Tha financial slacker—the individual who can but d<tea not buy Liberty bonds and War Havings Stumps. Slacking at home means more blood spilled by true blue American l(oys in France. Slacking in America means starvation for innocent women and children in Kngland, France and Italy: Slacking at home ia a menace to thn success of the American, Uritish and French arms in Prance. THE SLACKER 3 REWARD The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America will not forgive slacking. Th* alacker is a marked man. Not only during the war, but as the war goes on and the casualty lists come - in he will be more and more scorned and hated by decent citizens. After the war is over he will be an object of contempt. He will be without the regard of decent people in hit Community. His children and his children's children after him will pay a bitter price for hi* disloyalty For his failure under test to do his duty by his country and by humanity. Inexorable fato ia setting him apart nti'l he will not escape. Every Bushel Saved Now Will Supply a Soldier with Bread Until Next Harvest. 'Vten' Tread We Set Tire Standards Why in it thai United States Tires are setting new records for mile-age and serviceability? Why is it that the sal<-i of the«t« fires are consf?ot!y m< rm+ing by leaps and bounds ? The answer is found in the fac tories where United Stated Tires are made. Standards of construction for these t?res are higher' than' ever 'be fore known in the tire* industry. Makers rf tire fabrics tell us that the standards we have given them for United States Tire fabrics are higher than any previously known. Likewise through every process of construction from crude rubber to finished tiros—we have set new and higher standards everywhere. These standard* work out on your car in the practical economy de manded by war-times. United States Tires will raise any car to higher cffieiency. There is a type to suit every con dition of service. The nearest United States Sales and Service Depot dealer will cbecr fully ltd in selecting right ti^es for United States Tires arj Good Tires We know United States Tiro are good tireo. That's why we sell them. O. N. Sw«n»on, Smith Hdw. Co. Pell ■Mitchell, Pilot Mountain. Mt. Airy. Pilot Mount*im.
