“One
Man’s Meat is Another
Man’s Poison”
Saute way with tirea. The man who drives a
car hard, fast and far over all aorta ot roads
needs different tires than the man who driven
the same kind of car slower and more care*
fully. The man who will soon trade in his car
ran use tirea that it wouldn’t be economy to
buy if he intended to keep it longer.
As tire specialists, it’s our job to "take yoef
measure” for tires and “fit you out” with the
type and .kind thnt your need1* really require.
\Ve ran do this because Goodyear builds a
complete line of different types. We give you
honest advice. When a low-price Goodyear
will do for yon, we recommend it. But if you
really should have something better-—or the
best.—we'll tell you.
Millions More People Rule On
Tires Than On Any Other Kind
FINER THAN EVER-LOWER PRICED
Goodyear, though already building millions
more tirea than any other com pan j, last year
allowed a greater gain in sales than all the tire
makers combined. The result is reflected ta
stiU finer quality at lower prices—the greatest j
values la tire history!
And, with our vear-round helpful service In-
cluded. the combination is aa unbeatable bar-
gain for yea.
