Fast starts..quick stops..long tread- wear..that's what the TOUGH, sharp edge diamond blocks in the tread of Goodyear tyres give you.
WITH ALL-WEATHER TREAD tyres on your car, you stop when the brakes go on-no sliding or skidding ... you start when you step on the throttle-no spinning or slipping.. That's because those thick, sharp-edge dia- monds of tough, stubborn tread-rubber bite deep and give traction in all directions. And this slow-wearing trond will still leave a sharp im➡ print after many thousands of miles.. Fit a full now set -of ALL-WEATHER TREAD

Nazis Hurting Italian Trade
Undercutting Methods
In The Balkans
LONDON, Aum. 14 (Reuter). Italians in Yugo-Slovis are express- ing concern at the way Germany is cutting them out of the trade markets.
Yugo-Slavin had agreed to supply Italy with 1,500 tons of copper n month, but has now been forced to promise this to Germany.
Slovakia under Nazi guidance is undercutting Italy in the Yugo-Slav markets by offering certain merchandise at 47 dinars as against 67 dinars which is Italy's lowest price.
Germany, the same Italian circles complain, never consults Italy on any economic measures she takes in the Balkans, although she is bound to do so under the 1935 agreement.
Some Italian clrcles openly state that if Germany wins this war the will turn Italy into an agricultural country just as she is planning to do with France.
