All advances due to doubled cost of rubber are
withdrawn today on Goodyear Tires; this applies
to dealers and consumers.
We have secured from abroad sufficient rub
ber at former prices to warrant this announce
ment. Effective everywhere today Goodyear prices
are the same as they were before the war.
Which Will You Take?
Tires
At Extra Prices
Nowadays, 16 makes of tires are costing more than (ood
yenr price.
Some makes cost one-third more.
One-third more than No-Kim -Cut tires the world's top-place
tires the tires that out-sell any other.
Consider what that means. ;
It means $3 to $15 extra on each tire you buy. It means one
third more tire up-keep unless they are better tire?.
It means that three of the extra-price tires vst as much as
four No-Rim-Cuts.
If means that the same price or less would buy a half-inch
wider Goodyear.
Extra prices are unjust.
No man knows of any wav to build better tires
than Ooodyears. "We pcnd $100,0.0 yearly iu our
efforts to find u way.
In the four ways listed at the right no other tire
equals the Goodyear.
Men have bought four million
Goodyears. They have tried them out.
As a result, they buy more of them
than of any other tire.
That any tire can be worth one
third more is simply unthinkable.
ires ,
With Extra Features
In No-Rim-Cut tires at Goodyear prices we give you thes'
four extra features. Not another tire at any price offers you any
one of them : :
The No-Rim-Cut feature the one faultless way to eud rim
cutting. It completely wipes out the greatest source of tire ruin.
Our "On-Air" cure an extra cure, under road conditions, to
save the blow-outs due to wrinkled fabrics This one exclusive
process cost us $1,000 per day.
Our rubber rivets formed in each tire by a patent method to
combat tread separation. They reduce this danger by GO per cent.
Our All-Weather tread the tough, double-thick anti-skid.
The only anti-skids which run as smoothly as plain treads. The
anti-skids with deep, sharp, bulldog grips.

Those are costly features. On their account
No-ffiim-C'ut tires used to be the high-priced tires.
