Water In a June 19 story with the headline "BridgestoneFirestone leaves Akron," The Associated Press misstated sales figures for BridgestoneFirestone, Goodyear and Michelin. In 1989, according to the trade newspaper Tire Business, BridgestoneFirestone had $2.32 billion in sales, while Goodyear sales totaled about $3.5 billion and Michelin had sales of about $2.1 billion.

The original story erroneously listed those figures as tires sold in 1990. The Herald Review strives for accuracy. Readers who think an error has been published are encouraged to call the Herald Review at 429 5151. When an error is found, a correction will be published. If? DECATUR DRUG CO.

The Atlantic, running as a casino, went down on Aug. 20, 1852, after colliding with a freighter near Buffalo, N.Y. The Phillips submarine sank during an 1853 attempt to locate the steamer. The 266-foot Atlantic, with 35-foot diameter paddle wheels, was located by Mar Dive Corp.

of California in the summer of 1989. As much as $60 million in gold could be aboard the ship, Mar Dive's Chuck Highbaugh said. "Largest Inventory of Monuments and Markers In Central III. Full Size Monument Lettered and Gray Granite Effingham Office 401 N. Keller Dr.
