Bs GEORGE H. ROBERTSON. one of the Western cities a novel scheme is being tried out which tends to keep the traffic policeman visible at night. It !s a well known @act that on certain traffic posts it 1s almost impossible to see the tratlic had trouble with cars. An arrangement has been made by which @ strong spotlight Is placed either on the corner of a building of spotlight is directed to shine upon the trafflc man tn the centre of tLe street and keeps him in plain view all the time. There are a few posts in this city where an arrangement of this sort would be advisable and @ trial would soon show whether this scheme would work out properly here. ° During heavy weather, especially, the traffic man must be visible. In order to make bis position on his post clearer, I belleve that the white raincoat, cape and boots should be part of the equipment of the trafic man, There may be some objections to the adoption of this white equipment, but whatever objections there are will be overcome by the fact that this uniform makes the traffic man prom!- man, and {t is surprising that tie ° man on a post of this sort has not, on a corner pole of some sort.

Occasional treatment of this kind will keep the leather in good condition.

They may look, measure, weigh, seem alike. But they are as different in results as your two hands. For one of your two hands is from a little to a whole lot more enduring, effective, and efficient than the other. SOS SSF SSS Since all makes of tires are different, one make must be from a little to a whole lot more enduring, effective and efficient than the rest. And that make of tire is your make of tire. When you buy anything, you buy quality—or intend to—unless you permit your- self to be turned aside by the old just-as- good -at-a- little-lower-price argument. For—quality pays. We have found it to pay, as our tremendous sales in- creases show. Users of United States Tires have found it to pay —they keep on using our tires. seeee8e? eee We have packed, con- densed and epitomized so much quality into the con- struction of United’ States Tires that we feel absolutely certain that they are from a little to a whole lot more enduring, effective and effi- cient than any of the rest. If it were possible to get more quality into United States Tires, we would be the first to find the way— for we are far more severe critics of our tires than you who use them. In each of the five United States Tires—'Nobby’, ‘Chain’, ‘Royal Cord’, ‘Usco’, ‘Plain’—is that quality of material, construction, work- manship, and inspection which justifies the word super -quality, Super-Quality pays better —both you and us.
