Have you any boys and girls at your house? If you have, you've got a shoe bill. And here's the way to reduce it. Put the youngsters, as well as yourself7 on Good- year Wingfoot Soles. The kids love 'em, and they've got to go some to wear them o,ut. GUARANTEED TO OUTWEAR ANY OTHER SOLE. Don't think you've seen .anything like the new Goodyear Wingfoot TAN Sole. There isn't any- thing "like" it. Waterproof. Springy. Sure-gripping. Tough enough for the toughest service, good-looking on any shoe. Will not mark floors. This sole is the peerless walking mate of the famous Goodyear Wingfoot Heel. More than 200,000 pairs of them' have gone into the hardest kind of service on men's work shoes and growing boys' and girls' school shoes, and not a single pair bas ever come back! A big money saver for you--especially now, when good shoes are so high. You can get them on new shoes made by Amer- ica's leading manufacturers, or have them put on by your shoe repairman. Be sure you get Wingfoots-they're Goodyear guaranteed! Guaranteed To Outwear Any Other Soles

It required thirty-four hours for one machinist to chip this bed plate and get it ready to weld, and four welders, working in relays of two, for five to ten minutes at a time, performed the job in sixteen hours. The casting was so hot that a man could not stand the heat more than a few minutes at a time. There were eleven separate welds, making a total of 168 inches of welding, averaging 1v2 inches thick. All welds were reinforced 3/8 x 2v2 inches. The welding was done with Tobins bronze. The total cost to weld this bed plate was about one-sixth the cost of a new casting.

But,because you are thriftyand thought- ful, you go slowly-knowing that every- thing depends onwhether your husband can hold his job.

He has the ability; he has the "stuff" and he has the ambition to go ahead- but HIS first thought is to hold his job. His whole future, your happiness, de pends on that. He may lack the con- fidence and aggressive spirit of the man who is sure of his job and who thinks only of promotion and the good things promotion brings. But if his job were insured, what a difference that would make to you. He knows then that if he loses it he has $250 to $10,000 coming. He develops the confident, aggressive spirit. The time he had devoted to worrying he gives to things that will bring promotion . He is happier. . . things are brighter. . . the future is full of promise. Let us tell you how the C. P.

Excepting milk, these products are largely handled in freight trains ancl therefore the equip- ment in which they are carried is clesigi~edmost for freight train opera- tion. However, a considerable nunlbcr of cars are cquippecl for pnssen- gcr train operation. The total liunlhcr of cars in both classes of scsvice in March, 1922, was as follows: Railroad Privately Type of Car Owned Owned Total lief rigerator-Freight ...... 54,65 1 92,174 146.S25 Ref rigerator-Passenger Expenses ...... 1,907 ...... 1,907 Nilk-Passenger, Express...... 1.883 ...... 1,882 Heater-]?ox Freight ...... 1,250 ...... 1.250 Total Cars in Service...... 59,751 92,174 151,925

In addition to these cars, many box cars are provided with insulation ancl ventilators and used to carry semi-pcrisliable products not requiring citllcr refrigeration or heat, but simply protection against extreme outside temperatures or the hcat of the lading itself. Thc following table gives the number of such cars in service: Railroad Privately Type of Car Owned Owned Total Insulated-Box Freight ...... 4,692 120 4,812 Ventilator-Box Freight ...... 60,829 ...... 60,829 -- Total Cars in Service...... 65,521 120 65,641

Thesc cars have been classified by the Aincrican Railway Association as folloms: CONSTRUCTION In the construction of refrigerator cars, as in other moclcrn cars, tllc tendcncy has been toward steel underfraincs and also largely tomarcl steel body framing; in some cases all steel construction has been employed- esccpt for insulation and some minor parts. The use of proper materials and care in initial construction are vcrp important factors; the right grades of properly seasoned lumber for each part should be used; insula- tion should bc handlecl carefully, so that it does not become torn or dam- agccl. Floors, malls and roofs, and the hulkheads and other parts of the interior shoulcl be constructed in accorclaace with the best practices in car constructio~ias established by experience. (ED.ADV.)

To Ky Friend in Overalls: The next time you need a pair of over- alls, I want you to go to your dealer and ask him to show you a pair of Keys. Then kindly examine them closely, note the splendid, long wearing fast color denim, the big deep strong pockets and the good vforhanship. Try on a pair and see how cox- fortable they are and how well they fit.

If you like then bug a suit. And -- after you have xorn them, if for any reason they prove unsatisfactory, return them to your dealer, ;:et your money back or a new pair free. --This is my personal guarantee. -75e+. Presldent.
