two shifts, each of them working hours a day.
 We have not gone into the tire busi- ness without knoYing our book pretty we'll.
 We know, for instance that no tire man. ufacturer can exist without making min imum of 300 tires day-so we built fac tory of sufficient size to make 500 tires a daY-and we are going to make that many every day without shadow of doubt.
 We have been most conservative, and 1 think intelligent, in the spending of money entrusted to us by our stockho1d- CTS.

On one side of this circular will be printed two views of the factory from the base of the hill on, which it is built, and the other showing it's location on the main line of the New York & New Haven Railroad.
 The pictures were taken on Friday Feb ruary fl, 1921.
 On the back of this circular will be print ed story of what the folks of New Ha- ven and West Haven think of our enter prise. There will also be printed on it a list of contractors and manufacturers who have built and equipped the factory, to- gether with the amount of l-.oney each has thus far received from the company.
