but ordinarily the first cost is found to be
not greater than that of other tires; often it
is actually less.
The combination of unusual value in first
cost and very low final cost, of course, is a
result of Goodyear experience, expertness
and care employed as insistently in the
making of 30x3-, 30x3% and 31x4-inch tires
as it is in the construction of the famous
Goodyear Cord Tires used on the highest-
priced automobiles.
For this reason more cars using these small
sizes were factory-equipped last year with
Goodyear Tires than with any other kind.
Get this unusual tire value to enjoy on your
Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell, or other
small car, at the nearest Goodyear Service
Station. Get thede tires and Goodyear Heavy
Tourist Tubes at this station.

A You can do that at praeticaly
any automoble tactory.
Write to the sales manager ot aay
of the large concerns that make car
you are interested to, and state your
case.
How many more acres would you have worked
lh» year if you bad bad more time or more help?
How much would this have increased your income?
The Cletrac does even better—it gives you more
work in the same June—and with leas help.
With the Cletrac you can do your plowing an
acre an hour—instead of two acrea a day, as with
horse*.
You can do your discing, your seeding and your
packing—all at the >ama time—at the rate of more
than two acres an heur.
And you can do more than that—for at upwards
of three miles an hour the Cletrac pulverizes the ed
better and puts it in better shape to conserve
moisture and feed the growing plants.
At the Cletrac speed you can do your plow
your fitting, your seeding, your harvesting just exactly
at the time that it should be done.
And you can do it economically because the Cletrac
operates on kerosene.

TOUND for pound, the metals-used in the,
F Maxwell chassis compare favorably with those
JL in the best cars that the world has produced,
according to metallurgists.
There is a deep seated reason for this quality in s
Maxwell.
For the fundamental purpose of the Maxwell is
to carry the same passenger load over the same roads
and at the tame speeds as larger and more expensive
cars.
Its particular mission is to carry this passenger load
rx an txtrmely tcmeneieal way.
Therefore the Maxwell had to be light. But to
make it strong as well as light only the very best of
materials could be employed.
• Hence, the quality metals.
. And it was through the quality of its metals that
‘Maxwell developed its following. 4
This is a following that began five years ago
with a foundation of 5,000 and now reaches
a mark of 100,000 in 1920. oda
300,000 Maxwells now on the highways of
two continents are a daily endorsement of the KfV
merit of this great car. N
