They are bigger, heavier and stronger today than
any earlier Goodyears ever were.
Yet Goodyear prices »re lower now th*n ever.
Not even in those remembered days before the war
did Goodyear Tires sell at such low price» as today.
Look at the figures listed below.
They represent an average decrease of i
60% from Goodyear prices of 1910.
When you can get these better Goodyears at t
prices, there is no question of the tire value at j

Your Goodyear Service Station Dealer will tell j
that never in his experience as a tire dealer has he
known the equal of this value. See him today.
