almost as young as he did then.
and he has met with snccess every
day since. In his wholesale and
jobbing operations he supplies
the trade n a radius of 25 to 30
miles.
The advantageous position of
Salem as a jobbing point was so
well made known by Mr. Waters
to the manufacturers and import
ers of tbe goods which he hand
les that he was enabled long since
to deal with them directly and to
place himself upon an equal foot
ing with the- biggest wholesalers
on the coast. That is the great
necessity to - secure terminal
buying advantages. Salem has the
field of consumption for all lines
and has a most favorable means
of distribution so that the man
or company that can purchase on
an equal basis with the big con
cenufMs sure of success in this
location. Mr. Waters has ' that
advantage.
The volume of trade enjoyed
by Mr. Waters in cigars, tobaccos
and smoker's sundries, and in
candy, guoi and other .specialties.
Is large, and his warehouse would
surprise tbe average person in the
amount of merchandise carried.
He is located at 229 State street.
where he has a commodious show

activities of Salem
And there has been a healthy growth to record at the
close of each recurring twelve month period. The past year
has been no' exception. .
There are many lines open. There is room for more and
greater activities in these fields here. Concerns that assem
ble the products of the industries on the land and those in
our towns and cities, and find near and distant markets for
them, and bring the needed supplies to our consuming pub
lic, perform useful services and aid in establishing here the
foundations of a well balanced growth.
They are therefore worthy of encouragement, and lines
not now represented will find a welcome here.

(AP) Henry Ford in the July is-'

says that he should prefer It he

his employes between 35 and 0
years of age.
'For then," the automobile
manufacturer adds, "we should
have a stable and experienced
force. We would not care how
much over sixty the men were so
long as they could do their -work."
"Under no circumstances would
we Lave a working force made up
of only young men," Ford says.
"It Is absolutely necessary, in or
der to get the work through, to
have a solid framework oft older
and more experienced men who
know exactly what they are doing.
"It is not to be expected that a
nan tf -seventy will have astatch
endurance as one of 25. It is not
at all necessary that he should
have, for by the time a man has
reaehd 70, he ought to have some
thing a great deal more valuable
than physical strength.
"The records of the employment
department show that work that
calls for endurance is best served
as a rule, by men who are forty
and over. Younger men seem to
tire of jobs of this kind rather
quickly and want to be transferred
to lighter work."
"Having lived a number of
years." Mr. Ford says, "is a great
advantage to anyone if those
years hare brought a background
of experience. It Is usual to as

Tire-buying is hardly to be
counted amonj the "pleas
ures of owning an automo
bile. It means the paying out of
money which also may be
needed for something else.
That is why most car owners
now thjnk twice before they
accept a tire. They desire
that their purchases of tires
be few and far between.
Advertising, friendship, high
powered words these things
don't influence tire-buyers as
formerly. Tires are mostly
bought today on a straight
business basis. On the basis
of proved facts, proved per
formance, proved superiority
not on talk or claims.
Millions more people than ever
before now trust to experi
ence the greatest teacher of
all fa choosing tires.
That is why millions more
people buy Goodyear Tires
than any other- kind. Why, in
BOO&ITT&E
means
GOODYEAR
in Salem!
a recent nation-wide popular
ity check, car-owners favored
Goodyears 2 to 1 over the next
make and from 3 to 1 up to
30 to 1 over other makes.
Experience has finally and
conclusively proved that Good
years are the best tires in the
world.
Goodyear sales; as a result,
have leaped to many millions
more than any other company.
Through this enormous and
ever-increasing quantity pro
duction, costs have been
steadily lowered, permitting
Goodyear to give a quality so
mcch greater for the same
money that Goodyear Tires
are by far The World's
Greatest Values."
Trust to Experience when yon

on one thing: youTl have the
