8 Better Features

Marly Fall Market Best
for Pigs, Says Ilulletin
Pierre, S. D., July 2.'. The farmer
who keeps his spring pigs growing
rapidly and s'ts them ready for the
early fall market will fare better than
his neighbor this year, advised the
sUte department of agriculture in its
bulletin issued today.
The reason for this is sak! to lie
in the fact that the number of pig&
saved in South Dakota this spring
was IJ0.6 per cent of the number
saved in the spring- of 1921.

When checked up, it was proven
that this set was the grandfather of
them all, having been purchased by
I'adillac early in its struggle toward
absolute accuracy, before the rft of
the industrial world lecognled i

Despite its age, this little set of
steel blinks is still in daily use, being
kept as a check on jigs and fixtures.
The little squares with their exact
surfaces still retain the mysterious
power of sticking together. Their
sides are so perfectly parallel that
the molecules in one piece of steel
are said to attract the molecules in
the other piece.
These wonderful blocks are guard
ed with great care, fur they are
worth their weight in gold. Several
sets are in the possession of the
Cadillac company, the last set having
been purchased about two years ago.

It gives the motorist the buying advantage of knowing that
whatever size tire he selects is of the same quality the
Goodrich onequality standard.
It gives him the longest mileage, the most satisfactory service
and the highest quality his money can buy. Results will prove
that it is impossible to buy tire mileage at lower cost.
