Partnership Firm Ser Oar Owners uoday N the early days of automobile contests, Barney Oldfield—out to win every race—studied tires. His consistent success led other drivers to ask for tires constructed to his specifications. 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 preference that Oldfield is doing a bigger and better job of tire making.

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. Your Oldfield dealer has these facts—talk to him. ■ a • ‘‘Glad to see them Th. Bello-Paclfist.

What has become of the martin box on a tall, straight pole, filled with chattering martins, and where are the little grogp of bee-hives that used to sit in the corner of the yard, on past the old well with its windlass and rope that was breaking and letting the bucket back into the well just at , the most inopportune time? And' where is the long cap-and-ball rifle that once rested on two brackets, or •leer horns nailed parallel above the I door, with the powder horn and charger ‘hanging nearby? We also miss the half-dozen Indian arrow heads that lay in the bottom of the home-made willow basket on the -tand table in the middle of the ‘‘best room,” and likewise the decorated tortoise shell and varnishetl pine cone artel other curios picked up from nature’s garden of riches.
