HE TEACHES TYRES

NOT TO SKID

THE famous tread-design of Goodyear tyres is much more than a neat, handsome arrange- ment of sharp diamond blocks of stubborn rubber.

It's the safest tread-design in all the world!

That design didn't just happen. It's the result of hundreds of ex- periments and depends upon such things as the size and shape of the spaces, riding ribs, and dia- mond blocks in Goodyear's sure- gripping tread.

Safety, long-wear, and sure trac- tion are the first consideration of the scientists and engineers who work in Goodyear's laboratories -the finest rubber development laboratories in the world.

Not until a new tyre satisfies all these requirements can it earn that little blue and yellow flag that you see on the sidewall of every Goodyear tyre.

No matter which Goodyear tyre you select, you got the most for your money at the price you pay. Fit a full set of new, Goodyears now and join the happy milliona who always choose Goodyears.
