Lets Have a SHOWDOWN
on this matter of
TIRE COMPARISONS
ITH all the conflicting claims
published about tires, it is obvious
that misleading statements are being
made. The only conclusion that you
as a tire buyer can draw is that either
we, as Firestone Dealers, are misrep
resenting Firestone products, or that
a certain mail order house is not tell
ing the truth about theirs. Both can't
be right -one or the other is mislead
ing the public by their comparisons.
Firestone, in their advertising,
only make comparisons that can be
easily verified by the customer before
buying tires. To attempt to substan
tiate the comparisons made by this
mail order house, it would be neces
sary to go into a laboratory and em
ploy experts.
The very reason that the compari
sons made in Firestone advertising en
able you to get the facts yourself,
makes it unnecessary for Mr. Firestone
to make affidavit on the truth of his
statements or to file any complaint
with the Federal Trade Commission,
and then advertise it, in an attempt to
lead the public to believe his state
ments were true.
Mr. Firestone doesn't ask you to
accept comparisons about Firestone
Tires and special brand mail order
tires until you see the facts yourself.
IS either do we. All we ask is that you
make your own comparison.
We have cross sections cut from
special brand mail order tires pur
chased from stocks of mail order
house and from Firestone Tires no
"tricky" or misleading comparisons
come in today and make your oivn
com parisons for Quality, Construction,
and Prices. YOU and YOU ALONE be
the judge!

Chicago Unable
to Pay Its Bills;
Facing a Crisis
City iii Midst of Financial Straits
That Official Calls Desperate;
Banks Loan to Limit.
Chicago More than half Of the
property in Chicago faces possible
sale for taxes, and bankers and leg
islators sought means to save the
city from a financial crisis. Altho
taxpaying was thrown more than a
year behind thru a new system of as
sessment, the final day tor the pay
ment of ?27G,000.000 for taxes
found $176,000,000 unpaid. On this
delinquent charge, property owners
must pay 1 per cent a month until ac
counts are balanced, and at the end
of three months, if still delinquent,
the realty will be listed for tax sale.
BankeiR have purchased already
f300.000.000 worth of tax warrants
to help the municipality piy current
wage bills. But. with non-payment
of fresh levies and advice from cer
tain organizations to property own
ers not to pay on the ground that the
recent assessment was illegal, warn
ing was issued by Melvin A. Traylor,
president of the First National bank,
that more vouchers cannot be mar
keted, even at the high rate of 6
per cent. Appeals have been made
to the state assembly to change the
laws so that a better system of levj--mg
taxes might be enacted.
Calls Crisis Desperate.
Attorney General Carlstrom -a.c. .
"The city of Chicago and the county
of Cook, with its minor taxing sub
divisions, are facing a crisis of such
desperate character with respect to
public finances and taxes, that some
action must be conceived and execut
ed without delay to avoid a com
plete disaster."
The midwestern metropolis and its
multiple taxing bodies have leaped
from crisis to crisis since the state
tax commission, discovering "glar
ing inequalities" in the 1927 assess
ments, ordered a reprisal. Tax col
lections fell two years behind, plung
ing city, county and state alike into
financial straits, rendering payday
for school teachers and other muni
cipal employes uncertain from month
to month and deferring payment of
mature bond issues.
Attorney Genera! Carlstrom came
forward with a suggestion tor em
ergency relief.
"The city's present unexhausted
bonding power," he explained, "is
approximately $30,000,000. Taking
the full value of the assessed value
would increase that bonding power
nearly $375,000,000, maJung possible
the amortization of practically the
whole of the 19J50 assessment by re
tiring the anticipation warrants,
paying the state tax and distributing
that assessment over a period of
twenty years."
The Chicago real esiijtc board im
mediately endorsed Calstrom's sug
gestion. The board supported emer
gency legislation at Springfield which
would extend the delinquency date
on 1929 tax payments to July 1 and
allow quarterly payments on the in
stallment plan. State Tournal.
BURIAL OF DAVID BELASC0
New York David Belasco, ack
nowledged master of th? Mage, was
buried Sunday. Funeral services
were conducted from the central
synagog with Mayor Jamet; J. Walker
and outstanding figures of the thea
trical world in attendance. More
than 2,000 persons crowded into the
synagog while hundreds of others,
unable to get in. lined the street for
a elimpse of the casket blanketed
with violets.
Edwin Milton Royle. playwright
and friend of Belasco. read a eulogy.
Rabbi Jonah Wise of the Central syn
agop conducted the services. Royle
classified Belasco as one of three great
men in distinctly different fields to
die recently. The other two, he said,
were George F. Baker, financier, and
Pj-of. Albert A. Michelson, scientists.
Dr. Wise paid a high iribute to
the genius of the late producer, who
was a member of his parish. He said:
"Life was an ally of David Belasco.
His days were full. His hands reap
ed what his brain owed He was an
important part of the throbbing life
Of New York."
The honorary pallbearers were
Mayor Walker, Duniel Frohman. Lee
Shubert, George M. Cohan, Edward
Childs Carpenter, A. O. Brown, Frank
Gillmore, Edward Coblenz. former
former supreme court Justice Mit
chell Erlanger and Henry Bernstein,
French dramatist.
