Dayton Thorobred Tires,
Brownsville, Texas.
Gentlemen:
In answer to your radio announcement, | will
try and give you some Of the reasons why | use
Dayton Thorobred Tires.
have used Dayton Thorobred tires for many
years and have gotten results beyond expectation,
in fact | have gotten from twenty to thirty thou
sand miles over all kinds of roads, and also where
there was no roads-over cactus and mesquite.
l know there is no reclaimed rubber used in
Dayton Thorobred White Sidewalk Tires. The
white sidewall is not only heat resisting but adds
to the appearance of the car equipped with them.
Another reason why ! like Dayton Thoro-
bred Tires, and why | think they are the best buy,
is because of the stabilized tread. In my opinion
there is no tire on the market that has a tread
equal to the stabilized tread of the Dayton Deluxe
Thorobred Tire. The stabilized tread gives you
perfect road traction, especially on wet pavement,
muddy and slippery roads. | always feel safe
when riding over slippery pavement and muddy
roads when l ride on Dayton Stabilized Deluxe
Tires.
have charge of a number of cars equipped
with Dayton Deluxe Tires, and due to their rug
ged construction | have very little trouble with
punctureS.
In fact the tires | am now using have gone
over nine thousand miles without a single pune
ture and they show very little tread wear. Day.
ton Thorobred tires cost no more than standard
make tires and they give many trouble-free and
safe miles.
| am sincere in my belief that the Dayton
Thorobred Tire is the TIRE OF TIRES.
Your Truly,
w. C.. STIER.

Second Prize

Dayton Thorobred Tires,
Brownsville, Texas.
For five years beginning with thirty-five
miles a day, on roads that were simply terrible,
to the present graded and dragged, or paved high
ways, Dayton Thorobred Tires have given me
perfect satisfaction on my school truck.
KNOW Thorobreds are good tires, sold and
guaranteed by a firm Of proven integrity.
BY every test
Dayton tires are best.
They have more weight, strength, ~pliability,
durability, beauty. They cling to the road better;
therefore they are safer. They are easy to buy,
give thousands of miles Of trouble-free service,
and evEy one I've had has been worth more than
it cost.
These are some of the reasons why / am so
strong for Dayton Tires and the Hicks Rubber
Company, Incorporated. They've helped me get
there on time and never hurt a child.
FRED BARTON,
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-06-17

Gentlemen
Reading your offer of a prize for letters rec
ommending Dayton tires, in the Brownsville Her
aid, I am proud to say the following about my set
of Daytons:
81 have a full set of Daytons on my Chrys-
Ter '52" roadster and have had them a little
over Is months. During this time they have given
me 19, 200 miles of service without the slightest
trouble. Last summer | made a trip through the
Northwest Of 5000 miles on all kinds Of roads
and about 75fo Of the roads covered were gravel
or crushed rock, the latter being very hard on tires
on account of the sharp edges on the rocks. My
tires did not show any cuts from these rocks which
I contribute to the live rubber used in the making
Of Dayton tires.
believe an safe in saying that my tires will
give me at least Is, 900 more miles of service as
there is lots of rubber left and when they do
finally wear out, my next set will be another set
of Daytons."
Signed:
z. E. SALGE.

ciate what the latter figure means
when you are told that the enumer-
ators who will take the 1880 census
will be ar. army of more than 100000.
"Since the 1890 census the nations
of the world have been gradually de-
veloping methods and machinery that
speed up the counting of heads and
the accumulation of vast amount
of data regarding economic, social, ed
ucational and other conditions. Here
in the United States the development
has probably been more far reaching
than in any other country. Conse-
quently the director of the census is
now by law required to enumerate in
the space of one month more than
120000,000 people and at the same
time obtain very extensive informa-
ton about 100000 farms, $4,000
mines, 100000 irrigation and drainage
projects, the facts of employment and
unemployment affecting millions of
people, and also the trade, profession
or particular kind Of work done by
every person of working age in the
nation. Quite a job for four weeks,
is it not? Yet it can and will be COM
pleted in the allotted thirty days"
With the exception of a compara-
lively few, when the vast total is con-
sidered, the original records of every
family enumerated in the 1890 and
subsequent census are on file in the
census bureau. according to Mr.. Steu-
art. The missing records have been
lost or destroyed by accident. How
ever, file on John Hancock has been
preserved and his family was reported
as being made up of two white males
over sixteen years of age, three white
females and seven other free persons,
not white" 1t is presumed the seven
free persons listed as mot white" were
negro servants.
In the taking of the 1860 census,
each person was for the first time
asked to give the value of his or her
real and personal property. The rec
ords for Illinois show that Abraham
Eincoln's family comprised Mr. Lin
coin, his wife, his three sons and a
boy, fourteen years old, named Philip
Dinkell. Mr.. Lincoln said he was
worth $4,000, of which $1,000 was
the value of his real estate, the re-
mainder being personal property. In
the same census James Buchanan list
ed his household as consisting of him
self, his niece, Miss Harriet Lane, and
eleven employees and servants, all of
the latter being of foreign birth.
The system of individual enumer-
alton. was adopted at the census of
1850, and at the same time a number
Of new classiications were added
illiteracy. school attendance. occupa-
ton, place Of birth. age. etc.

so great an improvement in the COM
fort and well-being of the people gen.
orally.
'In 1880 there were As persons for
each square mile of what was then
the United States. The 1890 census,
l believe, will show forty people to
each square mile, or nearly ten times
more than at the time of the first CEN
sus. In 1890 there were six cities in
the United States with more than 5000
inhabitants. Then the cities were re-
sponsible for only 3 per cent of the
population America in those days was
truly agricultural. In 1920 the cities
with more than 5000 inhabitants num-
bered 924 and their population was A
per cent of the national total. Add to
these the little towns and villages of
less than 5000 people and we find that
in 1920 the urban population was lit
tie more than half the total for the
Union"
In accomplishing the huge task
which faces Uncle Sans army of CEN
sus enumerators, they will visit not
only 100000 homes but also more
than 100000 stores, almost 100000
manufacturing plants, and in addition
they will compile data concerning
100000 farms, $4,000 mines and
quarries, 100000 irrigation and drain
age projects. The reason for this is
that the 18th decennial census will

"The 1880 census says Doctor
Steuart, sis going to be, we hope and
believe, the most nearly perfect tabu-
lation of population, business and 9TH

/ say this with the fact in mind that
nearly 5000 years have passed since
the first census was made-when King
David set out to number the people
of Israel and Judah. 1t took him nine
months and twenty days to do the
job, and among the things he found
out was that there were in Israel and
in Judah about 100000 valiant men
that drew the sword
"rThe first census of the. United
States was taken 139 years ago. The
United States was first among the
countries to make a regular periodical
enumeration of its inhabitants part
Of the fundamental law.
"The first American census, taken in
1870, was very limited in scope and
was directed by the United States
marshals. They were allowed thir-
teen months on the job, and when the
totals were added up our population
was about 100000. That census re-
lated solely to population. The name
of the head of the family was taken,
together with the number of persons
in each family, classified as free or
slave. The whites, who were free,
were classified as free whites" as
male or female, and the free whites
males as over or under sixteen years

to it. The marshals who supervised

head of family; home owned or rented,

ability to speak English, whether en-
ployed and trade or profession, wheth-
er veteran of any American war.
But lest you should feel that the
asking of these questions is meddle-
some interference in your private af-
fairs, let it be stated at once that the
man or woman who calls at your home
and asks you these questions is census
enumeration, engaged in the huge task
of taking the 18th decennial CEN
sus of population in the United States,
in accordance with Article l of the
Constitution of the United States, that
you are required by law to give true
answers to the questions and that
there is no real reason whatsoever
why you should not answer them. For
you have this assurance from Dr. Will
liam M. Steuart, chief of the bureau
of the census, in regard to it:
mo citizen need hesitate to answer
the questions asked by the enumera-
tors. The facts, so far as the indi-
vidual is concerned, will be safe in the
hands of the government and will new
err be disclosed. No one need have
the slightest fear that his personal or
business secrets will ever be disclosed
to friend or foe. The oath of the emu
merator requires that he shall keep
secret the answers to queries. If he
does not, he is guilty of a crime, and
If detected there is not the slightest
doubt as to what will happen. The
law will be invoked and enforced to
the limit"
The 1880 census will be the greatest
counting of noses" in the history of
the world When it is completed Uncle
Sam will know just how many more
children he has than he had in 1920.
AS to what the population Of the
United States will be, Doctor Steuart
says:
1T will be more than 121,OOO,OOO
and less than 125,OOO,0OO. We are GER
tain as to this, because we know that
the population of the continental Unit
ed States is now increasing at the rate
of about 100000 persons each year.
or, to put it another way, at the ap-
proximate rate of one person every
twenty seconds. These totals are
made up of the annual excess of
births over deaths, which amounts to
about 1,15O,000, and the excess of i'm
migration over emigration, which gives
JUS an additional 100000 each year.
The 1880 census will show that our
people are thirty times as many as
were in the country in 1870 and near
iy twice as many as in 1890, or only
forty years ago.
History records no instance in
which population has so rapidly in
creased as has been the case in the
United States. Neither is it of record
that the increase in population has
