a safety campaign launched by
the ' Goodrich Silvertown stores
at 198 South. Commercial street.
"Unlike people, tires need
ample covering in hot weather,
Thin, worn tires encourage
blowouts caused from heat gen
erated within the tire," declared
Walter Zosel, manager of the
Goodrich Sllrertown stores.
Blowout dsngers are reduced
by two achievements In tire
manufacture developed by Good
rich engineers, " he pointed out.
One is the famous . Goodrich
Silvertown tire with the. Life
Saver Golden Ply which reduces
the hazard of blowouts.
The ' other Is the - Seal-o-matle
tube which gives protection
against flat' tires caused by
nails, screws and glass, closing
breaks caused by such objects
Instantly, he said.
