For years the main problem con-
fronting the industry was reduction
of carbon deposits, and like mat-
ters, hut today the important prob-
lem is how to provide better lubri-
cation.
Very definite and satisfactory
progress has been made along this
line, as shown recently in mileage
tests conducted at the Indianapolis
Speedway under supervision of the
Contest Committee of the American
Automobile Association. These

The cars used in the test were
low and medium-priced autos
picked at random from the streets,
of Indianapolis. Each car was run
•150 miles with each of the four
brands of oil, the test lasting for
four days, during which time each
car covered 1,800 miles.
Oil consumption was carefully
checked by contest officials of the
A.A.A., and it was found that the
new high-mileage oil was 28.5 per
cent cheaper to use, the figure be-
ing an average based on the oil’s

Here's Something^to Think About:
% s' '
S IS
The public buys more Goodyear Tires than
any other kind—this is the eighteenth suc-
cessive year • . . The public wouldn’t buy
more Goodyear Tires if Goodyears did not
offer greater value , . . But they do offer
greater value, hence they enjoy greater
sales • . . Are you wondering what tire to
buy? Just ask yourself this simple question:
4‘Why should I buy any tire but a Goodyear
when a Goodyear costs no more?” . . . We
think you’ll decide it by coming rfcv 1* down
to see us.
