EADERSHIP is the coveted prize in every
industry, and the rubber industry is no
exception.
So it is only human that our aspiring friends
occasionally indulge in the thrill of talking about
Leadership, whether they have it or not.
We mention this in all good humor, and merely
to explain the somewhat confusing advertising
you see now and again, in which one rubber
company or another blithely forgets its definitions
and shoots the works.
The justification for such a fling is that the use of
the term Leadership in most cases is qualified,
even if obscurely, by being based on some sub
ordinate ' phase of the business in which the
advertiser claims to excel.
B
UT what's all the shootin' for is Leadership
really an important matter?
We think it is, as the most dependable indorse
ment of a product that the public can find upon
which to rely. '
When a plurality of the world's motorists, for
example, year after year singles out one make of
tire as the highest representative of value and
merit, that is tremendously important.
It affords the average buyer the finest and safest
possible guidance in his purchasing and for his
good and our own we desire to keep that guid
ance clear.
DISPENSING, then, with equivocal claims,
evasions, qualifications and adroit expres- -sion,
what company actually holds Leadership in
the rubber industry?
The public has decisively answered that question
in concrete terms of dollars and cents, and has
conferred the award upon Goodyear.
Goodyear in turn submits to you the solid facts
which support its Leadership.
It does this in no spirit of boastfulness; on the
contrary with a privileged sense of the responsi
bility which its outstanding position entails:
In both volume and value of annual sales, Goodyear
is the largest rubber company in the world.
Goodyear consumes 16 of all the crude rubber used
annually in the world approximately 50 more than
any other manufacturer.
Goodyear builds more than 14 of all the tires sold in
America, the remainder being divided among some
forty manufacturers.
For years Goodyear has factory-equipped between 14
and 13 of all the new motor cars manufactured.
Goodyear exports approximately 40 of all the tires
exported from the United States and Canada for
. other parts of the world.
Goodyear maintains the largest developmejtt labora
tories and corps of experimental engineers of any
rubber company in the world.
In the last seven years Goodyear's annual production
of pneumatic tires has increased 172, as against
an increase of approximately 7 S for the industry
as a wholei
W1,
TH special reference to tires, Goodyear
holds Leadership because: . , v
Goodyear has made more tires for motor vehicles than
any other manufacturer by millions.
Goodyear is making, today, more tires than any other
manufacturer in the world by millions.
Goodyear's tire business has increased faster in the
last five years than any other manufacturer's by
millions.
More people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any
other kind by millions. . t
THERE'S the story, good people, figure it out
for yourselves. , ,
Certainly it means that in Goodyear Tires the
'average user finds a quality and a value which he
cannot equal elsewhere.
Certainly it means that when you buy a Goodyear
Tire you buy something good enough, outstand
ingly good enough, to have won a special and
unrivalled place in the confidence of the public.
And when any other rubber company confuses
you with talk about Leadership, just treat your
self to 'a knowing grin and say: "Sure! We know
You're Napoleon!" ' ;
