The hardest part of the jaunt was encoun tered on May 20, when it took him 10 hours to go 64 miles. Along with H. A TV llliamson, who was driving through Eastern Oregon, he was forced to go through from four to six feet of snow and it was all they could do to make it.

Only THE STRONG, THE BEST, survive the TEST. As true of TIRES as of cave men. Goodrich Black Safety Treads are the FIT fabric tires that have survived the relentless TEST of the Goodrich Test Car Fleet. To produce them hundreds of tires have been worn to the quick over ftnnuw ui jucj oi ine worst roaas oi America. Goodrich never sells you an experiment. Be it a Goodrich rubber mat, a garden hose, or a Goodrich tire, it must prove itself by wear and tear test worthy of thS. Goodrich name. A cruel test of tires that test of Goodrich's Test Car Fleets. Tested The Country Over Six corps of heavy cars, light cars, hard running cars take Goodrich Tires and maul their MERIT against teeth of sand, rock, arid gravel. Two sets of drivers, speeding them sixteen hours a day, hammer them week after week on the anvil of the road. j Wherever climate and roads can test and tell something about tires, a Goodrich Test' Car Fleet is grinding the TRUTH out of Goodrich tires. While the A t lantic Fleet crunches through the hills and valleys of New York and New England, -the Pacific Fleet hammers the granite highways of the Western coast. 4 While the Dixie Fleet braves the sun of the South, the Lake Flset ploughs the sand stretches of Minnesota. While the Prairie Fleet scours the roads around Kansas City, the Mountain Flee t battles the rocky trails of Yellowstone and Glacier Parks. f Throughout miles of roughing it, which run into millions, over roads which cross-hatch the map of the United States, Goodrich learns the TESTED VIRTUES of its tires. Thus it settles the durability and resilience of the UNIT MOLDED TIRE the unbroken curing Goodrich has always maintained was the BEST ' construction for fabric tires. Thus it settles the wearing strength of Black Tread, the toughest rubber known. f' ALL THIS IS THE BEST IN TIRES BECAUSE IT HAS SURVIVED THE TEST. Ford Car Tires of Heroic Size GOODRICH'Three-geyenty-Rve The tire sensation of 1917, made exclusively ty Gcwdrich, designed expressly for Ford Cars, is a burly tire, 31 a Zii fax-, built in Safety Tread only, to fit 30-incl. rims.
