There in only one way to keep
your house free from flies and that
is to keep them out with good
Flies can do a lot of damage and
carry filth and disease with them,
so it will pay yon greatly to fix up
your old screens with new wire or

ning of the season.

dependability, mileage and economy.
Gum-Dipping, the Firestone patented

made. It, in itself, is a feature that places

ders above the rest.

(The Doctor of Towns)
-..... Says .............
houses, and yards littered wth a
little bit of everything.
Anything that is run down is
unattractive—it repels rather‘‘than
invites. It makes you say, “I
wouldn't have that", rather than,
"I sure would like to have one
of those". In the case of a com-
munity, “run down" causes you to
say, “I wouldn’t live here on a
bet", rather than to aay “I -LIKE
thds part of town".
Anything done or allowed to be
done that tends to clutter up a
community is bad for the com-
munity and anything bad for the
community drives business out of
and away from the community, and
when it la allowed to go on con-
tinuously, there is only 'one thing
that can happen:' the community
runs down; people move out and
busines goes "flooey ’’
Therefore, it is only good busi-
ness on the part of the people
who make up a community to see
to it that any practice that tends
to clntter up is eliminated.
One practice common to com-
muintles, whlcji is bad, is the dis-
tribution from door to door, from
store to store, from yard to yard,
frm car to car, of all sorts and
shapes and sizes of hand bills and
dodgers.
There are many cities, communi-
ties and towns that Will not allow
It at all; others require a license
fee •sufficient to make it imprac-
tical, and they are wise towns.
There may be an advertising
val4e in these dodgers for those

A movement is well under way

of people will come to this city
to take advantage of the Trades ■
Day bargains and to try for 'the
prizes that will be awarded.

companied by a band furnishing
