Goodyear has always built co-operative tires. Every saving has gone to the user. The more men bought the better we built them, and the lower we sold them. That is why Goodyear has held top place, outselling any other tire. 3 Reductions Note that in two years we made three big price reductions. The last —on February 1st — brought the total to 45 per cent. Yet in costly ways these tires have been bettered. In not one iota were they ever skimped. Our Fortified Tire is still “On-Air” cured to save blowouts. Yet that one extra costs

us $450,000 yearly. It still has our No-Rim-Gut feature. It has in each base 126 braided piano
