Tires at Before-War Prices

Goodyear Prices It Is Folly Today to Pay More 30 x 3 Plain Tread $11.70 30 x 3J/ 2 Plain Tread ....$15.75 34 x 4 Plain Tread $24.35 36 x 4!/ 2 Plain Tread ....$35.00 37 x 5 Plain Tread $41.95 There exists now a new, compelling reason for buying Goodyear tires. It results from War conditions. These leading tires—built of extrafine rubber, in the s ame way as always—are selling today at June prices. You will find today a very wide difference between most tire prices and Goodyears. DUE TO QUICK ACTION Early in August— when war began —the world’s rubber markets seemed closed to us. Rubber prices doubled almost over night. Men could see no way to nay for rubber abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like others— in that panic —were forced to higher prices. But we have since gone back to prices we charged before the war. and this is how we did it: We had men in London and Singapore when the war broke out. The larger part of the world's rubber supply comes through there. We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rubber. They bought—before the advance—l,soo,ooo pounds of the finest rubber there. Nearly all this is now on the way to us. And it means practically all of the extra-grade rubber obtainable abroad.

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY, Akron, Ohio

Today we have our own men in Colombo, Singapore and Para. Those are the world’s chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well assured of a constant supply, and our pick of the best that’s produced. We were first on the ground. We were quickest in action. As a result, we shall soon have in storage an almost record supply of'this extra grade of rubber. An we paid about June prices. NOW INFERIOR GRADES COST DOUBLE About the only crude rubber available now for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times, the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had been rejected. But that “ocrubber” now sells for much more than we paid for the best. The results are these: Tire prices in general are far in advance of Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of supplies, will be forced to use second-grade rubber. BE CAREFUL NOW In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade tire as always. And tiiat grade won for Goodyears the top place in Tiredom—th® largest sale in the world. And, for the time being, our prices are the same as before the war. We shall try to keep them there. We accept no excessive orders, hut dealers will be kept supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, only ante-bellum prices. That means that Goodyears—the best tires built—are selling way below other tires.
