EMPIRE TIRES
MEET DEMANDS
Account of One of the Oldest
Rubber Companies Handled by
The Lewis Bear Company.

Among all the lines which the Lewis
Bear Co. have added to their new de-
partures in accessories, perhaps the
most important, at least, In volume of
dollars, is the tire line.
They congratulate themselves that
they have been fortunate enough to
secure the exclusive representation in
Pensacola and its environments of the
famous Empire line.
Empire tires consist of the average
standard fabric tire. the new and large
size Cord tires, with an attractive and
well-proven design of Non-skid on
both types of construction; the old
famous Empire Peerless red tube
which has been the standard to be
obtained by all manufacturers of
red tubes and which, to date, has never
been surpassed either In the United
States or the European countries.
As the name indicates, Peerless
tubes are the synonym for suprem-
acy in red tube construction and
manufacture.
Empire has adopted the slogan, for
their Peerless red tube of Good in any
case. but best in the Empire CASE
They also manufacture a Standard
gray tube, which gives a comprehen-
sive line that takes care of the needs
The line of tire accessories consists
Of boots, casing patches, tube patches,
inner liners, Ito help out the life of
old casings) cements and repair ma,
terials, radiator hose, brake Innings,
gasoline hose, outside boots, Ito help
a cripple reach honeI all of which are
part OF the line o. supplies which
the Lewis Bear GO. is offering under
the well-known brand of Empire.
Empire Rubber & Tire Co., is one Of
the oldest of the rubber companies now
in existence, and has had a continued
and successful career. While they
have not attained the size perhaps nor
the production of some of the larger
Western companies since they have
been perhaps more conservative as is
customary in the East when compared
with the West, they have gone on in
their less expanded fashion to make
only good products and to maintain
their conservatism in the lines of
high standards in quality for their
products.
The Empire Rubber & Tire Co. was
formed about 1889 and has had a con-
tinued prosperous existence since that
time. It was the child of General
Charles Edward Murray and under
his guiding hand grew conservatively
but continuously up until 1917 when
it was re-organized under the direc-
ton of his sons, J. Cornell Murray
and Chas. Edward Murray, Jr., who
associated with them J. E. Baum. They
continued the progress made by Gen
eral Murray up until the beginning of
1920, when new interests We're enlist
ed and new personnel was brought to
bear upon their career for the future

Judge Saint served in the Legtsla-

favor Of John NJ. Parker He is expe-

While the necessity of new work
able constitution for this state is
greater at this time than it ever has
been" Judge Saint said, Il do not
think the difficulty of constructing this
constitution will be nearly so great an
the necessity for 1t.
From expressions | have read from
different members Of the convention,
IT seems reasonably certain that a
short instrument will be had instead
of a cumbersome, long-winded thing
as We now have This is one Of the
most important features of constitu-
ton which should be considered be
fore the convention gets down TO work
on the constitution itself and the pros
pect Is very encouraging. | think that
the constitution of 1868, after eliminat-
ing the reconstruction articles, could
be used almost In its entirety.
"Of course it will be necessary 10
add a few new ordinances to the in
strument for the purpose Of meeting
new conditions, but this need not in
dictate that a long constitution will
be necessary.
THE three most important new or
dinances will be the suffrage, reorgan-
ization of the courts, and taxation. The
matter Of taxation is vital. | think
that some good ideas may be had from
the amendment proposed during the
Hall administration, generally known
as the Hall amendment Naturally,
this amendment viii lrequire very Sc
rious changes. At all events, this
amendment contains some very good
features, and 1t will require the talent
and industry Of some experts and level
headed business men to work out Q
satisfactory ordinance on taxation.

First among recommended steps,
Mr.. Wilson placed enactment of
workable budget system" He said
he had vetoed the budget bill passed
at the last session reluctantly" and
because of "a constitutional objec-
ton" but as it was later revised in
the house, he believed it would, with
other measures, furnish foundations
for a national budget system"
Mr. Wilson cited figures as to the
national debt and urged rigid econ
