HEN you stop to think that this company has been merchandising truck and passenger car tires for more than a decade here in Los Angeles, you begin to realize that it is unnecessary for you to look further for tires or for tire service.

Our two convenient locations have many obvious advantages that emphasize the fact that LosAngeles made Goodyears should be the logical choice of those operators whose trucks and passenger cars are engaged in the Los Angeles lumber trade.

Three Hundred Million Dollars

Hi has spoken throughout the country before churches,.lodges, cluhs, etc., and everywhere has'created a splendid inierest.

TERM "FIRE PROOF'' IS TABOO

It has been contended for years by qualified engineers that there is no such thine in commdn residential building practice as "fire-proof" con"struction. No doubt many thouiands of Ameriian families are today living in so-called "fire-proof" homes under the delusion that- they- are immutrd to the hazards of fire. Such stress has been laid upon the "fire-proof" quality of certain building materials, that the Committee on Buiidine Constrttction Specifications for Private Residences of the-National Fire Protection Association, has made the following notation in its reient report: ' "The use of the term 'Fireproof is recommended to be discontinued. This general term has been erroneously apolied to buildines ani materials of a more or less fire-resisiin. ot incombistible nature. Its indiscriminate use has produced much misunderstanding and has often engendered i feeling of security entirely unwarranted."

The t-erm "fire-r6sistive"-mav be applied to any standard building material when correctly used' The fact that the materia'i itself is incombustible does not mean necessarily that a structure of which it is the major part is fire-proof or fire safe. The arrangement and protective features of construction are of paramount importance. 4ty construciion which will pass^a fire test rnade in accordance with the tentative specihcations of the Amenfan Pngineefing Standards Cbmmittee for Fire Tests of Materials and Construction is "fire-resistive," whether of stone, steel, concrete, lumber, or brick.

Deny Report Of Dissolution

Officials of the Los Angeles Lumber Products Company have denied the recent report that the plant at Wilmington was to be permanently closed, and the company disbanded. It is stated that the shut down is but temporary, and that operations will be resumed soon.
