"No 'longer doe the majority of the

So'.treet were planted In planta

of the plantation men were laughed at.
Brazil continued to depend on Its wild
supply,. But now the. whole complex

Plant4,tlpns are producing more than' the
wfl'd supply, and the proportions for each

'JA, targe part of the world's rubber

from Sumatra Ceylon, etc. A leading
Goodyear estlmatod that for 1914 the
worlds, rubber production would bet

Extra Features
In No-Rim-Cut tires you get four features
found in no other tire. You get them with
out any extra price.
Tho No-Rim-Cut feature ends rim-cuttine
completely. That's the greatest cause of
tire ruin.
Our "On-Air" cure saves the countless
blow-outs due to wrinkled fabric. That extra
cure cost3 us $450,000 per year.
Lcoso treads ore combated, by n paten t meth
od which reduces thjs danger by 60 per cent.
All-Weather (reads the premier anti
skids. Tough, double-thick and enduring. As
smooth as a plain tread, yet with deep, sharp,
resistless grips.
Every extra-price tire on the market, re
member, lacks all of these costly features.
Goodyear tires outsell any other.
Today they are gaining new
users faster than ever before
in our history. Sheer merit
has made them the most

"They Say!"
A few comments on the New Regal
by recent visitors to our show-room
"You've certainly got the looks in that car it
proves that beauty needn't be a matter of price" (a
well-known attorney.)
"Say, three of us can really sit in the rear seat,
can't we?" (a dry-goods merohant.)
"Gee, this is the car for a long-legged chap like me
to drive" (a contractor.)
"Wliat is it that malces the car run over bumps
with so little jouncing?" (the wife of a merohant.)
"That's some engine" (an out-of-town visitor.)
What's your pet desire in la car?
Come in, and you'll find it carried out in the Regal.

A Greater Paige for 1915
A better car not a cheaper car is offered in the Paige
"36" for 1915.
Just now prices are being slashed right and left in the
automobile field and there is red hot competition among
many manufacturers to bring their selling price down to the
very lowest point
The "Ten Associates," however, are not content to sacri
fice quality in order to present to the public alluring "bargain"
inducements. They prefer to offer more car value for the
money rattier than a skimped product at a decreased price.
Investigate the new Paige note the many added refine
mentsand then ask yourself whether you prefer to buy more
car for the money or less quality for a "price."
