OW, if you had only been smart enough to have
thought of making auto tires larger and not pumping
them up so hard you might have been the baloon tire
king and collected a few million dollars. It was a sim
ple thing to think of» and yet it didn’t come until 40 years
after rubber tires were invented. There are numerous
other inventions equally as simple, and fully as valuable
to he inventor. We have in more than one Vernonia boy
the making of a real inventor. Don’t discourage him.
Don’t scold him and insist that he is only wasting his
time and ought to be paying more attention to “something
useful.” He may not bring forth anything of value to
himself or the outside world, but if he does not he won’t
be the first one to fail. And if he does it may be worth a
million times the thought he put into it. It’s the simplest
things that have made fortunes—so don’t lose sight of
that the next time you start in to censure a boy for ‘.‘tin
kering around,”
N
AST year crude rubber was selling at 17c a pound.
Today the auto tire manufacturers of this country
are payisg $1.19 a pound, and there is a new report that
it is going to climb still higher. England controls the rub
ber market of the world. A year ago she had 52,000 tons
in storage; now it is said the supply has dwindled to less
than 4,000 tons on hand. So long as she continues her
rubber export restrictions America is going to have to
pay her whatever she asks, and as long as she can get an
enormous price it helps her to pay us what she owes us.
Tire manufacturers over her have not been able to lay in
a surplus, and are working pretty close to the edge. It’s
a long way from Vernonia to the rubber plantations of
British-owned Congo Free States. But if you want to see
whether there is a close connection or not, go round and
price an auto tire, and then ask what the same tire was
worth this time last year.
