EDITON TELLS WHEN
A MAN IS EDUCATED
Discussing “what constitutes an
education,” Thomas A. Edison said
a man is educated when he is "some
what familiar with every branch of
the environment in which we live, so
cial, commercial and scientific.”
This holds out hope to the young
people struggling upward in the world
today. They can educate themselves.
No better and more concise fund of
information is held out to men and
women,' boys and girls today than the
New Universities Dictionary, now be
ing distributed to readers of this pa
per. This dictionary condenses in
one volume most of the information
concerning the world’s present-day ac
tivities. It is more than a vocab
ulary, more than a mere list of words
—it. is a complete inventory of today’s
English.
This paper’s oiti'r of this fem.irka
ble boo); has proved t<. be highly pop
ular. The demand for the dictionary
continues with increasing force. Al
ready new supplies have been order
ed, and the publishers say they have
equal demands from other cities, mak
ing it hard for- them to keep up with
order's. Since this is purely an edu
cational offer, and the books are giv
en out at nominal expense, the mere
cost of handling, the time limit will
soon be reached, and readers are urg
ed to get their copies without delay.

HOW the cost of building quality tires has been brought down to the lowest
level in history was explained by H. S. Firestone, President of the Company,
to-the stockholders at the annual meeting on December 15, 1921.
7. All inventories and commitments at or below the market.
2. Increased manufacturing efficiency and volume production reduced factory
overhead 58%.
3. Selling costs reduced 38%.
> Mr. Firestone stated, “This reduction in prices is made possible by our unusually
advantageous buying facilities, and the enthusiasm, loyalty and determination of our
100% stockholding organization.
“Due credit must be given to Firestone dealers who are selling Firestone tires on
a smaller margin of profit. This brings every Firestone saving direct to the car
owner.”
The saving through first cost plus the saving through high mileage doubles
Firestone economy and is daily adding new fame to the Firestone principle of service—
