All attempts to meusure this inc e in quantitative terms are fraught with danger because of the great increase in prosperity since 1921, due to other causes. x x x In addition to the increase in money wages we must consider the exten sive thrift campalgns carried on| throughout the country x x t it would be idle to dispute the mp- tlon that prohibition has y A factor, and an important one, in keeping savings deposits on a high level. “Good authority can also be found 'i;.lhmll to a thousand or more busi- |ness men, directory tn Important |corporations selected at random, iq.\hmg for their verdicts as business |CAREER AT SEA OF GREAT AlD men upon prohibition, yielded a pre- |dominantly ‘wet' result=not, appar- ently so much because of ohserved upon busincss or industry as hecause of strong personal prejudice | dissatisfaction with the soclal solitical results of prohibition as w them.” | Various sources were drawn for the health statistics presented in the report.

S. Royal Balloons, it will please you to know this— These tires hold their good looks during the full period of their long service life. They do not show finger marks, mud or grease stains. The beauty of U. S. Royal Balloons is in ad- dition to thosé characteristics which have made these tires famous. They are distinctive in being true Low-Pressure balloons. Their construction and design positively avoid the necessity of over-inflating the tires to insure long service. You can run them at genuine low air pressures and get the comfort that balloon tires are intended to give. Their “Low-Pressure Tread” is flat. It pro- vides much greater area of road contact than a round tread, thereby distributing the weight evenly to every tread block. That is why the tread wears slowly and evenly. The continucus flexing of a balloon tire on the road calls for great strength and flexibility of construction. Latex-treated Web Cord, the patented process developed and patented by the United States Rubber Company, meets this flexing perfectly and accounts for the excep- tional mileage of U. S. Royal Balloons. So U. S. Royal Balloons make a real contri- bution to the beauty and the comfort of the modern car. Start now enjoying the advantages of true Low-Pressure balloons.
