Balloon Tire Leadership

Firestones latest contribution to motoring is the
low air pressure or Balloon Tire. This, the
original tull-size Balloon, was made practical by
the special Firestone Gum Dipping process, in
sulating every fibre of each cord, adding great
strength and stamina. Firestone has also simpl-
fed the application of full-size Balloon tires to
your present car by designing a special unit con-
slstng OF tires, tubes, rims and spokes applied by
any dealer at very low cost.

COVERED BY BONDS

The First National Bank of Plen-
tywOod closed its doors Thursday
morning just after the train arrived
from the east, bringing Cashier J.
w. Mckee and President Art LANCER
back from a fruitless quest for
money from the new agricultural
credit bank which has been recently
incorporated in the sum of ten mil
lions Of dollars in order to furnish
one hundred millions of credits to
the banks and farmers of the north
west which was organized at the re-
quest of President Coolidge to save
the northwest.
Upon their return from the east
the officers of the First National
Bank Immediately put the sign in
the window and pulled up the cur
tains. They did not wait a week or
two before they could get the cour-
age, and they did not tell the public
a lot of spOcfy yarn about being solv-
ent but short of funds or that they
were going to reOrganize in a couple
of days or that the depositors would
be paid off in full. AS warriors whA
have fought a long, losing fight
against forces in the financial world
over which they have no more con-
troll than the unfortunate farmers,
and knowing that before the debacle
in which the financial world now finds
itself, that net one small banking in
PstitUtiOn will be left and very few
small business houses of any kind
will remain, they put up the sign
and took the count like men.
