Tires that blow-out frequently, wear the tread down rapidly and go into discard after a few thousand miles are ex pensive, no matter what price you pay. FIrestones give you "Most Miles per Dollar" and therefore are the moct economical tires that you can buy. Gum-Dipping and other special manufacturing processes provide Firestones with thousands of extra miles of ser vice performance without parallel. Now's the time to equip with Firestones, right at the beginning of the new motoring season. The actual savings in dollars at the end of the year will more than surprise you. Our service is another factor to consider. Come In. SPECIALS On Ail Fircslsno Tire: Phone No. 86 the care of valve equipment. Th valve is a very small part of the tire but nothing is more valuable to efficient operation. The best tires made will give a poor account of it self if the valve leaks. There are three -rules to follow In looking after valve equipment: ( 1 ) Be sure the valve-inside, or the in- nerdoor, does not leak; (2) always apply valve cap as in case of leak from valve-inside this will form the second door for holding air; (3) use rim unt bushing tightly screw ed against the felloe, vrnich prevent3 creeping of tube. Above all, motorists should be brought to recognize the necessity of maintaining the right air pres sure m tneir nres ana tnis can oe more easily accomplished if the valve equipment is in good order." OIL MILLIONAIRES" NOT OIL INDUSTRY Because of the huge element of chance, unfortunate notions are con stantly betting abroad which bring no good repute to the oil business. One often reads of "oil millionaires" doing recklessly extravagent things, but whtn the facts develop, the "oil millionaire" is apt to turn out to be a landowner who has never had the remotest association with old, until he leased drilling rights on his land. The drill had brought in a gusher, and realities had mada him rich almost in a day. But when he started on a spectacular project of putting into circulation the wealth that the industry was bringing him, the public got just the impression calculated to do the business the most harm. It is true that great fortunes have been made in oil. as in other in dustries. But chiefly, they have gone back into the business to help it keep step wit hthe growing demands They have not even been sufficient for that, and new capital by hun dreds of millions must be raised from the investing public annually.
