Increased industrial activity is evi

Beaver 'Portland Cement company at
Gold H1H resumed operations April 1,
and the Corvnllis Lumber company
has also resumed operations at Cot

According to C. M. Secrist.- vice
president and general manager of the

Almost 90 percent of the outstanding
bonds and certificates issued by the
government to finance the war are
now in the hands of the public, ac
cording to a statement given out to
day by the Government Loan organize
ion of the Second Federal Reserve
district. Tho statement shows that on
December 29, 1920, the latest date for
which figures are available, approx
imately $20,431,777,000 or war issues
were being held by individuals and
corporations. The public holds 89 4
percent of the total Issues of $22,861,
341,000 outstanding.
Banking institutions, at the close of
1920, were holding about 10.6 percent
of the outstanding securities as com
pared with bank holdings of about
13.7 percent on June 30, 1919, of tho
then outstanding amount. These fig
ures will be regarded as significant
oy the business and the banking com
munities Inasmuch as they indicate
that during the 18 months' period
from June 30, 1919, to December 29,
1920, a net amount of over $1,000,
000,000 war securities passed from the
banks to .the investing public. To the
extent that banking resources were
thus released fqr other credit purpos
es, commercial activities should hare
benefited. On December 29, 1920, the
war Issues held by banking Institu
tions for their own account was ap
proximately $2,"429,564,000 or about 30
percent less than tho $3,451,184,000
reported June 30, 1919.
This indicates an Increasing ten
dency on the part of the public to In
vest In government securities and
show3 a growing inclination by thoie
investors to take advantage of the fa
vorable yields which can be obtained
from the several treasury issues'. The
Government Loan orgnnlzatlotn calls
attention to the fact that not in 50
years have government securities sold
on a basis so favorable to holders.

The Program of 1921
Is the Pledge of 1900
Most miles per dollar is
the pledge of service on
which the structure of the
Firestone Organization was
reared.
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.
They know that the
pledge of most miles per
dollar is much more than
a slogan it is a guiding
principle which has en
abled the Firestone Organ
ization to grow steadily
and surely; to accumulate
the fund of resources which
is a tower of strength in
time of trouble.
Most miles i per dollar
outlasts temporary business
changes and means more
than a sale of miles it
means friends for the
Firestone representative
it makes him a dealer in
security.
