ADJUSTMENT FOR DEFECT
THE SUNDAY OREGOIAX, POETLAXD. JTJLY 27. 1919.
GOODYEAR
WARRANTY
Policy Five Tears Ago Applied to
Passenger Car Uses Now Ex
tended to All Kinds.
A noteworthy advance in protection
of the interests of tire users is the
announcement by the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber company. Akron, O., of an un
limited guarantee on all tires made by
that company, whether pneumatic, solid
or cushion, with all tires guaranteed
perfect during their entire life, without
limitation a to mileage or length, of
service.
It was originally Goodyear"s custom
to fix a certain definite mileage guar
antee a custom still followed by many
tire manufacturers and as tires be
come better through application of
more efficient methods of manufacture,
the number of miles guaranteed gradu
ally increased.
About five years ago this company
discarded the idea, on passenger car
tires of guaranteeing c. definite num
ber of miles from each tire, and in
augurated a policy of extending an un
limited guarantee. This policy, a
pioneer one in merchandising tires, in
volved the obligation of the manufac
turer to "stand behind" the product
throughout the entire career of the
tire, no matter whether the tire's life
reached 50U0 or 50,000 miles.
Any Defect Adjusted.
All of which means that, no matter
how far a Goodyear tire has gone, if at
any time in its life t proves defective
a fair and equitable adjustment is made
to iu owner.
This liberal warranty, which has
governed pneumatic tires, is now ex
tended to cover solid i nd cushion tires
as well. For some years nearly all
makes of solid tires have been war
ranted for 7000 miles of service only.
The records of thousands of users,
however, show that Goodyear solids and
cushions are averaging greatl; in ex
cess of this figure. So that the limita
tion is now removed, permitting these
tires to be placed on the same service
basis that has been so acceptable to
users of pneumatic tires.
This policy recommends itself because
it is fair to all concerned. It gives
the careful driver and the careless one
exactly their Just dues. It tends to
make the tire user exercise proper tire
care, since upon his average mileage
depend in part the basis upon which he
can hope to obtain just reparation -if a
tire should develop a defect during its
lifetime.
Lasts Fall Life of Tire.
And it recognizes the justice of a
different basis of service adjustment
for the tire used on the rear wheel of a
heavy limousine and for that used on
the front wheel of a light roadster.
With no care or indifferent care, the
best tire cannot reasonably be expected
to give perfect service, nor can a poor
tire properly cared for give the same
service a good tire V.-111 give.
So the unlimited guarantee, which
stands for the life of the tire, has
many advantages over the practice of
guaranteeing a certain number of miles
to each customer, no matter how he
may use his tires.
The primary advantages of the Good
year unlimited guarantee are that it
lasts the full life of the tire, no matter
now many miles that period includes;
reparations are made on a reasonable
expectation of service and not on a
fixed, inflexible basis, and the tire
user is encouraged to care for his tires
properly, thereby getting a low cost
per mile of service.
MICHELIN CAMPAIGN BIG
TIRE COMPAXY DOIXG GREAT
EDUCATIONAL WORK.
Total of One Hundred Million Ads
to Be Published This Year in
United States Alone.
The Michelin Tire company is this
year carrying on one of the biggest
advertising campaigns ever conducted
by a tire manufacturer," nays R B
Bramwell. Michelin advertising man
ager. "It has always been our idea," says
Mr. Bramwell, "to make Michelin ad
vertisements educational in nature to
give the tire user actual facts about
tire construction that will enable him
to judge intelligently about the m.-it
of various makes before making the
expensive test of actual use.
"This year we have gone even fur
ther in this direction. We have had
scientist?, such as those connected with
the laboratories of Columbia university,
make exhaustive tests of Michelin tires
and of other makes. On the data ob
tained from these tests we have built a
series of advertisements.
"We figure that upwards of 100,000,
00 Michelin advertisements will be
published in the United States In 1919
alone. This is about 20 advertisements
for each passenger car owner, there
being somewhat over 6.000.000 passen
ger cars in the United States today,
not including some 200,000 commercial
vehicles.
"Because of Michelin's unparalleled
organization, covering the entire civil
ized world, our advertising is also ap
pearing in practically every other coun
try where cars are used. At head
quarters in Milltown, N". J., we keep
careful files of all the Michelin adver
tisements that appear the world over.
This is certainly an interesting ex
hibit, including, as it does, advertise
ments printed in Siamese and many
other queer languages.
"Secretary of Labor Wilson ' has
ssked all manufacturers in the United
States to increase their advertising, in
order that business may be speeded up
. and unemployment overcome as Quick
ly as possible. Michelin is doing fully
its share in this work."

the government highway, the road
winds for several miles through the
