fodder and the early hay crop through
this section. They think that one-fifth
of a cotton crop is a liberal estimate
from the present outlook.
Messrs. E. N. Crawford and Hugh
Henderson have returned from a visit
in South Georgia. They report the
crop in some sections better than it
is here, but nothing like a full crop.

Regarding the description of Robert

been unduly refined by his portraits.

Firestone first made the low price
of $13.95 on the Standard Non-Skid,
May 2. Unusual purchasing power
through big volume of business, and
the great efficiency of its $7,000,000
Plaijt No. 2, manufacturing exclu
sively 30x3H size, made this possible.
Now, the production of the Extra-
Size 30x3^ tire has been transferred
to Plant No. 2. This permits the
price reduction on this tire from
$16.65 to $13.05. No such value has
ever before been offered tire users.
If your dealer hasn’t the Extra-'
Size in stock ask for our Stand
ard Non-Skid type at. the same
price. You will still be getting an
unusual tire value.

strong. See your Firestone dealer
