Twenty years of road and track victories with a steady and increas ing demand for tires as he built them convinced Barney Oldfield that these speed tests pointed the way to a better tire for everyday use. The enthusiastic reception of Old field Cords by the public proved he was right. Scores of the most prominent dealers in the country and many thousands of car owners, experienced in the use of tires bear witness by their decided preferenc mat Uianeia is doing a bigger an Detier-joD oi tire making. This volume, handled in an effec tive way in every phase of manufa ture and distribution, has resulted in price quotations far below what you'd expect on tires known to be better built and more enduring. Practically every important race event for three years has been won on Oldfields. The Wichita Test Run in which an entire set of Oldfield Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough roads proves the mettle of the Most Trustworthy Tires Built in every day driving. The Master Driver and Tire Builder has given the public a new standard of tire wear and tire cost a true economy that every car owner should know about.

Dealers in REAL ESTATE Fruit and Farm Lands TOURIST INFLUENCE ON FUTURE BUSINESS "There have been more visitors to the Pacific Northwest this summer, both by rail and by automobile and by steamsihp than in any previous year, said Herbert Cuthbert, executive sec retary Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso ciation. "Just how many people have been hero I do not know yet, but I do know, from all the reports that have come to me from various sections of Oregon. Washington and British Co lumbja. that these people have been of a belter class man in past years. There has been a greater tendency on the part of automolbie tourists to pat ronize hotels and restaurants, and they have spent their money more freely. "In some of the cities I have visited the business men have frankly stated that they did not know how they would have tided over the summer months had it not been'for this tourist travel. And it is only natural to assume that the benefits have been just as great to the larger cities, although, of course, naturally they have been less notice able. It is a little early yet to esti mate how much money has been spent in the aggregate rjy visitors, yet, 1 think it is safe to say that it is be tween 45 and 50 million dollars." Jn response to the query as to what other benefits the Pacific Noithwest received from these visitors, other than cash revenue, Mr. Cuthbert made some very interesting statements. He pointed out that the tourist was re sponsible for the high class nature of some oi our transportation raciiities. He pointed to the ferry service be tween Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria. In winter these splendid steamships have often carried as low as between 60 and 70 passengers. Anyone knows that if that were the normal travel they could not be maintained on the run for two months. It is the tourist in summer that swens tne business to such an extent as, to make it possible to mainain this nigh class service the year round, because it is not unusual for each steamship to carry from 700 to 900 passengers a single trip in sum mer. The tourist travel in the future is going to improve many other lines or transportation and to cause other transportation enterprises' to be start ed. Take, for instance, the Anacortes ferry which was inaugurated this year. It was an experiment with nothing to show what its prospects were, and yet all who are familiar with the results know that it has been so successful as to very largely increase the number of automobilists that have visited Van couver Island. In fact, the city of Victoria claims a benefit of rot less than $250,000 to its business men through its operation, and it has been a profitable venture for those engaged in it. In the future we will find in the Pa cific Northwest that a large amount of local capital will be invested in new transportation routes, either by auto mobile, by train or by ferry. And this opens up all the prospects for new cap ital that can be employed in catering to the tourist travel. 'I found." said Mr. Cuthbert. "in visiting Portland in June, that Sam Lancaster, one of Oregon s leading cit izens, who was the engineer of the great Columbia Itiver Highway, had opened up thre.e most beautifully lo cated, elegantly equipped camps for tourists where there were no hotels. One of them is on the Columbia River Highway, one, I believe, at Lost Lake, and I forget where the other one is but the point is, that this is a new employ ment for capital. It is providing a new business enterprise tor Mr. Lan caster. It is employing a large num ber of people, but above all, it is pur chasing large supplies of furniture. beds, camp equipment, supplies and products of the soil, and other things that would not have been purhased but for the establishment, of these ramps, and but for the increase in the tourist travel. This is one of the great bene fits of the tourist business which has been overlooked bv the people of this Pacific Northwest. "Many people -look only at the dol lars which are spent by travelers for meals or at hotels, and forget that ev ery dollar spent for meals is to the beneht of the grower and producer, nd. of the laboring man, and every dollar spent in the hotels is for the beneht of the merchant and the pro ducer and the caterer and the manu facturer who would not have this busi ness but for the tourist. In the near future we are going to fee millions of dollars spent in new hotel.-, new accommodations at lake and mountain resorts where not a dol lar has been spent so far, and in cities where the hotel accommodation at present is not either sufficient or satis factory. And in the expenditure of these millions of dollars the general public is going to be benefited. This li in addition to the ordinary expendi ture by the tourist while he is amongst us. If the plans of the association for next year, which are now being ma tured, are carried out, 1 believe 1923 will see the greatest tourist year we have ever had and probably we will have more visitors than any other re sort section has ever had in a single year. This will be in spite of the fact that this season we had many large national conventions which we will not have next year. The point I want to make, how ever, said Mr. cutnoeri, "is not mat the benefits derived from the tourist business are solely in catering to the visitor while he is here, nor in his ex penditure with our stores, automobile dealers, garages, etc., but in the em ployment of capital and labor, in new transportation enterprises in new building operations for hotels ar.d camps, arwi other accommodations at new or existing resorts, and in the in creased business which is given to manufacturers of blankets, linens, fur niture, crockery and all the other items thst go into the equipment of hotels and camp sites, and in the employ ment cf more labor and in the general increase cf business amongst those who handle irr a wholesale or retail way the articles just referred to." LESSEE Tum-A-Lum and Tum-A-Lum Prodircl AS we motored through the country, we stopped at a prosperous-looking ranch that was fenced with Tum-A-Lum fence posts and Tum-A-Lum fence boards. On gaining entrance to the yard we saw a house, barn, garage,. chicken coop, hog pen, apple house and machine shed, all built of Tum-A-Lum material. The mouldings, doors, win dows, shingles, plaster board, ceiling paper, lath, plaster, brick, sand, lime and cement all came from the Tum-A-Lum, Tl;e hog pen was covered with the best grade of Roofing put up especially for the Tum-A-Lum yards. As we went to the wood shed there were Tum-A-Lum Slabs and in the coal bin lay a good supply of Tum-A-Lum Lump Coal. In our conversation with the owner we learned he had used Tum-A-Lum Plan Books and had gained his ideas from other Tum-A-Lum customers. We have the same satisfied customers all over Oregon and Washington. SERVICE" is our motto. Phone 4121. That's our self-starter. TUM-A-LUM LUMBER CO. LUMBER BILL, Mgr.
