SUIDE SIGNS ARE REALFUELSAVERS 160,800 Signs Keep Motorists from Gem* Astray—Read 4,080,000 Times a Day How about the lowly road signt Do you ever, ITr. Motorist, in your touring about the country —in your hurrying from town to town, and city to city, and in your jaunta to the seashore and to tho mountains —consider what an im portant part the silent sentinel of tho highway plays in your life! The chances are you accept him as a matter of course. Yet, without tho road sign, which The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. of Akron has erected throughout the country to the r.imber af 160,000, it is a safe estimate that motorists would spend hundreds of thou ■onds more each year in gasoline and •opairs. Left to himself tho motorist would guide his little old car into cul lo-sucs and bewildering lanes, chancing punctures and loss of much gasoline. With the mute Samaritan he keeps on 'he right path, he doesn't lose his tem per and his money. In planning an even more extensive construction of guide posts, the Good rich Company believes that guide posts are consulted at least 4,000,000 timos a day. There are approximately -1,000,000 automobiles in the country today, and the assistance of the road sign to them is, roughly speaking, 2,800,000,000 times a yenr.

Dealings fell below normal and embraced only the lfetter known is sues. The strength ot foreign bonds, including Russians and a moderate demand for shippings, oils and mo tors were almost the sole features on the constructive side at extreme gains of 1 to 2'< a points. Steels and similar equipments were hesitant, yielding fractionally in the later dealings. The closing was irregular. Sales approximated 175,000 shares.
