AUVERGNE PRAISED BY
i ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT
Reproduces Independent’s Story of
How Auvergne Goes Over Top
With Bond Quota.
—
i:i Wednesday afternoon’s issue of
the Little Rock Democrat appeared
tTip story carried in the Independent
several days ago telling how the pa
triotic people of Auvergne went over
the top in the Third Liberty Loan
drive.
Comment on the article begins with
the Democrat saying:
“This is not fiction, but a real
story of how a little farming com
munity of Jackson county, Arkansas,
went over the top for the Liberty
Loan. It wasn’t even necessary to j
made a drive in Auvergne.”
Following the reproduction of the I
article, the Democrat commented as
follows:
“Hais off to the people of Au
vergne and God bless them! The
story of how these loyal people, in
their straightforward, whole-souled
way, came forward to support their
country without having to be urged
m.; pleaded with, and without any
accompaniments of music or oratory,
deserves a chapter in Arkansas and
American history. All Liberty Bond
slackers should be asked to read the
little story of how Auvergne went
over the top, and if they do not then
feel like criminals, they are^ beyond
hope of redemption.”

Michelin Tests |
The Experience Test
No. 4
EXPERIENCE has a great deal to do with workmanship and quality.
In considering tires it will pay you, therefore, to inquire into the
experience of those who make them.
Michelin Invented the Pneumatic
Automobile Tire
Back in the early days of fne automobile industry, Michelin invent
ed the pneumatic automobile tire. Since that time the House of
Michelin (founded in 1832) has concentrated on the production of
pneumatic tires only, and today has factories in the United States,
France, England and Italy, with selling branches in every country
in the world. Thus the scientific brains of the entire globe have
been and are at Michelin’s disposal.
This unequalled Michelin experience is reflected not only in the
quality of Michelin Tires, but also in their price—for though Mich
elin Tires are the best that money, brains and experience can pro
1 duce, yet they are also moderate in price.
