Traders On FordPs
 Name Stepped On

Trading upon a name, we'll known in the automobile world to gain the confidence of investors, is one method employed by Pennsylvania concern. the Ford Tire and Rubber company Of Erie, Pa, to promote the sale of stock in an enterprise for the rebuilding of old worn out automobile tire casings, says a bulletin from the National Njgi-' lance committee of the Associated Ad- vertising Clubs. reporting an lnvesI- gation made by the committee.
 Liberal reference to the widely ad- vertised motor company and its rc- complishments was found throughout the literature of the promotion. The earnings of long -establishad ed and re- putable tire companies were also dis played as a subtle means Of arousng the get rich quick instinct of the average investor Tn drawing vivid comparisons of the earnings of the larger tire manufacturers, the promo ters did not distinguish between profits in tire manufacturing and tire rebuild ing" the bulletin of the Advertising Clubs points out ''There was also a noticeable absence of reported earnings Of any existing tire rebuilding com pany, although the country is full of such concerns. Another advertising claim was that the largest en1 of the rubber business was the rebI'.ding of tires, which on the face of it. IS ab- surd, because more tires cannot be re- built than there are tires manufec e tured.
 "The minimizing reader was carried beyond any such discrepancies by an alluring guarantee of a one hundred | per cent advance in the stoca within | 50 days, though even here 1t was not stated whether the advance would be | in the value or the price of the stock. says the bulletin. Although there is nothing new or original in the idea CT rebuilding and retreading automobile tires, the desire to quickly make ,urge profits seems to remain ever new With | the public.
 '"The experience Of the National l Vigilance Committee, in the investiga- tion of this and similar compan es shows that at best, the rebuilding of tires is a secondhand business Ge- pending almost entirely a product whose quality is controlled by the con-
 dition of the carcass to be rebuilt This brings in q factor worthy ol 1 careful study by investors. namely
 that no company can hope for sue 1 cess on "one- time" sales, and, "con- l cIudes the bulletin" as a rule old
 worn-out castings are old worn out

RESERVE 5 \ N K. OFFICIAL W AR N 5. AGAINST RUMORS

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4-(SpeciaD -Cautioning the members Of the Mo ter Truck association at its recent meeting here against the belief of false rumors and eXaggeration during the readjustment period, William H. Hut deputy governor of the Philadelphia district Federal Reserve bank stated: ''The decrease in the purchasing power of money during the recent unsettled times, has had much to do with the state of mind of the public. While production has increased in the last six or seven years, it has not increased in proportion to demand which was stimulated mainly by high wages
 Currency, in that period. increased 70 per cent, and bank deposits more than 100 per cent. The increased amount of currency per capita has had the effect of decreasing it's purchasing power. It is a most gratifying reflec- tion on the healthy condition of your business that you have not been in to see us, except as to rumors and re- ports. as to why the Federal Reserve Board or banks have discriminated against your industry"
 ITO my knowledge there has been no discrimination against the motor car industry as such Up to now no curtailment of credit for your industry has been put into effect. Tn fact, up to a few weeks ago loans for commercial purposes have been larger than ever before. As liquidation becomes easier, money will become easier
 Tt is also a splendid sign for our country" he concluded, that while We have passed through similar exper- fences before, even without wartimes and undue price imitation, for the first time in the country's history, prices have started down without a bank panic"
 'If all lines conduct their business sanely, there is no reason why anyone should worry"

 The amount of bonds authorized in the state of Virginia was not fixed in the referendum measure, but the legis- lature may under the law vote bonds to the extent of approximately s5O,- 000. 900.

 The funds derived from state and local bond issues, however and that to be received from the federal gov crnment will be spread out over a period of years and it is doubtful whether much more than one-half of this vast sum will be applied to the coustruction and maintenance of roads during 1921.
