Californian, At 94,
Eager To Wed Again
Santa Crus, Cal —He was 94 yea’s
old, but his ideas were young and
he was quite insistent that County
Clerk H. E. Miller allow him to file
notice of his intention to apply for
a marriage license.
That no woman accompanied him
did not embarrass him. In fact, ne
admitted, he had no particular
woman in view, but if the cleric
would wait "Just a few moments'
he would go out and get one.
He gave his name as John P. Pe
ters, residence, Santa Barbara, “on
a tour with the whole family."
On the court house steps, where
the clerk followed him. he was met
by two men.
"Hello, grandad trying to g’t
married again?" queried one.
ft was learned that Peters in
sists on getting married whenever
hr arrives at a county seat.

SUPER-SERVICE
RIVERSIDE
No finer tire
ever was built!
30,000 miles .... The Longest and Strongest
Definite Guarantee in the Industry!
MONTGOMERY WARD & CO. offers yon—on this Super
Service RIVERSIDE—the longest and strongest guarantee in
the tire industry! .... We guarantee that when you buy a
Super-Service RIVERSIDE, yon will receive a minimum of
30,000 miles of service. And that guarantee stands, without
"ifs,” ''huts,” or other conditions! Moreover, to substantiate
this guarantee, our own test fleet has repeatedly driven
these tires 40,000 .... 50,000 .... and 60,000 miles. We
do not believe that 25 per cent of its users will ever wear
this tire out.
.Naturally, only one reason enables ns to give you this
superlative tire, backed by this superlative guarantee ....
It is because the Super-Service RIVERSIDE is built of the
finest? materials, by famous makers, and according to the
most'ihodern methods known!
Its tread, for example, is 50 to 70 per rent thicker ....
and both cross-section and diameter are much larger ....
than those of ordinary tires. We use only the costliest long
staple Egyptian cord that money can buy—with extra-heavy
layers of rubber between each ply.... And this superlative
care in construction means, as a result, that the Super-Ser
vice RIVERSIDE is a safe tire at all speeds. Its ribbed side
walls are extremely resistant to curb damage —there is
unusual freedom from skidding and punctures—and along
with extra road-traction you enjoy much easier riding than
any ordinary tire can possibly provide!
Yet-if you will compare this guaranteed quality, for a
moment, with Ward’s prices .... then with the prices of
any other make of tire'merely claiming .superlative per
formance .... you will see*why thousands appreciate its
excellence still more because of its economy. -Do not, how
ever, expect to find any other organization of Montgomery
Ward & Co.’s responsibility offering you an unconditional
30,000-mile guarantee at any price! In this respect, Super
Service RIVERSIDE stands absolutely alone ....
THIS STORE displays a complete line of tires. The
30,000-mile Super-Service RIVERSIDE; the 16,000-mile
First-Quality Rl VE RSIDE; and the 10,000-mile WARD WEAR.
Sizes to fit any car.... at prices saving you from $2 to $15
per tire. Drop in and see how
good tircB can be—without cost
ing you a penny extra for names,
claims or other substitutes for
guaranteed quality.
Don't pay more for
any other tire unless
more miles are guaranteed!
Look at <he»e prices....and then
figure your tire rout per mile!
