HUMOROUS 
Bobby— “0-oh Mamma ! Here’s a lit¬ 
tle green snake !” Mamma—“Keep away 
from it, dear. It may be just as 
dangerous as a ripe one.”—Life. 
“Ah !” said the friend. “You expect 
to drain this swamp and sell the land 
to the public?” “No,” confessed the 
promoter. “I expect to sell the swamp 
as it now is, and drain the public.”— 
Puck. 
“You don’t know the difference be¬ 
tween an apiary and an aviary.” “In¬ 
deed I do, then!” “What is it?” “An 
apiary is where they keep apes and an 
aviary is where they keep airships.”— 
Baltimore American. 
“What has become of the campaign 
hen?” “The campaign hen?” “The one 
that used to lay the eggs bearing the 
initials of the favorite candidates.” “Oh, 
I suppose she has joined the suffragette 
movement.”—Washington Herald. 
Regular Customer.— “I shall want a 
large quantity of flowers from you next 
week for my daughter’s coming out.” 
Flower Woman.—“Yes, mum. You 
shall ’ave the very best for ’er, pore 
dear. Wot were she put in for?”— 
Punch. 
The amateur hunter fired, and some¬ 
thing limped off through the bushes. 
The guide investigated. “Was that a 
rare species I hit?” “Not so rare.” 
“What was it?” “A fellow named 
Smith. They’re rather plentiful in this 
vicinity.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. 
“When I was shipwrecked in South 
America,” said Capt. Bowsprit, “I came 
across a tribe of wild women who had 
no tongues.” “Mercy!” cried one of 
his listeners of the fair sex. “How 
could they talk?” “They couldn’t!” 
snapped the old salt. “That’s what 
made ’em wild.”—Judge. 
“People nowadays,” said the old 
house cat, “don’t know how to raise 
children. They let the youngsters have 
their own way too much.” “That’s 
right,” replied the old brood hen. “Look 
at these chicks of mine. They wouldn’t 
have amounted to a thing if they hadn’t 
been sat upon.”—Credit Lost. 
Olaf Larson, working in a ware¬ 
house, backed into an elevator shaft 
and fell down five stories with a load 
of boxes. Horror-stricken, the other 
employes rushed down the stairs, only 
to find him picking himself unharmed 
out of the rubbish. “Ess de boss mad?” 
he whispered, cautiously. “Tal ’em Ay 
had to come down for nails anyway.”—

No-Rim-Cut 
Tires 
10% Oversize 
Save 23 per cent by avoidance 
of rim-cutting. 
Save 25 per cent through their 
extra capacity. 
Proved 1,100,000 Times 
Remember this when you read these 
claims about Goodyear. No-Rim-Cut 
tires. 
More than 1,100,000 Goodyear tires 
have now gone into use. They have 
been tested out on some 200,000 cars. 
The fact that these tires prevent rim¬ 
cutting and avoid overloading, has been 
proved 1,100,000 times. 
The fact that these tires cut tire bills 
in two is known to 200,000 users. 
As a result, No-Rim-Cut tires outsell 
any other tires that were ever built. 
Rim-Cutting 
Costs 23 Per Cent 
Careful statistics show that 23 per 
cent of all ruined clincher tires have 
been rim-cut. 
Clincher tires are the hooked-base 
tires which No-Rim-Cut tires are 
displacing. 
Such tires may be wrecked in a 
moment if punctured and run flat. 
They are often rim-cut when but 
partly deflated. 
No-Rim-Cut tires make rim-cut¬ 
ting impossible. Thus they save on 
the average this 23 per cent. 
j Overloading 
Costs 25 Per Cent 
/ Then these patent tires—No-Rim- 
Cut tires—are made 
10 per cent over the 
rated size. 
That means 10 per 
cent more air—10 per 
cent added carrying 
capacity. And that, 
with the average car, 
adds 25 per cent to 
the tire mileage. 
So these two fea¬ 
tures together—No- 
Rim-Cut and oversize 
—under average conditions cut tire 
bills in two. 
Took 10 Years 
to Perfect Them 
We spent ten years in perfecting 
these tires before the world knew 
much about them. 
We built in our factory a tire-test¬ 
ing machine, where four tires at a 
time are constantly worn out under 
every road condition. 
There we compared over 200 fab¬ 
rics, and 40 formulas for treads. 
There we compared—on a mileage 
basis—every method and process. 
In those ten years we brought 
these tires pretty close to perfection. 
Then we invented a way to make 
tires that can’t rim-cut. Then we 
made these tires 10 per cent oversize 
to save the blow-outs due to over¬ 
loading. 
Then Men Awoke 
Then motor car owners began to 
find out what these tires meant to 
them. Then they told one another. 
In the past two years the demand 
for these tires has increased by 500 
per cent. It has trebled in the past 
12 months. 
Now 1,100,000 have gone into use. 
And the demand for these tires is 
larger by far than for any other tire. 
You are bound to use them when 
you find them out, 
but your tire expense 
is doubled while you 
wait.
