LOW PRICED
TIRE OFFERED
BY GOODYEAR

Good tires and high prices are
associated in the minds of most
motorists, but the impression that
a sturdy and Serviceable tire can
not be purchased at low price is
erroneous, according to j. B. Nc
Niece of McNeece and McNeece, To-
cal Goodyear dealers located at
Sixth and Broadway.
"Ten years ago the leading tire
companies, such as the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company, con-
centrated their efforts on turning
out one high class brand of tire
and no attempt was made to make
inexpensive tires" says McNeece.
However, with the use of cars
fast becoming universal, and the
used car business growing into an
important factor of the industry,
various grades of tires are now
available.
1.-THE Goodyear company was one
of the first to recognize the i'm
portance of offering a high grade,
low priced tire.
"The Pathfinder tire is the re-
suit. This big burly brute of tire
is comparable to the infantryman IS
field boot. 1t is husky and rugged,
but surprisingly inexpensive.
"'While the Pathfinder was dew
eloped primarily as a loW-priced
quality casing, it Incorporates many
characteristics of beauty which
make it suitable for use on the
snappiest sport roadster or the most
dignified sedan,

ALL REBUILT
BATTERIES TO
BE LABELED

A state law passed recently by
California legislature now protects
the car owner against fraud and de
ception in buying rebuilt batteries
according to J. B. McNeece of Nc
Niece and McNeece, local EXide
dealers.
Under this state law" explained
McNeece, all rebuilt batteries sold
or offered for sale in California
must be labeled rebuilt The law
prescribes the exact manner, too
in which this is done The word
rebuilt must be moulded upon
the connector straps in letters no.
less than one-half inch high. In
addition to this. the word rebuilt.
together with the rebuilder's name
and address, must be printed on
two sides of the battery in letters
not less than one-half inch high.
The penalties for violation of
this law continued McNeece, are
fine of $3.50 or punishment by
imprisonment in Jail for not more
than six months or both fine and
Imprisonment
The law defines a rebuilt bat
terry as one that is composed
wholly, or in part, of used plates or
groups
There is no sound argument
which can be offered in favor of
buying a rebuilt battery. While it
is true that a good rebuilt battery
may give temporary service, it is
also true that nobody knows
whether or not he is buying a
good rebuilt battery and, further
more. no one knows when the re-
built battery will suddenly give out
and leave its owner with a stalled
car on his hands.
Rebuilt batteries" concluded Nc
Niece, ARE made mostly from the
junk pile and no amount of black
paint on the outside will alter this
fact. When a battery is thrown on
the junk pile it is usually because
its parts are worn out and never
because 1T is as good as new or
can be made so at a low cost"

what's new and smart, and like as
not will produce the very thing best
calculated to send your stock sky
high with the recipient of your
gift.
If, on the contrary, you are a
woman seeking a gift for some
other woman, your only difficulty
will be to restrain yourself from
selfishly grabbing everything in
