North Shore Women Aid in Giving Picnic for Blind The Chicago Woman's aid gave its annual picnic for the blind of Chicago Tuesday, June 12. After an automobile ride through the city parks, a picnic luncheon was served in Jackson Park and several hours of entertainment fol- lowed. The men and women were called for in automobiles and taken to their respective homes and to the In- dustrial Home for the Blind. Among the many women who gave the use of their cars, and their ser- vices, were Mrs, Maurice R. Rosen of Wilmette, Mrs. Albert Pick, Sr. and Mrs. Emanuel Hirsch, of Winnetka; and Mrs. Frank Seiden, Mrs. Harry Misch, Mrs. Ben Bowsley, Mrs. Harry Rubloff, and Mrs. Max Wolff, of Glen- coe. Mr. and Mrs. Harry R. Kern will be residents of Winnetka this summer.

Mrs. Kern's mother will also be with them during the time they are here. ¢ PRICES REDUCED on all Firestone Built TIRES 29 X 4.40-21 $ 1 05° 31 x 5.25-21 $ 1°7-4° EVER before have you had a tire-buying op- portunity like this. Prices on these four fam- ous tires have been lowest in history. Now they are further reduced--and you get the benefit of our service. Because of the complete Firestone victory over rubber restriction and the reduced prices on raw rubber that resulted, Firestone has been able to reduce prices to us and we immediately pass these lower prices on to you. Our startling reductions apply on every size of the four world-famous Firestone-built Tires, shown here. The Firestone Gum-Dipped Tire is The Tire Supreme--holding all records for speed, safety and endurance. The world's first practical low-pressure tire was the Full-Size Gum-Dipped Balloon pioneered and developed by Firestone. It was an outstanding contribution to the rapid development of the mod- WN ern fast and high powered car. No manufacturer has been able to duplicate this tire in comfort or in the amazing mileage records it established. The well-known Oldfield Tire is priced lower than any other standard tire. For over four years it was sold by the Oldfield Tire Company at prices higher than were asked for other standard brands. Firestone economy of production and distribution enables us to sell this tire at most attractive prices. In the medium-priced field, the Courier Tire and Tube are unequalled. Never before have we seen a tire built like this one--oversize, rugged--with rut-protected sidewalls--at prices far below many unknown, untried brands. The Airway is offered to the owners of light cars at a price that cannot be duplicated anywhere. These Firestone-built Tires serve every purse and purpose. Back of every tire we sell stands our service-giving organization and full value is assured. 1905 0 (G (AX HE 0) ((E OLDFIELD COURIER AIRWAY 29 X 4.40-21 sg-4° 31 xX 5.25-21 $ 1 42° $&7-15 31 xX 5.25-21 $1 15° 29 X 4.40-21 $5.95 OTHER SIZES PRICED PROPORTIONATELY LOW We Save You Money and Serve You Better Johnson Motor Service Complete Auto Service 806 Oak Street Tel.
