"1 The Secret oa Superlative Tire The whole question of a super-tire is a matter of principles. For there is nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents, no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker from build ing the best. - ' But cost and 'competition modify ideals. The Brunswick idea is to pay perfection's price and get it. That has been the Brunswick policy since 1845. 'And it a counts for the growing preference for Brunswick Tires Motorists expect the utmost from a tire bearing the namej of Brunswick -and get it. You, too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy a better. Better tires of their type are impossible a or, better, tubes.

As this Company has pointed out on several oee .sions. the condition fa, due to insufT. .dent production of crude oil and a greatly increased consumption of ga.'olmu by Industry and by owners of pleasure cars. Gasoline isTvital factor in the life of the community, industrially and oth erwise, and it is of the greatest importance, at this juncture, that it be used with the utmost discretion, that essenial requirements may be supplied. The present is by no means the reason of maximum demand, which comes la ter in the year. The condition, therefore, is likely to he continuing, rather than transitory. Responsibility for meeting the situation does not rest solely upon the oil in dustry. The public also has a serious duty in the matter. On its part, the Standard Oil Company is strainimr its resources and organ ization to increase the supply of gasoline. In the field it is working for the maximum production of crude oil. In the refinery it is working for the maxi mum production of gasoline from the crude oil and it is spending large sums of money on equipment for new processes, of its own discovery and develop ment, whereby a still greater yield of gasoline will be obtained. The point already has been reached where gasoline must he conserved most carefully. That is a duty of the public In consumption of this product, essen til industries must necessarily come first pleasure utilization thereafter. Already the Company has taken steps toward protecting the suppl.t for the vital needs of industry which, if leaned, would affect the business life of the community. There is now the danger of a curtailment of supply to non-essentials such as pleasure cars. The assistance of the public, therefore, is imperative. Until lately, gasoline has been abundant, and its lavish and extravagant use has been possible That time is past. Buy as little gasoline as possible. Use what you must Waste none.
