I ‘Why Should I Buy I IA Goodyear Tire? j I Come into our store and ask this question, man to I I man: “Why should I buy your tire?” You won’t g I need to ask another. I I 9 All we want, whether you buy or not, is an op- I 9 portunity to explain why the Goodyear is I i called The World’s Greatest Tire. I figgs . 1 Here s why: 1 , *1 Its sturdy carcass is made of Supertwist, which means fewer ^ JL fabric failures and less tire changes on the road. | sy Its new design of tread gives the best traction and car control H ever afforded by an automobile tire. r ^ Its tenacious ability to grip the road gives the greatest possible % i O degree of safety. w m 4 Increased area °f roa(l contact and added All-Weather blocks H * insure slow, even tread wear and greater satisfaction to the user. If ? C Quietness and smooth running are also made certain by the new’ w tread. This new Goodyear is admittedly the World’s Most v Beautiful Tire. *|j J| The best proof of all this is the tire itself.
