W. F. Barnett was up from Lex
ington Monday, endeavoring to hire a
man or two to go to work on bis sum
merfallw. The recent rains have
brought the weeds along at a lively
rate and they must be killed before
fall seeding is done. It is the opin
ion of Mr. Barnett that conditions for
fall seeding were never better at this
CHEVROLET
time of the year than they appear to
be in his section at present. He has
his threshing all done and the wheat
under cover, but many farmers of the
Lexington section are still running
their threshers and it will be some
weeks yet before all have finished.

THERE isn't any "country"
any more. The autqmo
bUe has brought the most
remote settlement almost as
close to the center of things
as the next county was in
the old days.
To hear some tire dealers
talk you might think that
nobody knew anything about
tires except the fellow from
Broadway.
That's not the basis we
go on.
We give every man credit
for knowing what he is
spending his money on,
whether he drives up here'
in his small car from ten
miles out in the country or
is passing through from the
capital in his limousine.
i
That's one thing we like
about U. 6. Tires.
They make no distinction
between the small car
owner and the owner of the
biggest car in the country.
It's all 'the same to them.
So long as a man owns an
automobile large or small
he's entitled to the very
best tire they can give him.
Quality has always been
the outstanding feature of
U. S. Tires. There's no
limit on the U. S. guarantee.
All U. S. Tires are guaranteed
for the life of the tire.

We have given a lot of
thought to this tire proposi

rubber concern in the world.

let us tell you some interest
ing facts about tires.
