 suppose every man has an ambition to become a big factor in the business world, particularly after he has had little taste of success. admit to an ambition to- build up big business bearing my name mot that want to pile up money for moneys sake, because if had millions could not get more out of life than am now getting, so far as the needs and de- -sires of my fanlilyar concerned,
 If one has talent in any particular direc- ton think he owes it to the world to use it so that many will be benefited by it.
 Fifteen years ago. became interested in automobile tires. I used to watch the wheels of automobiles go round and round, knowing that they and the cars themselves and their. occupants depended upon the tires for comfort, certainly, and for safety to great extent.
 suppose tires fascinated me the same as. music, or art or engineering or politics or the many other things in the world faScinate other people, so started to sell tires, but l did more than that, inyesti- gated the quality of the tires before re- commended them to my customers.
 There are many good tires, but got the idea after experimenting and testing for several years that could design tire that would be more nearly perfect non-skid tire than any tire Fever. saw. The young woman who worked with me in my office became greatly interested in my ambition to design tire of this kind and in the manufacture of it. A smart, loyal woman is great help to a man if he has the sense to appreciate her. -
 This young woman took so much inter est in me that began to take great in- tereSt in her, but frankly took in her very different kind of interest. As mat ter of fact l fell head over heels in love with her and told her so and asked her to marry me-and she said she would. We are married and have three children and are partners in the true sense of the word.
 For several years now we have saved a good part of the money we have. earned and all we saved we kept putting back into the business, Knowing that it would grow if we pushed it harder. Then my dream about designing the non-skid tire came true. .s..
 Igave it the name Martin Cord Tire" /" which is known favorab1y by the trade all over the country. lf,there is better tire l do not know where it can be found. have absolute faith in its quality and its endurance and especially in it's non-skid feature. It is made in all sizes and retails from S1o.Oo (the, price for the smallest tire) to S121.0O (the price for the biggest tire used on truckS).
 Although the Martin Cord Tire has been on the market for a short time only, it is being used by thousands of automobile owners who prefer it to any other tire That is but natural, however, because every automobile owner thinks his car i: the car for him and he thinks the same about the tire he chooses for it. It i. humanfor all of us to think that the thing that we like are the best. There is such general liking for the Martin Cord. Tir, that over. $500, ,ooo of them are already il use, which justifieS me in claiming that i lSa success
 l know that I can sell my share of tire and make all the moneyI shall ever need also all that my wife and children vii ever need. --,'.~
 But that is not the, thing.
