We’ll Swap
for Brand New Goodyears
New Tires—Goodyear Tires with the famous
ground gripping All-Weather Tread—are a
wise precaution for driving now.
You won’t need to sacrifice your old tires to get
new Goodyears. We’ll buy the unused miles in
them and apply this amount against the pur
chase of fresh, new equipment.
We’ll put them on—inflate them correctly—and
service them through to long and satisfactory
mileage.
Come in and let us quote you on your old tires.

on his typewriter. The ring used in
the ceremony did not fit, and was later
exchanged.
Signatures were made while the
