As thn nnmo slgnlflcM, It Is a vcrl

I tarred From United Hlnlen
Whnt aro tho possibilities of rlnd

Is denominated by Infected animals,
In tho ordinary truffle with cattlo.
Cattlo uro highly suscoptlblo to tho
dlscaso, Shcop, goats, deor, nnd'cnm

thoso nnlmnls can ho Imported Into
tho United States from countries
across sens without n permit from
tho socrntnry of agriculture, nnd per
mits nro not issued for Importations
from countries In which rinderpest
exists. This eliminates tho chief
sourco of dnnger.
Undor regulations Issued Jointly by
(lip department of agrlctilturo and
tho treasury department, Importation
Into tho Unltod States of any animal
by-products tnken or removed from
animals nffocted with anthrax- foot-nnd-mouth
dlscaso, or rinderpest is
prohibited. Hides of meat cattlo,
calf skins, buffalo hides, shcop skins,
goat skins, nnd doer skins offorod

REMEMBER the time
. the first autqmobile
parade was organized? Even
the good old torchlight pro
cession had to give way
before the advance of prog
ress. Tires are often sold the
same way politics are.
The last people to wake
up to what they are getting
are the people who pay the
bills.
The bills are getting too
big these days in both cases.
And the man who is feeling
it most with respect to tires
is the man who owns a
moderate-price car,
III
The idea that the small car
owner doesn't need a good
tire is rapidly going the way
of all mistaken ideas.
He needs it more than
anyone else. It's part of our
job, as we view it, to see
that he gets it.
Our tire service starts with
goorftiresU.S. Tires. AH
sizes made to a'single stand
ard of quality none graded
down to the price of the car
they will go on.
U. S. perfected the first
straight side automobile tire
the first pneumatic truck
tire.
The U. S. guarantee is for
the life of the tire, and not
for a limited mileage. ,
IV
When we recommend and
sell U. S. Tires we do so in
the interest of greater tire
economy. It is our experi
ence that that is the best
way to build up a sound and
sizable business.
