SIZ-BY-FOBIY TIBES. 



The Fisk Tire Co. is said to have the distinction of making 

 the largest pneumatic truck tires manufactured. They make a 

 tire 6 x 40. used exclusively for fire apparatus, protective wagons 

 and similar vehicles, where tires of great durability and strength 

 are necessar>'. 



"THE PEICKING OF THE BUBBLE." 



Mr. Frank A. Seiberling, president of the Goodyear Tire & 

 Rubber Co., gave some verj' interesting testimony before the 

 Senate Committee appointed to investigate the Akron strike. 

 But nothing that he said impressed his hearers more than this 

 reference to the effect of the strike upon the market prices 

 of the stock of some of the tire companies. He observed: "Per- 

 haps one feature of value has come out of it all ; namely, the 

 pricking of the bubble of fictitious values on the stocks of the 

 various corporations. Speculators had carried the value of 

 Goodyear common stock to a basis of $465 per share ten days 

 ago; it is now around $350; while its intrinsic value is approxi- 

 mately $125. Let this good work go on, and we will not have 

 as much false reasoning when this fictitious basis of values has 

 been properly exploded."
