Better Traction Longer Wear
The-new Goodyears with the new style All Weather tread offer the
last word in a tire that will grip the road under all conditions and at
the same time tfive long even year. The famous all weather diamond
treads arc now placed in the center of the tire where they come in direct
contact with the road. This assures a surface that will prevent skid
ding. Uneven cup wear has been eliminated by this new placing of the
ribs and diamond blocks. We can truthfully say that Goodyears are
hotter than ever. Mileage attained by many local car owners is con
vincing proof of Goodyear's superiority. You will make no mistake in
joining the throng of satisfied Goodyear users. A type for every car
'and every purse.
