whose products fill such a public
need, that they measure up to its e~xacting standards of
what should constitute a prime investment.
Iii a high tribute to the quality of Firestone products, and
to the great dealer organization through which they are dis
tlbuted that the demand for them should so increase as
to require this additional capital to meet it. And it is a
tribute to the character of the Firestone institution that the
distribution Of this entire $l0,OO00M Preferred Stock is
sue should be undertaken by The National City Com
pany. !
See that you get the values in mileage and service that are
responsible for this demand for Flrestone Tires and this
standing of the Company. Whatever type of tire you
use, there is a FTestone to suit your needs-of a quality
that assures you the economy of MOST MILES PER

INSURANCE RATES DOWN
State Superintendent Travis An
nounees a Decrease Of 10 Per
Cent Throughout Kansas.

Frank L. Travis, superintendent of
insurance, announced recently a 10 per
cent reduction in the cost of fire in
surance throughout Kansas. This was
accomplished by the removal of the
war surcharge of 10 per cent added
to every fire insurance policy written
in the state, except upon farm risks.
The s%urcharge actually was removed
August l, and the collections under it
for the first eleven days of the month
are to be returned to the policy hold
ers. The removal was accomplished
through an agreement made by the SUI
p-erintendent Of insurance with ]. NJ.
Thomas, head of the Fire Association
of Philadelphia, representing the fire
insurance companies. The %surcharge
went into effect November 9, 1918, and
Mr.. Travis ordered it removed April /.
The companies then brought a suit to
prevent the enforcing of this order and
the suit has been pending for four
months and could not be reached for
trial before January.

OLD MOTTO

A motto is nothing but an express
ed purpose or aim. 1t directs and
makes energy. 1t gives life a mean

of this fact the Banks Electric Shoe

Scientific Justice Ends Strike.

The Government Bureau of Stand
ards in Washington is best known
everywhere as a high court of ap-
peal on the fairness of commercial
scales. During the coal famine Of
1917, whey the Eastern States were
dismayed by a threatened strike of
5000 miners in the Cumberland coal
fields because they believed that they
were being cheated of their pay by
inaccurate scales. the bureaus scale
experts saved the day.
Loading two trucks with SCALE
testing machinery, they sped to the
coal fields. Miners and operators
had agreed to accept their findings.
Five out of the six scales were found
to be inaccurate. The errors, in ia
vor of the mine owners. totaIed in
several instancese hundreds OF
pounds to the ton. The strike was
averted; indictments were brought
against the owners; fines were levied
and the pay robbed from the miners
was returned to them. In this d.
rect way scientific standards paid
dividends to the people.-Thomas H.
