“Celebrating i t s twenty-fifth
successive year during which, bas-
ed on production and sales records,
an accurate estimate Is that more
people have ridden on its tires
than that of any other manufac-
turer, The Gi odyear Tire & Rub-
ber Co. is marking the occasion ,
with a July 4th tire sale,” said E.
D. McIntyre, local company deal-
er.
Featuring the Marathon, intro-
duced more than two years ago
and successfully proved by billions
of service miles on the road, as j
the recently announced All-Ameri-
can tire, built to reach 70 per cent
of the majority market of users.
Mr. McIntyre said that, currently
he was able to offer the Marathon ;
jin sets of two or four tires to meet
the peak market in which there
should be more replacements,
either in sets or units. < f worn out j
casings now running on the high-
ways.
“It is true, as everyone in the j
great middle class group of car
owners realizes, that tires ought to j
be replaced oftener especially in
the heat of Summer driving when
there are more cars moving on the
roads and tire failures endanger a
greater number < f persons, but
the matter of cash outlay has pre-
vented buying more than one tire
at a time,” explained Mr. McIntyre
“That is, owners could not buy the
tire of a recognized manufacturer
at a price that would permit re-
placement of two or four tires, and
the thrifty person wants to get as
i much in quality for his outlay as
he can So, when we "ffer the Mar-
athon with its highwide tread, new
roll grip non-skid and dual cord
breaker protection against bruises
and punctures, and stand back of
it with a lifetime guarantee, we
believe we are doing our part to
put good, lower-priced tires within
the reach of the majority, thus
I furthering highway safety.”
‘The new All-American, Good-
years contriDunon to tne rock-
bottom price range of tires is a
great guaranteed value for this
field,” declared Mr. McIntyre, who
urged that car owners investigate
I their own tires' safety or drive in
f< r a no-charge, no-obligation in-
spection, because he wants to con-
tinue his part in helping reduce
motoring accidents due to tire fail-
ures.
