this country and thousands of years
in other countries. the sooner will

the same old bovine stuff sent out
by commercialists who are in the
game with their kept press to boost
the price of necessities and the ex-
cuses therefor. If there was any
danger of a shortage of rubber in
Ia
carded tires would be bringing some
cash to the kids of every town in
