No-Rim- Cut Tires 
10% Oversize 
We’re Building This Year 
for 500,000 Cars 
At this writing the output on Goodyear 
automobile tires exceeds 6,000 daily. 
As fast as possible we are bringing the 
output up to 8,000 tires a day. 
For the evidence is that this year’s de¬ 
mand will call for 2,000,000 tires. 
Half the New Cars 
Our contracts with makers insure, at 
the minimum, that nearly half of this 
year’s new cars will go out with Good¬ 
year tires. 
Forty-three per cent, of all show cars 
had them at the New York Show. 
And the present demand for these fa¬ 
vorite tires is seven times larger than two 
years ago. 
What Did It? 
Ask yourself what brought these tires 
to the topmost place in Tiredom. Remem¬ 
ber that men are not buying tires blindly. 
These are days of odometers. Men are 
comparing tires. 
These hundreds of thousands who have 
come to the Goodyear must have a reason 
for it. And that reason, you must own, is 
based on mileage records. 
Men. in these days, insist that tires shall 
not rim-cut. And that means Goodyear 
No-Rim-Cut tires. 
They know that oversize means extra 
mileage. And No-Rim-Cut tires are 10 
per cent, oversize. 
Please Find Out 
For your own sake, find out this year 
why Goodyear tires far outsell all others. 
Other motorists have tested out almost 
2,000,000 Goodyears. Their verdict is 
shown by our present sales records. 
This verdict, agreed with by hundreds 
of thousands, is sure to be your verdict 
also. And the average saving to those 
who know it is almost half one’s tire bills.

here, covered with upturned barrels, when 
needful, for blanching. Here also I make 
experiments with blanching dandelion for 
our first spring salads. 
As to the commoner kinds of vegeta¬ 
bles—carrots, turnips, onions, and the like 
-—we manage them somewhat after this 
fashion. Early carrots are sown in the 
hotbed in the last week of February, and 
after thinning out we have them ready for 
the table by the beginning of June. The 
usual spring sowings are also made out of 
doors later. In August we sow the Scar¬ 
let Horn in a warm border, thin out in 
September, and have them left in the 
ground all winter, so that when pulled 
they are crisp and fresh. Turnips fare 
much the same, but as we value the tops 
almost as much as the “roots” we sow 
them more liberally. One crop of pars¬ 
nips is raised in the summer and stored in 
the ground for the winter. 
A few beets of the Globe variety we 
grow in a frame for those special dishes 
which Charlotte prepares so daintily, but 
the row of beets for salad purposes and 
winter use make their growth in the usual 
way. We are experimenting with a vari¬ 
ety called the Seakale Beet, and have suc¬ 
ceeded in rearing some fine plants; these 
make a delicious dish when cooked after 
the manner of ordinary seakale. The up¬ 
right fleshy stems are stripped of their 
leaves, and the stalks have a very pleasant 
mild flavor. 
Chicory is sown in the open ground in 
May, and the roots lifted and taken into 
the mushroom house in November. The 
roots themselves are never eaten, but they 
quickly make a top-growth, and if this is 
produced too fast it is checked by taking 
them to a cool cellar. 
The cauliflowers, which we sow out of 
doors in August, are protected with lights, 
so as to have them ready for cutting at the 
beginning of November. Those which are 
frame-sown in spring, and planted out in 
the open in May, give us a supply for the 
summer. Of onions we grow only small 
varieties, sowing a fresh pinch of seed 
very frequently, as Charlotte, wise woman, 
eschews the use of large onions in her 
cookery, and in winter she will have only 
shallots. To please her we also grow a 
little garlic, but I have to watch warily 
lest the susceptible nose of the Better Half 
be ever offended by an over-dose of the 
pungent aroma. It is but rarely that she 
proves indiscreet. We, on the other hand, 
are very partial to the delicate flavor of 
chives, and constantly desire her to use 
the herb ; also we praise her warmly when¬ 
ever leeks are introduced, and, indeed, we 
think there are few things nicer than a 
dish of fine white leeks with a creamy 
sauce. Charlemagne is an expert in the 
production of good leeks ; he loves nothing- 
better than to sit on an old stool snipping 
and cutting young leeks for planting out. 
and takes great unction to himself when 
he has set out a row, regimentally precise, 
in a trench. 
Another delight of his is to bring me a 
perfectly-shaped lettuce, Romaine or Cos,
