LEON J. PINKSON
With the seating of M. C. Morris as
Pacific coast district manager of : the
Goodyear Tire and Kubber company, a
conference has been in progress at the
local branch of the big Akron tire
concern, at which all the coast branch
managers, salesmen; and agents in the
territory were present. In addition to
becoming acquainted with thft*; v new
manager, the coast Goodyear men- met
for the first time IL. C. Roekhill. ,man
ager of the automobile tire depart
ment of the Goodyear.' company, and
C. W. Martin Jr., manager of the motor
truck tire department. <; Both of these
factory heads came to the coast with
Mr. Morris to study existing conditions
first hand and plan: to remain here
some weeks before returning to the
east. -:■.■"»,■'«■;'' '■■*. - ' •."■'■•
In speaking of his visit here Mr.
"Roekhill said yesterday: "This is my
first trip to California, and. while I
have not been here long. I have been
able to see that there are still greater
possibilities for the automobile-1 here
Than have already been developed. Your
road conditions are better than most
cf thY states in the east, and with good
roads the service ability of both cars
and tires is increased, which naturally
cfits upkeep costs. With cheaper cost
of operation the ranks of motorists are
bound to swell.
"We are strong advocates of the good
roads cause,* as will be seen from the
way we pledged our support to .- the
national transcontinental highway proj
ect. With good roads we believe mo
toring will increase and naturally the
demand for tires will show a substan
tial gain. We are not anxious to see
how many tires we can sell one motor
ist, but we build our casings so that
they will give the best of service and
thus increase our ranks of boosters. ; At
all of our branches we are improving ,
our service departments in order to
Insure our users the best of treatment
at all times."
Mr. Morris, who becomes manager- of
the Pacific coast territory, was formerly
In charge of the carriage tire depart
ment of the Goodyear company at Ak
ron and is well up in the tire industry
and the Goodyear business policy. ?He
succeeds T. E. Powell, who recently
resigned. Frank Carroll, who is one
of the most popular and successful men
in the local industry, remains as man
ager of the San Francisco branch of
the company. - :*-■■

ease of operation. As announced by the

spoke of the steering wheel, release
the clutch, and the desired speed was
obtained.

JOKE THIS TIME WAS
ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Man in Line Who "Made
Your Shirts" Introduced
as Major Shurtz
Many are the amusing stories at
tributed to Abraham Lincoln, and like
all good story tellers, he became the
butt of many funny yarns himself. It
is told of him that at one of his early
receptions a man came up and shook
his hand. The man proved to be his
shirt maker, but Lincoln did not rec
ognize him. and told him so. :
"Oh," said the man, "I made your
shirts." ■". -~ ' -■ ; ',; , - -■:
In the noise and confusion. Lincoln
did not exactly understand him, but
with his usual desire to make every
body welcome, he turned to his secre
tary, who stood near, and said: ;■--. ,;
» "Here, Mr. Hay, I want you to meet
Major Shurtz." ; - /:■ '•: : .--'-Nj
It was some time before Mr. Lincoln
could be made to understand that the
man did not claim to be Major Shurtz,
but that he had said, ;"I , made your
shirts." ;v —' -. : ■>.".,'. •'.'V'
It was Lincoln who said that the
most important book in the library
is the bible. * ; Lincoln was fa, great
student, and much of his learnings
came from what we term ''every day"
books. ~ , . . ... s - r
