A Folded Paper Flower Pot 
SE a tough manila paper that will 
not readily tear or soak through 
when filled with moistened earth. Cut 
into squares from seven to ten inches in 
size according to the seed which is to be 
planted. Double back diagonally as the 
cut shows and crease. Then lay flat upon 
a table and fold the point A over to the 
left to B, creasing the fold i-b down 
sharply. The edges of the paper B-b 
must be parallel with the fold at the bot¬ 
tom, a-A; you will note that in order to 
make them thus, the lower point I of this 
fold does not come in the middle of the 
bottom line but a little to one side of it. 
Fold the dotted triangle over to position B-b-1 
Fold a up to b and crease the line B-2, 
shown in the second cut. Now bring the 
point of the paper marked C down over 
the front of the “pot” as it lies before you 
and crease it; then turn the whole thing 
over and fold the other point, marked c 
down in the same way on the other side. 
This completes it. The top will not be 
perfectly even, naturally, the creased points

rising a little on either side. But this does 
not affect its usefulness. Neither does the 
fact that it will not stand up unless set 
close among a lot of its fellows, or into a 
bed of earth. It is quite as serviceable a 
flower pot for raising seedlings as any that 
can be bought — and obtainable in quantity 
everywhere, for an hour’s 'work some 
evening.

bundle comes home in, of any desired size. 
And the seedlings transplanted to these 
are really ready for the ground without 
further disturbance, for the pot pulls off 
from the earth, which is lowered into the 
Goodyear tires sell all the way from 
$15.55 to $104.95, according to size and 
type. 
The most popular size — 34x4 — costs 
from $32.95 to $37.90, differing with type 
and treads. 
And our average profit on all these tires 
last year was exactly $2.90 per tire. 
This is why we tell you: 
The worth of a tire depends, in large 
part, on what the maker puts into it. 
Tires may be made at half our cost, yet 
the cost per mile is greater. 
Tires may be skimped to increase fac¬ 
tory profit, but the skimping shows up in 
your tire bills. 
The best way to show what you get in 
the Goodyear is to state our profit, 
probably. 
That’s why you get tires built as we 
build them for what the Goodyears cost. 
That’s why, at this price, you get tires 
that can’t rim-cut — tires 10 per cent, over 
the rated size. 
That is why No-Rim-Cut tires, on le¬ 
gions of cars, have cut tire bills right in 
two. 
And that is why Goodyears have come 
to outsell every other tire in existence. 
We are the world’s largest tire builders, 
yet our capital is only $10,000,000. We 
have no bonded debt. 
Our mammoth output and our modern 
methods bring making cost down to the 
minimum. 
What we save in these ways goes into 
tire mileage. And the meters on count¬ 
less cars are showing what this means to 
users. 
That’s the only reason why our last 
year’s sale exceeded the previous 12 years 
put together.
