It was restfully vacant; from Its plain walls, scant furnishings, to tho cheerful little wife and pleasant home atmosphere, I felt at lost I had found pence. I rested well that night. With the interest of a stranger in town, I went out next day, proud to take my first trip hlonc. I felt duly, or unduly, elated. Returning, I ran con fidently up the steps where snt Hilly, the cat; I opened the ball door to be greeted by Major, ,tho dog.

Then she went Into spasms of la'ughter. Yes, Alfred's w!M Is a cheerful soul, but I never before realized what a useless thing her Inugh could be.

Heck; President 911-13 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Bell Phone Poplar 4056-4057 How the Price of $13.95 on SOxSV-inch Firestone Tires Was Made Possible 8 It is in this period of much needed economy that the full benefit of Firestone's develop ment can best be recognized. The advantage of having two great individual plants has per mitted specialization in the highest degree. Plant No. 1 is devoted to the production of Firestone cords tires that are accepted as the highest devel opment of tire building. Tire repair men who judge values best, class it as the sturdiest carcass made. Forty-seven car manufacturers have adopted Firestone cords as regular equipment during 1921. Plant No. 2 was erected for the sole purpose of making 30x3H Non-Skid fabric tires. With a daily capacity of 16,000 1 4HhiKBJnwp Ft tires and 20,000 tubes, this plant permits refined produc tion on a quantity basis. Its output was 13,700 tires per day during April. It is such basic economies that enable Firestone to make a price of $13.95 on this standard 30x33 tire the low est price ever made on a standard tire. Firestone dealers help mr.ke this $13.95 price possible by accepting a smaller profit per sale on this fast selling tire. We see today the fulfilling of what Firestone men have worked for public support in soundly ratifying the Firestone standard of "Most Miles per Dollar."
