We sought to obtain friendship by deserving it By building into our product downright worth fertile ground for confidence and respect, the very seeds of friendship. We won friends to Goodyear won them in prodi gious numbers. But our purpose continued unchanged, for holding friends is as important as winning them. If you will look at a Goodyear tire, a Goodyear tube, or any of the Goodyear accessories, and learn what they mean in quality, in value, in service, you will readily understand why the friends who came to us in the early days arc with us still. If you will try a Goodyear tire on your carf you will understand why these friends were joined by other friends month after month, year upon year, until the Goodyear clientele became the largest single group of tire-buyers in the world. If you will consider the growth of this business, you will realize the stupendous power of the good word spoken man to man, of the enthusiastic comment, of friendliness. And you realize, too, wiry we spend upon our prod uct so much of effort and of money to encourage the good word, to foster such friendliness "a matter of 'dealing with friends."
