ON GOODYEAR TYRES
THAN ON ANY OTHER MAKE
What question, can you have of tyre quality, or performance,. or service, or price, that this eloquent fact does not deci sively answer? What is it you seek in a tyre that is not also sought, and found in Goodyear Tyres in surplus measure, by the millions of Goodyear users? What mere promise, or claim for excellence, can be successfully held out to you as against this evidence of Goodyear superiority? These are not superfluous questions; some people still do not use Goodyear Tyres, and we aré frankly puzzled to know why. If you do not use them for some! resion, we will be sincerely appreciative if you will write and fell us what
that reason is.
