TESTEDg*tt<?TIRES
! f
The roads did their worst. East, west,
north and south, as the Test Car Fleets
whirled from state to state, the teeth of
the road gnawed at Goodrich Tires.
But the tires conquered with phenom*
enal mileage that doubled Goodrich's
pride. From that test covering millions of
miles, the Test Car Fleets came back with
a new tire standard, the TESTED of
Goodrich Tested Tires.
Tested Tires mean certainty of service,
proved service, and that
means a lot to a tire user.
It means long life in a tire,
and dependability on the
road, for no hidden weak-
ness could conceal itself in
that year long test of
Goodrich's Test Car Fleets.
SILVERTOWN CORDS, and BLACK
SAFETY TREADS, proved themselves
masters of the road. The spiral-wrapped,
cable-cord tire body, and the tough,
close-dutch, cross-barred black snety
tread defied the rough going.
Under light and heavy cars they proved
themselves not for one car or one driver,
cr one road, but all carsj all drivers,
all roads.
Reap the benefits of this
nation-wide victory of
Goodrich Tires, the sure *
mileage and dependability
cf a proven tire service, by
demanding tires that won
the title, “America’s Tested
Tires."

It’s easy to get into debt—and it’s hard to get out.
When temptation calls, it’s easy to take the wrong
road, painted bright by our own imaginings, and.some-
times mighty hard to steer along the straight^ and narrow
path. 1
On such occasions, CHARACTER is the compass, the
adviser that keeps us right in spite of rosy hallucinations.
And once wrong—it’s hayd to get back right.
THEN CHARACTER TELLS. Then the REAL MAN
will come out. And it is this everlasting fight, this eter-
nal effort to resist temptation, to resist wl^at is wrong,
that makes a -people strong.
It is easy to get into DEBT and hard to get out—
oftimes a task—but a task that CONSCIENCE, GOOD
BREEDING, BLOOD AND CHARACTER imposes and
demands filled. ~ \
COWARDS WILL SHIRK THE TASK. Weaklings
will seek other avenues of escape. MEN WILL FACE
THE JOB and DO IT!

. Reclaim Yourself
PRESUMING you, gentle reader, are in debt—and
sinking further and further as the days pass—are you
looking for the easier way—the DEAD BEAT ROUTE
through the bankrupt court—or have you the courage
left to face the music and pay the fiddler—ARE YOU
STILL A MAN?.
__
_
a
. z J
L .1
COWARDS SHIRK. And a shirking coward will,
:n desperation, commit every offense against society list-
ed in the category of crime. There is nothing too low
for him to do. A DEAD BEAT IS A COWARD, WHO
HAS SHIRKED HIS OBLIGATIONS, SACRIFICED HIS
HONOR—HIS NAME—AND HIS ALL for a few paltry
pennies. |^ot
ASSERT YOURSELF !
PROVE TQ THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE NOT A
COWARD as you stand accused. PROVE TO THE
WORLD THAT YOU ARE A MAN patterened after the
image of your Creator. z
RECLAIM YOURSELF; No swamp desert or work-
ed-out nook of the world ever offered a more-fertile field
for reclamation. .
A Good Name
IF your creditors are persistent—was your persis-
tency in refusing to pay that made them that way. And
the more persistent you were the more persistent they
are.
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
But they do not want to humiliate you. They do not
want you to be a DEAD BEAT. They would much rather
you have a rating above reproach than one that is a re-
proach to you.
They want to trust you with goods.
DO DEMAND SETTLEMENT.
All they ask is a square deal. They stand ready to
go out of their way to help you back upon the road of
respectability and honor.
If you are in DEBT MIRE—see them—tell them__
and they’ll meet you more than half way to help you '
lack. But you must DO SOMETHING. Don’t expect them
to draw a red line under your account and thank you for
nothing.
YOU BOUGHT—and you must PAY a hundred '
c ents on the dollar.
Yes, Tt’s hard—but great rewards come high. And
this—the greatest reward of all—A GOOD NAME__im
worth it.
