Here’s Maximum Protection
Against Skidding!
No tire made offers positive anti-skid protection—but
GOODYEARS, with the famous ALL-WEATHER
TREAD offer the greatest possible degree of protec-
tion because this tread is scientifically designed to re-
sist skidding in all directions.
TIRE REPAIRING THAT PAYS
You know we would be out of business in a month if
we didn’t sell the same folks over and over again. It’s
this repeat business that accounts for our growth
from year to year.
Why do they come back?
Because they know that our repairs stand up—that
our work is neat—that our material is the best—that
our prices are right—that they get their money’s
worth—they're satisfied.
We can satisfy you, too. Bring in your next tire and
wel’ll show you how to bring down your tire bills.
