TO ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter Of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory,
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our,
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruins
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives SO much for your
money.

A SPLENDID CONTRIBUTION.

Again yesterday afternoon at the shpbuilding
plant Pensacola built ship was launched and an
other record established for ship-buildng The
Sherman took the water nearer completion than any
other ship which has been launched in Pensacola
and experts said that the vessel could have gone
out under her steam had it been necessary for
her to do So
The Pensacola Shipbuilding company is not only
the foremost ship building plant in the SOUTH but
it ranks any other plant in the United States, in
production
According to a recent number of The Rivet pub
lished by the shpbuildtng company and its en-
ployes, the Pensacola company leads the entire
United States in the shipbuding industry. Edi-
torially The Rivet recently said:
We have done the thing we have tried to so
long to do. We have gained the name we have
longed so much to have. We have learned the
craft we have worked so long to master. We
are Shipbuilders There are no better any
where"
That is wonderful record to have been estab-
lished in so short a time There are number of
factors which have contributed to the splendid &C
complishment First and foremost is the co-opera-
tive spirit which exists between the men at the
head of the plant and the force of employees But,
added to this is the splendid location OF the Pen
saeoa shipbuilding plant
At public meeting member of the shipbuilding
company made the statement that before selecting
Pensacola as site. Paul P. Stewart who now heads
the company, spent many months visiting plants
and locations all over the country but selected
Pensacola. because he found the combination Of
depth of water, equitable climate and cooperation
of the citizens hard to beat
member of the Aberthaw Construction company
which is building the dry docIs -or Pensacola
recently stated that he had Travelled the country
over and had found nowhere city to compare
with Pensacola in climate, winter and summer
There are few days when the weather is not such
as to permit work out in the open. either in the
coolest winter day in midsummer
Pensacola has the best shipbuilding plant in the
United States, if we take production the base IL
estimate And the Pensacola shipbulding plant has
the best location in the United States combination
like that is hard to beat.

BErIER STOCK FOR FLORIDA

The extension depart ment OF the College Of Agri-
culture at Gainesville is putting Better Sires-
Better Stock" campaign. and is urging the cattle
breeders and dairymen of the state to join:
Editorialy, the Times Union says:
The scrub sire of any kind together with the
cow which does not produce milk enough to pay
for the feed she consumes. barely does so.
and the loafer hen Improbable to keep should
go the path which leads to the butcher. AS
scrubs are eliminated and pure bred sires sub
stituted the breeder Of cattle. horses and mules,
the dairyman and the poultry raiser will get
better results for the feed provided and there
fore greater profits for the same cost in money
and labor Consumers will have the benefit of
better quality OF products and breeders and
other producers will profit by greater demand
and less waste of feed.
In line with this is the movement of the Florida
Development board in the direction Of pure-bred
cattle for the state and the advertising Foridas
possibilities as a livestock centre will be one of
the activities Of that association
West Florida is fast taking rank as a section Of
the state we'll adapted to the raising of pure-bred
cattle and hogs. The Richland farm near Pensa-
cola has already put in of the finest sres in
the SOUTH Herford bull. which traces his lineage
back to the finest stock in his class. aud which
cost originally than two thousand dollars. On
the farm at present are hundred and fifty head
of Herford and an equal number of other breeds OF
pure-bred cattle.
The blue ribbon at the Florida state fair, 1918.
was won by Duroc Jersey hog from the Richland
farm, which is well stocked at this time with about
three hundred pure-bred hogs. having sold off
about two hundred during the past year
All over the country, farmers are coming to realize
more fully the necessity of raising pure-bred ami
mails and the advantages that this part of the
try has over other sections. Peanut fed hogs are
the fattest and sweetest that be had. And the
peanut is prolific grower in this part Of the state.
The Florida Development board will institute
campaign to advertise the peanut fed hog, and show
his advantages other hogs. campaign will
be put on to popularize the peanut fed pork. and
to create premium market for the same, well as
to impress upon farmers of the state the Importance
OF putting in purebred stock
