I suppose every man has an ambition to be- come a big factor in the business world, par ticularly after he has had a little taste of sue cess. l admit to an ambition to build up big business bearing my name--not that want t" pile up money for moneys sake, because It I had millions I could not get more out ot life than I am getting, far as the needs and desires of my family are concerned.
 If one has talent in any particular direction I think he owes it to the world to use it so that many will be benefited by it.
 Fifteen years ago I became interested in automobile tires. l used to watch the wheels of automobiles go round and round, know ing that they and the cars themselves and their occupants depended upon the tires for comfort, certainly, and for safety to q great extent.
 I suppose tires fascinated me the same aS music or art engineering or politics or the many other things in the world fascinate other people, SO l started to sell tires, but l did more than that l investigated the quality ot the tires before recommended them to my customers.
 There arc many good tires, but got the idea after experimenting and testing for sev- craI years that could design tire that would be more nearly perfect non-skid tire than any tire ever saw. The young woman who worked with me in my office became greatly interested in my ambition to design n tire of this kind and in the manufacture ot it. smart, loyal woman is great help to man 1t he has the sense to appreciate her.
 This young woman took so much interest in me that l began to take great interest in her, but frankly I took in her very differ cnt kind of interest. As matter of fact l fell head over heels in love with her and told her so and asked her to marry mc-and she said she would. We married and have three children and are partners in the true sense of the word.
 For several years now we have saved a

 gave it the name Martin Cord Tire" which is known favorably by the trade all over the country. If there is a better tire do not know where it can be found. have absolute faith in its quality and it's endurance and es- pecally in its non-shid feature. It is made in all sizes and rctails from $lo.OO (thc price for the smallest tire) to $l2lo0 (the price for the biggest tire used on trucks)
 Although the Martin Cord Tire has been the market for short time only, it is being used by thousands of automobile owners who prefer it to any other tire. That is but natur- nl, however, because every automobile owner thinks his car is the car for him and he thinks the same about the tire he chooses for 1t. It is human for all of us to think that the things that we like the best. There is such general liking for the Martin Cord Tire that over 5oo, ,ooO of them already in use, which justiics in claiming that it is success.
 know that l sell my share of tires and make all the money shall ever need, also all that my wife and children will ever need.
 But that is not the thing.
 Who wants to go along with the sole idea of serving only his family, particularly after he realizes that he hns succeeded in produc- ing something good that should be manufnc- tured in sufficient quantity to meet the de- mande
 My wife and have made, fairly and hon estly, enough money to retire if wanted to, but I would die if did not work and my wife and children would not have any respect for me if I did not work. VI a-. >.- a'---
