Hood On Universal Peace.
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."
Smoker’s Little Joke.
“Young Waggles,” remarked Flip
son, as he made himself comfortable
in a deep club armchair, “has had
the laugh turned on himself in his
little joke against the Flames Fire
Insurance Company.”
“What do you mean?” asked Flop
son.
“Well, continued his friend, “the
insured 500 cigars, smoked them, and
then sent in a claim on the ground
that they had been destroyed by fire.”
“And, of course, he ‘ got laughed
at?”
“Not a bit of it. The company has
had him arrested on a charge of
arson.”—Pearson’s Weekly.

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.
