Gillette Safety Razor Company, Boston 6, Mass. Even at high speeds these new tires OUTWEAR PREWAR TIRES It’s the new B. F. Goodrich tire for passenger cars TS aew B. F. Goodrich tire is ade from synthetic rubber, but it is noc a “wartime” tire. It has passed nearly 17 million miles of tests...on taxi fleets...on police cars (like the one above) and on the B. F. Goodrich test fleet. ‘Many of the tests required con stant running, day and night, at sixty miles an hour, Few, if any, drivers are ever going to ask this kind of wear of a tire. ‘Yet the new B. F. Goodrich synthetics not only outlasted pre- war tires—but they did better than new tires of nacural rubber built FEBRUARY 1946 to prewar specifications! ‘These tires are made from a new kind of synthetic rubber that runs cooler, wears better, than other types. The tread is’ made wider and flatter so that the tread wear is distributed over more tire surface. The tire body, or carcass, is stronger, too! By using a newkind ofstrongercord—and byusing more cords in each tire, B. F. Goodrich has perfected a stronger tire body. B. F. Goodrich started making synthetic tires 18 months before Pearl Harbor, and offered tires con- taining synthetic rubber to Amer- ican motorists three years ahead of any other tire manufacturer. ‘They were the first such tires ever sold America, This extra experience is reflected in the best tire for your car today...

Upon their right use—or the neglect of them—the success or failure of every human enterprise depends. Have you a desire, something you wish to ac- complish in life? Put your finger on a dot. In whatever direction you move your finger from the dot, you have made a beginning. Thus a dot is the symbol of one—or a beginning. Your desire then also symbolized by one. If you follow the proper ethod or way to accomplish what you want, you have arrived at point two, Whenever these two symbols are brought together—the idea and the right way—you produce point three—the success of your plan. Success, therefore, is symbolized by the three equal sides of a triangle, Jn planning your personal affairs—business, do- mestic, or the welfare of your family—do you use a Cosmic formula? Do you determine whether your acts are in accord with Divine truths etecnally expressed in symbols? Why does the circle represent completion? Why is it said that a man is on the square?

BECOME an ACCOUNTANT TFyon are doing the “chore” work of account- ing as a bookkeeper, ledger clerk, cost clerk, billing clerk, or in one of the other many record keeping jobs— __ You should consider climbing higher—becom- ing an accountant, Why be satisfied all your life with a small salary and an ordinary job when there is such a large future for the man or woman who under- stands accountancy in all its forms and phases? One big difference between you and the suc- cessful accountant is that he doesn’t do the chores. He bosses those who do the drudgery and he gets the money and prestige. And he does that because he knows the principles behind the rec- ords you keep—can plan those records and in- terpret them to management. He knows what you know—and a lot more. There are two ways in which you can get this knowledge which will qualify you for an account. ant’s position, First—the old way of day-by-day experience on the job. This is the long route—taking many, many years, sometimes a lifetime. Most people taking this way never get anywhere. Why sacri- fice years of success—lose time and money—when there is a better and easier way? Second, the LaSalle way of learning in your spare time—studying and preparing for the step ahead. You learn by doing—you study account- ing principles and solve accounting problems. You cover accountancy from the basic principles right up through Accounting Systems and Income Tax Procedure—C.P.A, training if you so desire. FEBRUARY 1946 Are YOU doing bookkeeping “chores”?

Because manufacturers everywhere, in striving to keep ahead of competition, are locking for new inventions and buying up the patent rights thereon so that they will have better and more atractive items to make and sell. Hence, the wise thing for you to do is also to act at once. Protect your invention—and yourself—by applying for a patent now. FREE “PATENT GUIDE” EXPLAINS WHAT TO DO Our Free 48 page “Patent Guide for the Inventor”, containing complete information about patent procedure and selling inventions, answers many important questions concerning Patents that inventors constantly ask. It tells what facts, details, drawings, sketches, ct, are necessary to apply for a Patent; how to protect your invention through dated and Witnessed disclosure; how to do this at once to safeguard your rights; how Patent Office Records can be checked to determine whether the invention is probably patentable before filing fees need be paid; discusses costs involved and a practical way these can be paid as the application progresses. It tells how some inventors secured financial backing; how many simple inventions have proved large commercial successes; how Patents covering improvements also can be profitably utilized and marketed; and countless other facts that every inventor will want to know. And in addition, our “Patent Guide” contains illustra- tions of over 150 basic mechanical movements. WHY YOU NEED EXPERT ASSISTANCE The Patent Laws were enacted for your benefi of your inyention which are Patentable, But these features must be legally and concisely set_forth in the form of “claims”. This phase of the procedure is so complex that the U.S. Patent Office advises the Inventor to engage a competent Registered Patent At- torney.
