A. f. Osterloh, wee president and
general manager of the Goodyear Tire

world in the form of reports Of an adj
dress delivered there by P. w. Litch-
field, factory manager of the Good
year Tire and Rubber company, Inc, of
Akron, before the East Akron board
of trade.
Mr.. Litchfield said:
"Business is on the way upward. The
rubber business was one of the first
to suffer and is now the first to re-
cover Tire manufacturing which is ap-
proximately 70 per cent of the rubber
business is OH q sound fundamental

"in the spring of 1920 the monthly
wage average at Goodyear was 250 per
cent of the 1914 wage, with the cost
of living 215 per cent of the 1914 cost
of living. Today the purchasing power
of the average employe is approximate

Approximately 20 per cent greater than
in any year since 1914 except 1921.

TRACTORS PROVE
VALUE ON FARM

Results of survey made by the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture in
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska show
that the cost of tractor power i'll the
winter wheat belt is somewhat greater
than when horses We're used for the
work, but three-fourths of the farmers
approached said they believed their
tractors were profitable investments,
and ~ per cent intended to buy other
tractors when needed.
The principal advantages of the trac-
tor, the report states, are the ability
Of the machines to do more work in a
given time, and the saving of horses in
hot weather. Among the disadvan-
tages given were first cost and depre-
citation, and running expenses were
mentioned frequently. The tractor was
used as primary source of power for
field work by SO per cent Of the owners,
while Al per cent used the tractors as
supplementary to horse power.
