Firestone has Always maintained that
he would not be SO happy if a remind
er of his earlier days was not constant
ly before his eyes.
The name Harbel Manor is derived
from combination Of the first names
of Mr.. and Mrs. Firestone, Mrs. Fire
stones name being Idabelle. The farm
part Of the estate contains numerous
buildings which have been constructed
along the most approved lines for the
housing Of cattle. The latest and most
efficient equipment for sanitation has
been installed. At times there have
been as many as 100 head of cattle on
the grounds, including Side Hill Orms-
by Segris, Holstein COW, an especially
fine specimen of the breed. In one
day, on April II, 1880, she produced
1893 pounds Of milk, approximately
rs quarts. In seven days during that
month she produced 1908 pounds Of
milk and in thirty days 4115.3, world
record for a nine-year-old. AS five
year-old she was the United States
champion for dairy cows of all ages.
Higher Price for Quality Milk
Mr.. Firestone regards himself as too
good farmer to operate an enterprise
of this kind strictly for fun. He makes
this city-situated farm pay for itself.
1t has taken long time to lift it to
the point where it is self-sustaining,
but the quality Of milk produced there
has made that possible. One hundred
and fifty or more families living in the
West Hill district are Mr.. Firestone's
customers. The milk sells at higher
price than that distributed through the
regular channels, but it's richness in
butter fat content and its purity Gre
ate a big demand for it. The milk
averages per cent butter fat, against
3.5 of the standard quality.
1t has been Mr.. Firestone's aim to
improve the breed of the cattle on his
two farms, as might any ambitious
farmer, rather than to expend huge
sums Of money in the purchase of
blooded stock only to show. With this
in mind he has built slowly, hoping
that the capitalization of his efforts

HARVEY S. FIRESTONE, tire
IH manufacturer and pioneer Of
RRR the rubber industry, has
akSv never forgotten that he began
life as farmer boy. 1t is not the GUS
tomary recreations Of men of great
wealth which interest him-not cruis-
ing about the world aboard a palatial
yacht, not collecting treasures of the
art world. Mr.. Firestone likes dirt
farming and enjoys talking about it.
He catches the instinct from his late
father, whom he describes as not only
mighty good farmer, but just about
the best business man he has ever
known. His own life has been modelled
pretty much on the precepts of child
hood.
1t is to farming that Mr.. Firestone
turns for genuine relaxation from the
cares and responsibilities Of business
life. He has two farms, one of 600
acres at Columbiana, Ohio, and the
other adjacent to his residence within
the city limits of Akron, where the
huge Firestone rubber plants are To-
Gated. Both farms have been pro-
nounced models of scientific operation.
1t has taken many years of careful
development to bring them to their
present state Of perfection. On them
are some of the finest blooded stock in
the country.
A Model Farm
The Akron farm has novel if not
antique features. Its 100 acres, reach
ing out in picturesque sweep from
Harbel Manor, the magnificent Fire
stone home, skirt the golf links of the
Portage Country Club on one side and
adjoin the properties Of the city's best
homes on the other. So far as is
known, it is one Of the exceedingly
few model farms which have setting
Of exactly that nature-in the heart Of
city's exclusive residential section.

meeting place between the homely
spirit of the American farm and the
more modern trend of living. Mr..

New Lexington, O.,-Mary Cloves,
who offered to marry the first mar
who would give her parents $4,000,
has received the blessing and praise of
her aged father and mother.
She made the offer in New Eagle,
Pa. Her parents live in a drab, frame
house at Misco, one of the few remain
ing structures of a once prosperous
mining village.
Mrs. Cloves is 80 a crippled wo-
man who held crutches by her side
as she sat before a coal stove and dis
cussed "Mary's strange idea"
Her story was that of adversely.
"At first we didn't like it," she
said, 'but my husband said she was
doing more than most girls would.
Mary's a good girl"
Mrs. Cloves had 10 children. The
family prospered when mining was
good. They ran a small store.
Then, in 1925, Walter Cloves was
killed in the mines. Carl was killed
two years later by a chimney.
A mine strike was called. The
Cloves store failed. The miners NOV
ed away. Wlliam Cloves, the father,
leased a mine. The mine was closed.
Mary was forced to leave school. She
went to Pennsylvania to work. She
lost two jobs. Then came her offer of
marriage for $4,000, the money to
go to her family.
