High In Quality
Low In Cost
Motorists are beginning to learn there's a big differ
ence in tires, although they all look pretty much alike.
Some are made with skimp, short staple cotton. Some
have an overdose of "filler" in the rubber of the tread,
Some are long on looks and short on quality. -
But you won't need a microscope to be sure that tlie
Goodyear Tire you get from us is a real buy. Good
year mileages tell the story.
Goodyears are performing " so satisfactorily for our
customers, that they invariably come back not with
a kick, but with a boost, and for another Goodyear
when they need tire equipment
