Analyze Peerless Value : compare
Peerless with all other comparable eights
for, pickup, power, size, weight, comfort and
appearance. l
Then compare prices.
Peerless prices are lowest. And the contract
is emphasized by the exceptional character
of Peerless performance.
Peerless prices are based upon former low
costs of plant and equipment, and present
costs of labor and materials not upon new
buildings and equipment acquired during
the recent period of abnormal expansion
and excessive costs.

Is coal wasteful?
It is not necessary for us to dwell on the subject
of "Coal Waste." There are many articles nnd
editorials on this subject nppcaring in magazines
nnd newspapers. Even the coal coal dealer is
sounding the alarm in advertisements!
There is only one solution to this admittedly
serious problem: Instead of "laying in" wasteful
fuel now. just place your order for the "HOT
WAVE." Automatic Gas Fired Boiler.
The "HOT WAVE" method must not be con
fused with former attempts to utilize gas for
heating purposes.
Ask us to explain the BIG reason why the "HOT
WAVE" is the most efficient source of heat
supply.

THE U. S. ROYAL CORD
A famous tire a famous tread.
Acknowledged among motorists
nnd dealers alike as the world's
foremost example of Cord tire
building. Always delivering the
same repeated economy, tire after
tire, and season after season.
The stripe around the sldcwalls
is registered as a trade-mark in the
U. S. Fatcnt Office.
Get the The Serviceov Manufacturer
Intended "&u S
ould
EVERY car owner knows
what a difference it makes
whether he gets a fresh live tire
or one that has stood around on
some dealer's shelf for a 6cason
or two.
Odds and ends, a job lot of
this and that, are just as much
a hardship to the dealer as to
his customers.
Nobody wants them or will
take them if he knows it.
The dealer does not like to
sell them, but he has them on
his hands and there you are.
What the dealer wants is a quick
moving line of tires and tubes.
Tires and tubes that come to
you fresh out of the factory
alive with the service the maker
put into them.
You see now why so many
dealers are concentrating on
the one line of tires sure to meet
the wishes of ninety-five per
cent of their customers.
Why they are doing away
with a little of this, a little of
that, and the odd lots that stick
on the shelves.
In short, the progressive dealer
is looking for tires that will meet
his own sense of responsibility
to his customers his careful
selection of tires and his careful
handling of them in his store.
Concentration on United
States Tires and Tubes is the
business policy of thousands of
tire dealers today and hun
dreds more are coming to this
great and dependable line every
month.
The United States Rubber
Company ha3 always been in
terested in seeing that you get
Un
United States
the right service out of your tires.
It selects its dealers with that
end in view.
It builds a line of tires on which
a dealer can concentrate and still
have the variety, to meet the
needs of every individual car
owner.
A complete and finished lincf
for all roads and in all sizes. At
prices consistent with what car
owners have learned to look for
in high-quality tires.
More tire dealers arc conccn
trating on U S. Tires and Tubes
all the time.
Trade with them.
Get the advantage of their
superior purchasing power and
their quicker turn-over.
It is one sure way to get the
fresh, live tire service the maker
intended you to get.
