mental development and the training
in manners and good morals are every
day emphasized, as I go about my
work. Aa there are 62 districts in

duties of my office fill my life, but
It is beautiful work, full of variety
and interest, and I rejoice in it."
"Aa to my work during the next
four years," says Misa Fay Clarke
of Malheur, "I hope to complete a few
of the lines of work already begun,
I want to shorten the distance be
tween the Baker county and Nevada
lines. Our people are scattered over
such a great territory that we are
not acquainted with one another. Ac
cordingly, In May or June I hope to
have a county eighth grade com
mencement. Many of my children
will have to travel nearly 200 fnlles,
but I believe they will be glad to do
so. We propose to do more work
along industrial lines. We believe
that we can be of some use to Mal

Business, it is said, finally resolves itself into a matter
of dealing with friends.
From the first, the affairs of this Company have teen
conducted on that principle.
We sought to obtain friendship by deserving it
By building into our product downright worth fertile
ground for confidence and respect, the very seeds of
friendship.
We won friends to Goodyear won them in prodi
gious numbers.
But our purpose continued unchanged, for holding
friends is as important as winning them.
If you will look at a Goodyear tire, a Goodyear tube,
or any of the Goodyear accessories, and learn what
they mean in quality, in value, in service, you will
readily understand why the friends who came to us in
the early days arc with us still.
If you will try a Goodyear tire on your carf you will
understand why these friends were joined by other
friends month after month, year upon year, until the
Goodyear clientele became the largest single group
of tire-buyers in the world.
If you will consider the growth of this business, you
will realize the stupendous power of the good word
spoken man to man, of the enthusiastic comment, of
friendliness.
And you realize, too, wiry we spend upon our prod
uct so much of effort and of money to encourage the
good word, to foster such friendliness
"a matter of 'dealing with friends."
Tire-buying will become that to you after your first
Goodyear purchase.
Whether you buy a Goodyear Fabric tire, a Good
year Cord, a Heavy Tourist tube, or minor items.-
Each harbors the source of your greater satisfaction
and our better relation Goodyear quality.
Goodyear Tires, Heavy Tourist Tubes and "Tire Saver" Accessories
are easy to get from Goodyear Service Station Dealers everywhere.
