cated the servants’ bathroom and a laun¬ 
dry, as well as the usual heater and stor¬ 
age rooms. 
The arrangement of the second floor is 
particularly good. The central position is 
given over to the hall and staircase, thus 
permitting three of the bedrooms to have 
cross-ventilation, which is always so de¬ 
sirable in a sleeping-room. The location 
of the bathroom is such that it may be 
readily reached from each bedroom. All 
the woodwork of the second and the third 
floors is finished in ivory-white enamel. 
The walls of the halls are finished with 
the ecru “sand-float’’ plaster, but in the 
bedrooms chambray papers are used as a 
wall covering. 
The owner’s bedroom and dressing- 
room are especially attractive, the wall¬ 
paper being of delicate French gray, with 
touches of old rose introduced in the gar¬ 
landed frieze. Old rose and gray are 
blended also in the rugs and in the chintz 
hangings and furniture coverings. A 
fireplace. Colonial in detail and faced 
with red brick laid with a white joint, is 
a pleasing adjunct of the bedroom and 
adds to its comfort. 
The nursery communicates with the 
owner’s bedroom. A high dado of gray- 
green, with animals in gay colors applied 
to its surface, surrounds the rooms, and 
the upper walls are hung with gray-green 
and ivory striped paper — a good setting 
for the mahogany furniture used in the 
rooms. 
A guest room, in yellow and white, with 
antique mahogany furniture, is also on the 
second floor, the remaining room being 
used for a servants’ bedroom. 
The sleeping-rooms on the third floor 
are so interesting that one is led to won¬ 
der why the top floor of a house is so 
often turned over to servants. A bed¬ 
room is anything but a formal apartment; 
hence the irregularity of ceiling line in a 
top floor bedroom is, instead of an incon¬ 
gruity, rather an additional attraction. 
One of the bedrooms—unmistakably a 
girl’s own domain—is done in delicate 
green. The furniture is of bird’s-eye 
maple, and chintz, combining faint rose, 
yellow and green on a cream ground, is 
extensively used with very decorative re¬ 
sults. The second room is no less attract¬ 
ive with its wedgewood blue and ivory 
color scheme. The third floor possesses 
such a wealth of closets and storage space 
that the soul of any careful housekeeper 
would be gladdened as soon as she ap¬ 
preciated how well these features have 
been taken care of. 
There is a beauty, based on utility, fit¬ 
ness and simplicity, which is altogether 
independent of financial lavishness; and 
that beauty is notably exemplified in the 
Browder house. Every detail is quiet 
and restrained, and each room is perfectly 
adapted to its special requirements. In 
short, the house as a whole verily breathes 
the tranquil spirit of hominess — and what 
tribute could be greater to the possibilities 
of remodeling, and the refined taste of the 
owner? 
No-Rim - Cut Tires 
10% Oversize 
11 % Less This Year 
No-Rim-Cut tires—now the favorite tires—cost 11 per 
cent. less this year. 
That’s a new saving. They have always saved rim¬ 
cutting, saved overloading. Now their very popularity is 
saving you an extra 11 per cent. 
How It Happens 
We have lower rubber this year, but 
higher fabric and higher cost of labor. 
Some makers say the net saving here 
warrants no reduction. Some say five 
per cent. 
But we, in addition, have a multi¬ 
plied output. A factory capacity now 
pretty close to 8,000 motor tires daily. 
We have new factories with the latest 
equipment. 
So No-Rim-Cut tires will cost, we 
figure, 11 per cent, less than last year. 
And since April 1st we have given that 
saving to the users of these tires. 
Our Profit 
Our policy is to keep our profit 
around 8J 4 per cent. So long as we do 
that no maker in 
the world can sell 
an equal tire for 
less. 
To assure you 
of this, every year 
we advertise our 
profits. We want 
you to know that 
in Goodyear tires 
you get the squarest sort of deal. 
No Extra Price 
In No-Rim-Cut tires you are getting 
tires which never can be rim-cut. That 
wipe out completely a trouble which 
ruins 23 per cent, of old-type tires. 
You are getting tires 10 per cent, 
larger than clincher tires of the same 
rated size. And that adds, on the aver¬ 
age, 25 per cent, to the mileage. 
And you are getting now 11 per cent, 
reduction. So these new-type tires, with 
all their advantages, cost no more than 
standard old-type tires. 
Consider those savings and judge for 
yourself if it pays to insist on these 
tires. 
Hundreds of thousands think so. 
And they have bought, in the past 12 
months, over a 
million Goodyear 
tires.
