You know there is always q measure of sat isfaction in succeeding with what one sets out to do.
 feel very good about getting James Mar tin to become the President of the Martin Tire & Rubber Company, and to have him say that he is glad to be the head of the company and to manufacture the Martin Cord Tire in the factory now nearing completion in West Haven, Conn.,, which, while a separate town, is really part of New Haven.
 It has been q long struggle for me to bring about the present satisfactory situation in the company's affairs. l have lived in New Haven since February, 1919, and have been the job day and night, planning and build ing q factory which will be credit, I am sure, to this prosperous Connecticut community.
 The hardest part of my job, however, was to find q leader for this tire enterprise.
 l became interested in the tire business through q personal friend, who intended to go along with in organizing company, but his health broke and had to go it alone practically. But 1 in it and I made up my mind to go through with it.
 No man ever had the backing of more loyal stockholders than l have had, and I think it is only fair to myself to say that group of stockholders ever had any man more willing to honestly represent them by making every dollar count, than I have been.
 All the stockholders are nightly pleased that their money has been used in the build ing of something that is tangible asset The whole enterprise has been free from usual promotion methods, which take peoples money by wonderful promises and then give them nothing back for their money.
 Less than million dollars has been in vested in this enterprise, but there is thing to show for every dollar subscribed by the stockholders. Personally I take much satisfaction in making this statement I do in telling you about the factory nearly ready for business.
 It is confidently expected that we will be able to start manufacturing tires by the mid dlc of March. Contractors have assured that they will be ready by that time. We will be very glad to get started, because we have bona tide orders books right for tires to the amount of $75O,OOO.
 1 doubt if any other company engaged in the manufacture of tires ever booked orders to this amount months in advance of starting the factory
 There is a reason for our booking so many orders in advance of starting operations, and that reason is due to the confidence reposed in Mir. James Martin, the President of the company, who en- joys the reputation of be- ing not only a very square man but who who has built up for himself big trade among the dealers of the country, all of whom know that he gives them honest deal and always makes good when he promises to deliver them tires. He has established ready made market for his tires and, I believe hon. eshy, before our factory has been running six months will be working night and day to fill orders.

Prior to the new arrangement the
tax was l per cent OH sales of manu-
facturers to jobbers, and per cent Oh
sales Of jobbers TO retailers and re-
tailers to consumers. Now the manu-

The situation is complicated, how
ever, by an exception, III the. case OF
imported goods, sales Of which to re-
tailers and consumers must carry a !
per cent tax, while to all Others the
figure is 21-2 per cent.
Certain changes also have been
made in the customs duties ard regu-

pal feature is the new ruling that all
imported goods capable Of Icing mark

on them in some Mariner, in both

Though excess profits and luxury

YOUNGEST VETERAN
" World War Is Only Eleven Years
Old.

So many stories about "the young
est veteran of the World War" have
been printed that l asked the Ameri-
can legion to settle officially just who
is the youngest, writes E. NJ. Thicry
New York newspaper man.
Here is the answer: Sergt. Berne
L. Wooley of Salt Lake City. Sergeant
Wooley is II years old.
An exhaustive investigation cover
ing eight weeks was carried on by the
American Legion.
The records Of many youthful vets
were examined. For time a IA
year-old soldier al Fort Riley, Kan.
was believed TO have the laurcls.
But the investigation disclosed that
young Wooley was officially enlisted in
the United States Marine Corps when
he was Z. He was recently honorably
discharged in Salt Lake City after
four years and nine days of active SER
vice.
When Sergeant Wooley's four broth
ers went TO the recruiting station q
week after America entered the. war.
Berne accompanied them. He made
such an impassioned appeal to be al
lowed to take on with his brothers
that q compromise was reached and
he was permitted to enlist in the re-
cruitinS division.
The name of Berne /. Wooley went
on the regular records. In 1920 SHIFT
was made and he was ordered to Den
vcr for duty. Later he was stationed
at San Francisco marine headquarters.
In the meantime the boy had gained
two stripes as corporal over his ORR
ginal rating as a private, and later he
got three stripes as 4 sergeant. Now,
following his honorable discharge, lie
is seeking admission to the American
Legion.
Sergeant Wonley's discharge certi-
ficate shows that he is responsible for
more than 200 men Joining the mar
ines.
