This plan was abandoned for Hip

of a letter to be submitted to the I'nited '

ment. It is understood Hint flip Iptter
requires approval by the 1'uitPil Statps
Senate in order to make the pledge
effective, and if this approval is given,
by resolution or otherwise, the engage

maintain the engagement is not nn

with the principles of the league of

It is expected the prnvi-ion that Hip

FACTS
ARE STAR TIRES .is good as I say they are or
am I too enthusiastic?
I have been asking some of the best known men in
Philadelphia what THEY think about STAR TIRES '
and I haven't found any one yet who has used them
who wants to go back to any other kind.
Here's a letter from Mr. J. II. WEEKS, President
of the Keystone Automobile Club the largest of its
kind east of the Mississippi. He writes: ,
Gentlemen:
I suppose that on some rir occasions vciur mail brings
you some pleasant surprise In the form of an acknowledgment
of the uoodness of Star Tires
Not but that your product deserves that kindly recogni
tion from many users, but becauso xve are all mi stingy with
xxorcla of praise
1 outfitted my Cadillac with a set of sit 3fil'-; Star Tires,
In June. 1317. and they apparently will be stilt going Mrong
a. lone time hence for their life la certainly blest with endur
ance. I first bought your tires because your representative,
Mr. Ii. B. Walters, talked me Into them. But now I couldn't
be talked out of them.
