Smashing Arguments
Why You Should Use
Goodrich Tires?
The fact tnnt practically half the
1018 output of new automobiles is
equipped by the makers with Good
rich Tires strengthens your own
decision with the judgment of auto
mobile manufacturers,
They know what tire is best, and
they select Goodrich Tires for the
service and riding advantage they
give a car manufacturer's prefer
ence based as it is in many instances
on 10 years uninterrupted profitable
use of Goodrich Tires.
Goodrich Tires have stood np to
their work in fair and foul weather,
winter and summer, on country roads
and city pavements, on tours and
in endurance contest.
Year by year the sales of Goodrich
Tires have increased.
Year by year the reputation of
Goodrich Tires with car manufac
turers and tiro users has grown
stronger.
Today Goodrich Tires are by a
largo majority the most popular with
the motoring public.
Last year we could not mako
enough Goodrich Tires to meet tho
demand for them. This year wo
have vastly greater facilities for pro
ducing more Goodrich Tires, and
this without cheapening their con
struction or hurrying their mnnufac-

Tires has never been increased
the cost of quality.
It is because of the fact that alt
Goodrich Tires are of inly an kind
and quality that this continuous
growth in popularity, sales, and sat
isfaction can bo recorded.
The Goodrich principle ot nnlt
tnolding unchanged since wo made
the original American Clincher Tire
"is one of the reasons for tho long,
uniform wear, and consistently satis
factory service of Goodrich Tires.
The extra layer of pnro robber
on the sides, where tho wear and
strain is heaviest, prevents blowouts
and insures freedom from rim
troubles.
The thick, tough' Goodrich tread,
being of the tire and not simply put
tn it, naturally does -not strip or peel
from the body.
Your dealer will oupply you with
whatever style of Goodrich Tiro fa
best for your needs.( We will send
you frti our set of folders, telling
you how to get the most and best
tiro service, and how to avoid the
common tire injuries.
