BLACIC SAFETY TREAD TIRE8

"Bring back any Goodrich Black Safety Trtad Tint you feel
have not given you the right lerufce." Thus ran our 1917 mes
sage to the world.
If there were such tires we wanted them back and we
said so as emphatically as we could say itparticularly
to the owners of Ford automobfles.
From the thousands of Ford Sin Goodrich Tires sold we, had .a
. right to expect a certain number of tires to come back.
Our tires have come back loaded with a surprise.
Read this letter from your town that cams with a
