At the Christmas season a year
ago, Mrs. Moltz gave a similar com

community tree held in Lake Toxa
way at that time.
The people of Lake Toxaway are
united in praise and thankfulness to
Mr. and Mrs. Moltz and Mrs. John
son for their exhibition of generosity
during this season when so many
people are in need of food and cloth
ing.
In discussing the event, C. R.
Clark, superintendent of the Baptist
Sunday School, declared, "If more
wealthy people who make donations
would make them reach the real
needy as these have done, instead of
giving to great institutions which are
already endowed with millions, for
the newspaper praise they hope to
get by it, they would have more stars
adorning their crowns in the final
day of rewards by Him who sees and
takes note of every gift. May the
Lord continue his blessings upon
these generous people in this kind of
noble work."

FIRESTONE SAYS '32
! TO BE BETTER YEAR
Following is report given by Harv- ,
ey S Firestone, president of tne Fire- \
stone Tire and Rubber company, in :
which J?e asserts that T9S2 will i be*
.letter year for business: ,, j
On behalf of the Board of : Direc
tors I present herewith the consolida- i
ied statement of your Company titt ;
the fiscal year ending October 81, ;
1931, including all Foreign and Do- i
meatic Subsidiaries and Firestone
Service Stores.
The rubber tire industry has had
some very unusual years owing to
wide fluctuations of its principal raw
materials, rubber and cotton. This
year it again suffered by having rub
ier go below 5 cents per pound, the
lowest price in its history; and cot
ton below 6 cents per pound, the low
est price in more than thirty years.
In addition it has had the same dif
ficult problems all industries have
had in these times of depression and
? readjustment.
| However, I am proud and glad to
I submit to you a statement which I
! consider, in view of the conditions
I ind difficulties of the past year, the
'best statement from a sales and
| profit standpoint, the Firestone or
ganization has ever made. Sales
1 amounted to $113,797,282 which, af
jter providing for depreciation, Fed
eral taxes and all other charges, re
sulted in a net profit of $6,028,630.
Raw materials were priced at cost
'or market whichever was lower and
finished goods at cost.
' These sales and profits could only
:have been made this year in the tire
industry by an enthusiastic, energet
ic and loyal organization such as
ours, who willingly made every sac
rifice including large reductions in
their compensation, and by the man
agement anticipating and "adjusting
all expenses and affairs of the com
pany to present day conditions.
In view of the company's policy to
have its Employees' Stock Contracts
i on a basis favorable to the employee,
the Board of Directors during the
year adjusted the Employees' Stock
Contracts and set up a reserve of
$3,004,850 from the Employees' Stock
1 Surplus which was created at the
time the stock was set aside for em
ployees. This adjusts their price to
$20 per share and gives them ad
ditional incentive to earn dividends
and increase the value of their stock.
Because of the prevailing low
prices for securities, your Directors
deemed it advisable to acquire for
the Treasury during the year, a sub
stantial amount of the Company's
. outstanding Preferred Stock. Forty
, eight thousand nine hundred and
thirty-one (48,931) shares were thus
acquired at a discount below par of
$1,960,164 which amount has been
j credited to a reserve as applicable to
tKe cost of certain of the Company's
I investments which at this time, be
cause of prevailing security markets,
show a depreciation in value.
With raw materials at such low
prices, economical manufacturing and
reduction of selling and distributing
? copts. become greater factors for suc
. cess in the tire industry. Your Com
. pany is in an unusually strategic and
I favorable position in this respect,
i Much of our rubber comes direct to
? our factories without extra commis
sion or handling cost. We have large
warehouses for the purchase and
| storage of cotton for our own fabric
mills. Our plants are most efficient
. and up-to-date. These advantages to
jgether with our economical distribu
tion system, enable us to give the car
owners exceptional values at extreme
ly low prices.
Firestone One-Stop Service Stores
fare located in the nrincipal buying
centers throughout the country. The
number of service stores showing
profits during the year was gratify
ing and we anticipate marked im
! provement this coming year. Many
of these service stores are equipped
? for warehousing our products there
by providing better service and more
'economical distribiiii'm to our deal
'ers. These service stores have been
1 helpful in stabilizing retail prices
; and have given us more intimate
j knowledge of retail merchandising
which enables us to give our dealers
better merchandising and selling pol
icies.
In 1930 according to statistics,
20 per cent more tire mileage was
'consumed than was sold and approx
PROMINENT MAN
CALLED IN DEATH
Dr. B. S. Mcintosh, 73,, who died
! at the home of his niece, Mrs. F. E.

Hill Cemetery, hi Waynqsville, Sun
;day afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dr. Mc
intosh was a vestryman In the Way
neifriUe. Episcopal church for a num
[ Funeral services were conducted at
St,, Philips Episcopal church by the
Rev. Harry Perry, rector of the
charch. ?* -
Dr. Mcintosh established the first
drug business west of Asheville at
Waynesville and he operated a thriv
I ing business there for several years.
He was a graduate of Furman Uni
versity and for several yeaTs was a
member of the Examining Board of
Pharmacy in North Carolina. Dr.
; Macintosh's wife died in 1926. and
there had been no children from the
, union.
i Uncle Mack, as he was affection
ately known to hundreds of people
i here, had made Brevard his home for
many years, operating a variety
I store and gift shop.
Pall bearers were: S. M. Macfie,
[Dick Zachary, William Wallis, H.N.
J Carrier, Dr. G. B. Lynch and J. M.

IN MEMORIAM
DR. J. B. S. McINTOSH
j On December 26th, a quiet visitor
'came to the bedside of one, who was
' affectionately known to hundreds of
'people in Western North Carolina as
! "Uncle Mack."
| The visitor was one generally
dreaded. Frequently he is referred to
as Gaunt Death, the Grim Reaper, or
some other harsh phrase. But he was
not so regarded in this instance. He
I would have been eagerly welcomed
'by the one to whom he came, had his
presence been realized.
i For Uncle Mack was old, and
feeble, and very, very tired. For
^ome time he had waged a losing
fight against ill health, financial wor
' ties, and the weakness of did age.
I All his relatives of his own genera
tion were gone, and scarcely any of
[ the close friends of his youth were
I left him. Nevertheless, until he was
!tco ill to realize his surroundings, he
i smiled at his friends, and made an
occasional joke.
1 Knowing that his joy in life was
? gone, those who loved him were glad
'when Death came, and quietly lifted
the burden from the lame and bent
old shoulders.
| Mr. Mcintosh was a unique char
'acter. His was a winning personality,
and he had a rare faculty for mak
ing friends. There was a gentle, old
fashioned courtesy in his manner,
.that won attention wherever he went.
! Kindliness was ingrained in his na
ture. Among those coming to pay the
last tribute of friendship, one phrase
| was repeated with almost unvary
ing regularity, "He was so kind."
Standing beside his bier, and lookr
,ing at the serene face, from which
[kindly Death had erased the marks
of suffering and weariness, one re?
called a part of the closing chapter
of The Pilgrim's Progress:
Christiana is preparing for her
passage across the river that would
end her journey.
"Then came in that good man, Mr.
, Ready-to-halt, to see her. So she said
to him, 'Thy travel hitherto has been
with difficulty; but that will make
thy rest the sweeter'."
Dear Uncle Mack, may your rest
be peaceful, and mav all the wounds
and scars of your toilsome journey be
I healed.
In affectionate remembrance.
HIS NIECE.
