WISE SAYINGS
An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound
of cleverness,
It is the lifted face that feels the
shining of the sun. -
Genius is taking Infinite pains—not
Inspiration, but perspiration.
Failures are with heroic minds the
stepping stones to success.
If those who are industrious all imi
tated the idlers, the world would soon
starve, :
There is something harder to face
than death, and that is the realization
of fallure and misdirected effort and
wrongdoing.
A true man’s alleglance is given to
that which is highest in his own na
ture. He reverences truth, he loves
kindness, he respects justice.
Life is a great and noble calling, not
a mean and groveling thing to be hur
ried through as we can, but a lofty and
exalted destiny.

CORD TIRES
The tire section above at the left shows
the condition of a Firestone 33x4Y4, Cord
Tire after 20,094 miles on a Yellow Cab
in Chicago.
The section at the right was cut from
a new Cord of the same size. Careful
measurements show that only 1/3 of the
tread of the tire on the Yellow Cab has
been worn away after this long, gruelling
test. The carcass is intact after more
than 11,000,000 revolutions.
Pirestone Cords have averaged over
10,000 miles on Chicago Yellow Cabs
(1,200 cabs all Fire
