It is beyond any fluctu ating policy and is bigger than any program. This explains the rally of new dealers everywhere to the Firestone standard. They vhb have weathered the recent difficult period are determined to play safe in Vthe future. They are wide awake to the value in Firestone stability. They want the Firestone strength behind them.
