: James Martin_ says: * Isuppose every man has an ambition to . become a big factor in the business world, particularly after he has had a little tastey of success. I admit to an .ambition to build up a big business bearing my name —not that | want {o pile up money for = money’s sake, because if 1 had millions I could not get more out of life than'l am now getung, 'so- far-as the needs and de- -sires of my family-are concerned. If one has talenf in any particular direc- tion I think he awes it to the world to use it so that many will be benefited by it. Fifteen'yezrs ago I became interested in automobile tires. I used to watch the wheels of automobiles go round and round, knowing that they and the cars themselves and their occupants depended upon the tires for comfort, certainly, and for safety to a'great extent. I suppose tires fascinated me the same as.music or art or engineeting or politics or the many other things in the world fascinate other people, so I started to sell tires, but I did more than that, I investi- gated the quality of theé tires before I re-- <commended them to my customers. There are many good tires, but I got the idea after experimenting and testing for several years that I could design a tire that would be more nearly a perfect non-skid tire than any tire I-ever.saw. The young woman who worked with me in my office became greatly interested in my ambition to design a tire of this kind and -in the manufacture of it. A smart, loyal woman is a great help to a man if he has the sense to appreciate her. This young woman took sa much inter-: est in me that 1 began to take a great in- terest in her, but frankly I took in her a very different kind of interest. As d mat- ter of fact 1 fell head over heels in love with hér and told her so-and asked her to marry me—and she said she would. *We are married and have three children and are partners in the true sense of the word. For several years now we have saved a good part of the ‘money we have earned and all we saved we kept putting back into the business, knowing that it would grow if we pushed it harder. Then my dream about designing the non-skid tire came true. gin pt 2 1 gave it the name “Martin Cord Tire,” which is known favorably by the trade all over the couptry. If there is a better tire have absolute faith in-its quality and its endurance and especially in its non-skid feature. It is made in all sizes and retails from $19.00 (the price for the smajlest tire) to $121.00 (the price for the biggest tire used on trucks). Although the Martin Cord Tire has been on the market for a short time only, it is being used by thousands of autoriobile owners who prefer it to any other tire. every automobile owner thinks his car is the car for him and he thinks the same about the tire he chooses for it. It is human for all of us to think that the things that we like are the best. There is such @ general liking for the Martin- Cord- Tire is-a success.’ 1 know that I can sell my share of tires and make all the money 1 shall ever need, also all that my wife and children will ever need. ; But that is not the. thing. sidea of serving only his family, particu- " " larly after he realizes that he has succeed- That T eli Facts and’ ed in pfoducing something good that should' be manufactured -in . sufficient quantity to meet the demand > 3 My wife and 1 have made, fairly and “honestly, enough money to retire if I wanted to, but 1 would die if I did not work and my wife and children would not - have any regpect for me if 1 did not work. _lived all my life.

Factory : West Haven,\Conn. P. O. Address: New Haven, Conn. | I_ Charles H. Bortell, Jr., says: You know there is always a measure of satifaction-in succeeding with what one sets out to do. 1 feel very good about getting James Marttn to become the President of the Martin Tire & Rubber Company, and to have him say that he is glad to be the head of the company and to manufacture the Martin Cord Tire in the factory now nearing completion in West Haven, Cona.,, which, whilé a separate town, is really a part of New Haven. It has been a long struggle. for me to bring about the present satisfactory situ- I have lived in New Haven since February, 1919, and have beer on the job day and night, which will be_a credit,”] am sure, to this pros- ation in the company’s affairs. planning and building a factor perous Connecticut community. The hardest part of my job, however, was to find a leader for this tire enterprise. I became interested in the tire business through a personal friend, who intended to go along with me in orgahizing a com- pany, but his health broke and I had to go it alone practically. But I was in and I made up my mind to go through with it. - No man ever had the backing -of more loyal stockholders than I have had, and I think it is only fair to myself to say that no group of stockholders ever had any man more willing to honestly repre- sent them, by making every dollar count, than | have been. Al the stockholders are mightily pleased that their money has been used in the building of something that is tangible asset. The whole enterprise has been free from. the usual promotion methods, which take people’s money by wonderful promises and then give them nothing back for their money. Less than a million dollars has been invested in this enterprise, but there is something to show for every dollar sub- Personall I take as much satisfaction in making this statement as I do in telling you about the factory now nearly ready for business. It is confidently expected that we will be able to start manufacturing tires by the middle of March, Contractors have assured us that they will be ready by that time. We will be very glad to get started, because we have bona fide orders on our books right now for tires to the amount seribed by the stockholders. of $750,000. A I doubt if any other company engaged in the manufacture of tires evet booked orders to this amount months in advance of starting the factory. There is a reason for our booking so many orders in advance of starting opera- tions, and that reason is due to the con- fidence reposed in Mr. James Martin, the President of the company, who enjoys the ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SHARING WITH US THE OWNERSHIP OF THIS BUSINESS ?

Instead of manufacturing 500 tires a day, as we are sure we will be compelled to do, I think we will have to manufac- ture 1000 tires a day, which we can do by working two shifts, each of them working 8 hours a day. We have not gone into the time busi- ncs‘? without-“knowing our, book™ pretty well. " We know, for instance, that no tire manufacturer can exist without making 2 minimum of -300 tires a day--so we - built a factory of sufficient size to make 500 tires a day——and we are going to make that many everv day without a shadow of a doubt. - We have been most conservative, and 1 think intlllifent, in the spending of money entrusted to us by our stockhold- ers. Furthermore we are foinz to be conservative in' the usé of advertising space in the newspapers to tell about our company and to give readers an oppor- tunity to become investors in 100,000 ad- ditional shares of common stock at $10 the share. : Another million dollars will be required to develop the business bn the big scale which is already assured by orders already in hand and orders that are promised. A great many of the old stockholders are buying up this new issue, because they see that their faith in the enterprise - has been justified as the result of the careful use of the money they put in be- fore even a site had been selected for the factory or ground had been broken for the building of it. g As an illustration of our conservative spending of money we will mail to you, it newslpaper today.
