That is what thousands of customers tell us. For quality, length of service, for protection against skidding, for size and strong construction, River side Cords equal tires even at one-third higher cost. Then why pay an extra price? Here are the facta . The quality-service giving quality-ofRiverside Cords, and the big saving in price, have made Ward's the Jargest retailers of tires in the world/ We sell from 5,000 to 6,000 tires a day to men just like yourself. Many of them to men who have used Riverside Cords for years. Built-in Quality "Quality First." Look at the tire. The big heavy blocks of live rubber in the center, the extra thick side studs and the husky ribs give long mileage. They grab the wet roads and help prevent skidding. Riversides have a national rep utation for quality. To this we have added a reputation as the "Safety Tire." C'I have 4 Riverside Tires on "Two Riverside Tires and my car. They have given me heavy duty tubes have worn better service than any other out two sets of more expensive tire I have ever used, and I tires used on the other side of have used 7 different kinds." the same car.

C. 212 THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL YOUR EDITOR SUGGESTS! Snappy letters from correspondents and other mem- bers of the Brotherhood create the welcome impression that the WORKER is being read and appreciated. That is the reason why it is unnecessary for this "proclamation" to carry a kick or a wail. And it doesn't. What it does carry is an invitation to the casual reader to become a steady reader, and to the steady reader, to become a booster for wider and more careful perusal of the JOURNAL. There are a number of brothers who pick up the magazine, glance at its contents, toss it aside, and forget to return to it. We want to cut down that number. We take pride in calling to the attention of the mem- bership the fact that the February WORKER carried an article, "How Rich Are We In Water Power?" that has been widely commented upon. It was what employer newspapers are fond of calling an "exclusive story" that is, an article carrying facts and figures hitherto unpublished. The March number, now in your hand, carries another such article, "Shall Electrical Workers Live Longer?" This is based on the death records of the I. B. E. W. Benefit Association of the last three years. It will interest you. More articles of this kind are to follow. It means that the WORKER is going to be more valuable to you and to your working mate.' If he doesn't read it, get him to. I " I Get some of your non-union friends to read your maga- I i zine. Be proud of it. I I All this will mean, in the end, a better organization.
