It costs no more to buy Goodyears; it costs
less to ride on them....why not buy the kind
that are first choice with the public? Building
millions more tires than any other company
enables Goodyear to give the greatest value.
Today's new Goodyears are here....all sizes,all
types at low 193! prices.
The famous Goodyear All-Weather Tread is
superior in traction. Note how the deep-cut tight-grip-
ping blocks are placed in the center of the tread, where
they belong. Press the palm of your hand upon this
tread and fee! how the blocks grip and pinch the flesh.
This illustrates the All-Weather Tread's holdfast action
on pavement or road.
The patented Goodyear Supertwist Cord Car-
cass is superior in vitality and long life. Under continued
flexing or sudden road shock, where ordinary cords fa-
tigue or snap, the extra-elastic Super-Twist Cords
stretch and recover, like rubber bands. .
