This IS called ''the Firestone year" in the tire business because Firestone has accomplished so many things that mean better tire service and more mileage per dollar.
 The illustration above shows what Firestone has done for users of cord tires, for instance. The Firestone Cord IS built to the largest size established by the industry.

Severe Winter Predicted.

An exchange says it is predicted
that we are going to have an early
fall and a severe winter, and the
signs presaging this are that the
blackbirds are migrating south
earlier than usual, and many flocks
have already gone, which usually
occurs about the middle of Septem-
Der. The coats of ground hogs and
squirrels are unusually thick and
heavy, while the latter are storing
large quantities of food. Heavy
growths of moss are also to be seen
on the northern side of the trunks
of trees, which is also said to be a
sure sign of long and cold winter.
