GARSIDE 1 TT WAS six years ago that Annie Hay Bryan of the nuawest xouna in xne clutter or cioin ana oeaas ana buckles that accumulates in every household, a piece of green felt of a very Inartistic shade. She did not want It; she could not. through some inherent trait of thrift, waste it. Perhaps it was not an Instinct of economy that caused her to lay it to one side; perhaps it was an inspira tion that comes many times to many people, and which so many refuse to entertain. Her Inspiration was that It would make a bean bag why not a green turtle bean bag? She cat out the pat tern carefully, sewed it up, filled It with beans and closed the gap through which she had poured tnem, and lo. the first of the animal bean bags of the menagerie that extended ultimate ly from coast to coast was born. Orders came for more. She found that while children preferred animal bean bags that bore no resemblance In color to their living prototypes, they demanded that they be faithful in outline. She cut carefully; she em ployed all the help she could find to sew; she bought beans till the grocer wondered if she were operating an army boarding house, and within a short time pale blue cats, pink pups, yellow monkeys, green horses and purple cows, with their little Insldes composed of beans were being thrown Into the air by thousands of little hands. This was her Idea of making money. What's yonrs? Copyright, 15261 Thompson Featura Service. KW1Z. Res. C s. Pat. Oft New Questions.

W owner'stiregoesback on him. he more or less cheerfully charges it off as a personal loss and tries to do better next timee It is different with the motor truck owner Every tire must do exacdy what is expected of it or be charged against his business. Expeiimenting withtires is not the job of the truck owner. The United States Rub ber Company spent two years in developing the idea of putting a heavy truck on air before it brought out the first pneu matic truck tires. Even then it was not satisfied Even at that time it saw that you could not take an ordinary passenger car tire, enlarge it and make it do what truck owners expect of their tires. It went back again to first principles to the foundation to the bead of the tire. The car owner who seeks United Slates standards in: tubes is -well paid in more mileage for his tires. U.S. Red Tubes. U.S. Grey Tubes. It created a new type of bead construction, posi' tively anchoring the cords. It put in the right number of breaker strips, stronger side walls, a heavier tread. The result was a pneumatic truck tire not an enlarged passen ger car tire. Created to fill a need not padded and bolstered up to fill a market already created There are still some sizes of U. S. Nobby Cord Tires you cannot buy. The market is there, waiting for them. But they will not be released until this company is satisfied that they will do whattrttck owners expect of them. The United States Rubber Company has never asked truck owners to pay for its tire experiments. ic Truck Tire 9 QUICK TIRE SERVICE, Inc. 323 Texas Street Have You Heard?
