from all over this State. He holds
a trying position and has every sort
of trivial matter brought before him.
It is no wonder that he gets vexed.
I dare say most of you would. Then
I think sometimes that we need a
boss there. One who is not afraid
to stand by his convictions. What
would he be and the school system be
if he allowed everybody to lead him
around by the nose? Can you find
anything wrong with his public, private.
and moral life? You ought to
look into these things before you cast
your ballot next Tuesday and be sure
that they measure up to the standard
that you would set for your boys and
girls. A vote for Swearingen means
better schools. If you cast your bal

5 TN the past two months Firestone
6 X has built and marketed more tires
B than in any similar period in its history.
a This steadily increasing public pref3
erence is proof of the recognition by
H car owners of the greater values offered
by Firestone. It is a tribute to
9 Firestone men?all stockholders in the
|g company?all actuated by the operat
. ing principle of Most Miles per Dollar.
w 1 ne nign average pcriormance 01
Firestone Cords is without equal in the

There are many reasons for the high
quality of Firestone tires but chief
among the special manufacturing processes
are double gum-dipping, thus * , X J
> eliminating internal friction by insulating
each cord strand, and air-bag cure, j? \
insuring a well-balanced and perfectly ?
shaped product. I J W3
Don't speculate in tires?you will ,Y;

Cords are giving other car-owners g
