In the good old days they were strong for universal peace, and Great Britian was a leader in the move ment, just as now. It would seem that they went about securing univer sal peace in those days just as they do now, which led Thomas Hood, a poet of that time, to write the fol lowing, along about 1827: Epigram. On the Chinese Treaty Our wars are ended—foreign battles cease— Great Britian Owns an universal peace: And Queen Victoria triumphs over all, Still “Mistress of herself though China fall."

The company has had him arrested on a charge of arson.”—Pearson’s Weekly. ■>■ ■ i . ..i ■ — "f ">m .. ■■■■ * ■ ii— n n i *• * '■ ■ ■■ * Prompt Payment On Policy. _ O’Neill, Nebraska, August 16, 1919.

The Most Welcome Tire That Ever Came to Market Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick In every great tire factory, the chief question is: “How much can we give for the money?” And the product depends on the policy adopted. Every man who has become ac quainted with Brunswick Tires knows that Brunswick standards are again evident. This famous con cern— noted as a leader in every line it entered since 1845—has once more proved that its policy is right. A perfect tire is simply a matter of knowledge and standards and skill. No secrets nor patents pre vent making an ideal tire. But standards come first. For in tire making there is vast room for skimping, for subtle economies, for hidden shortcomings. Makers with out the highest standards don’t build high-grade tires. The Brunswick organization of tire makers includes a brilliant staff of technical experts. Not a man among them has spent less than 20 years in handling rubber. Each is a master of his craft. And the new ideas they bring to the attention of Brunswick direc tors receive sincere consideration. Every proved betterment is adopted unanimously. The Brunswick Tire is a combi nation of acknowledged features— plus Brunswick standards of manu facture. The result is a super-tire, the like of which you have never known be fore. The kind of a tire you will gladly join in welcoming. Yet Brunswicks cost rib more than like-type tires. Try ONE Brunswick. We prom ise a surprise. And we feel certain that you will want ALL Bruns wicks. Then good tires will have a new meaning to you.
