Through this thrift movement. be-
gun in December 1917, the govern.
ment has marketed to millions OF pur-
chasers savings, securities to a total
exceeding s1,121, 100000. Despite the
falling off in interest on the part OF
the public in these securities follow
ing the armistice, the sales began to
increase last summer, showing that
the efforts Of the treasury to stem the
tide of extravaganza and develop hab-
it's of saving were beginning to bear
fruit.
1.-The development of this. savings
, movement during recent months has
been very encouraging. Since the be-
! ginning Of the present school year,
more than 5000 savings societies have
been organized in the schools OF TIE
Fifth Federal Reserve District. In
many school rooms and grades every
child is member of Savings Society,
having agreed to save Systematically
and invest his savings in Thrift and
War Savings Stamps. How much this
movement means potentially is sug.
gested by the fact that during the

amount in these securities.

In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: "How much can

product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become &C

Germ - noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that it's policy is right.
A perfect tire is simply a matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-

But standards come first. For III
tire making there is vast room for
skirnping, for subtle economies, for

build high-grade tires.
