TjlRES TAKE BIG DROP IN PRICE; FIGHT AMONG FACTORIES. V ► * Like a bolt thunder out of a clear sky was the 15 per cent price reduc­ tion on automobile*tires right ip the early stage of the season. The like was never known before. Rubber is no cheaper, fabric and labor are still at war prices. What then caused the drop? ’ One authority states that a score of small rubber companies are being fi­ nanced and small factories built. Some have merit and some have not. Ope old line company to check com­ petition suddenly announced a drop 15 per cent in prices. This will greatly cripple small con# cerns with light capital. Some idea of the.value of urbber stocks can be gained by the following: $100 share in the Original Goodrich issue is now worth $69,600; $100 share in Fire- stpne, $15,000; Goodyear, $12,900; Kelley-Springfield, $5,1^0. ♦' WHAT THE FILES SAY. 62999 CEDARVILLETO’ •'High School Commence!
