what is more to the point in this comparison,
Goodrich Tires in 1920 give on the average nearly
double the number Of miles per tire.
The Goodrich adjustment basis of 5000 miles

today's prices give motorists twice the mileage at

SOFT WOOD MADE BEAUTIFUL
Proper Application OF Finishing Meth

Costly Material.

Beautiful wood floors, approximate

maple floors found In the best type of
homes, can be developed, with the aid
of proper finishing methods and ma
terials. in such woods as pine. fir, and
cypress. says n bulletin OF large
American company. These so-called
soft woods are very durable and
possess not little natural beauty Of
grain.
Hardwood effects are secured on soft
woods by staining with an oil wood
stain. consisting of permanent color
pigment In an oil vehicle. These
stains are particularly adapted TO use
on the soft woods. The effect Is COM
pleted by applying a thin coat of shell
lac and finishing with two coats of
prepared wax or floor yarnlsh.
The first step toward obtaining the
desired finish Is to sandpaper the wood
smoothly. The stain should then be
applied freely with brush. and. az
ter being allowed to stand for about
FIVE or ten minutes, buffed of with
cloth. When the stain has dried for
"a hours the shellac and wax or var
nish may be applied as described.
A deeper effect than that procured
by the method outlined may be OBJ
tanned by the use of a varnish stain
over the oil wood stain. Both should.
