The New OREGON STATESMAN. Safep. Oregon. Sunday Morning. March 17. 1929 L"EIV RECOflD SET BV COHEi III 1928 Sales Volume up $28,000, 000 Despite Lower Pric es on Finished Tire ""Probably the best possible ar- ldenee of toe wide popularity of GooSyear tires and other product was tlTea Jn the 1528 statement . of earnings Just made and which 'shows that the Goodyear company et a aew record in sales volume. according to .Frank Doollttle, lo cal Goodyear dealer at 294 North Commercial street. The report showed an increase In total unit sales of tires r6f 32 per cent over 1927 and sales amounted to $250,7(9,209. an In crease of $28,590,669 over the pre- tIous year, notwithstanding the lower selling prices prevailing In 1928 and large losses Incurred by the Industry generally due to the drastic drop in crude rubber dur ing the first half of the year." Institute- to Goodyear "This unusual record," accord ing to Mr. Doollttle, 'is In the last analysis, a tribute of faith in ' Goodyear -products by the motor lag public of America and the world. It proves that more people prefer Goodyear tires than any other kind." ' He called attention td the fact, brought out In the company's re port to stockholders, that tire prices are now lower than aver before in the history of the indus try, being SO per cent below 1914 and 1919-20 prices, while mileages have steadily increased. - PIONEER PASSES .
