the restriction act went tnte effect Rubber re
striction tills year will cost American car owners
at least $100,000,000, and very likely $1100,000,000.
Every ten-rent. advance in the price of crude rub
ber mesns an additional burden »f abou’ $75,000,-
000 to the car owners of the Cnited States "

meant well loved, for the more inti
mately known the truer she was
found to be. The floral offerings
were numerous and beautiful.
