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.

Where is the old-fashioned home.
vith its huge double log house with
'.arge yard and straight fence of rails
or polings; with its broad gravel
walk, the yard filled with honey
suckle, lilac, red roses, snowball,
ground ivy and other flowers and
hrubbety so common before potted
plants invaded the rural sections?
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. If you have
a chance to see this old home again,
brother, take a good look. Take a
mighty good look, for they are rap
idly passing away.
