Housewives say "thanks” for the
recent reduction in the cost of
their electric service and in the same
breath ask "how can you do N in
the face of higher coats?”
That it a logical question. Facts
are that housewives like to use
electric service - and have been
uaing it in increasing quantities.
The increased volume of business,
together with savings resulting
from technical progress and lower
coau of capital have enabled us to
make the reduction.
Jp return we say "thank* for your
increased use" - electric service it
one of the few items in the hmnr
hold budget which costs km than
before the war.

OUTWEAR PREWAR TIRES
A taxicab is a machine to get you places... and
translates miles into money. Delays are costly! ...
That's why taxi drivers are so fussy about their tires.
Before a F. Goodrich offered the new Silvertown
tire to the public, over 17 million miles of tests were
run on taxi fleets, police cars, and oo the B. F. Good-
rich test fleet. From these tests, came proof that the
new B. F. Goodrich Silvertown was a superior tire
that outperformed, outran, outlasted, and outworn
prewar tires — even at high speeds.
How? The tread itself was broader, flatter... cov-
ered more road surface... reduced the wear at any
LiOrm »ibMi B.F.Goodritb radio mm "Drttti md CoUref
one point. To hold this tread, a better cord was used
and by using more cords per tire, a stronger tire
body was perfected.
Supplies of this new tire are still limited. However,
we’li do our best to keep your car roiling until we
can get new tires for you.
