Save 48 Per Cent

With old-type tires, statistics
show that % per cent of all
ruined tires are rim-cut.
No-Rim-Cut tires save that %
per cent, plus a large amount of
worry. For. these tires never
rim-cut.
! These tires are also 10 per
cent over the rated size. That
means 10 per cent more air-l0
per cent added carrying capac-
ity. And that, with the aver
age car. adds Is per cent to
the tire mileage.
Thus these two savings, under
average conditions, cut tire bills
right in two. Tens of thousands
of users have proved that.

We Control Them

With such a demand for tires
that can't rim-cut other makers
must attempt them, too.
But the feature which makes
this type practical is controlled
by the Goodyear patents.
Other devices won't do, for
reasons explained in our Tire
Book.
That is why this demand so
largely centers on Goodyear No
Rim-Cu tires. When you come
to this new type don't get the
wrong tire.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-24

No-Rim-Cut tires has multiplied
six times over.
And these tires outsell any
other tire.
Tires which won so many will
win you also when you try them
out.

Motor car dealers all over the country
are becoming alarmed over their con-
tinued inability to I'LL orders. This con-
dition Is not due to any inability on the
part of manufacturers TO produce enough
cars to supply the demand. but is due
directly to their being unable to pro-
cure freight cars to move their product
In.
What appeared at first to be only a
temporary delay on this account has
assumed serious proportions, due to the
uncertain condition Of the coal situa-

ments. and can be seen by the thousands
lying at various points awaiting the call

some means will be devised to expedite
shipments to this point and give our
dealers an opportunity to claim their

Things are doing in motordom these

society a generation ago would IN all

streets without the majority Of the peo-
pie knowing the difference. These are

However" he writes, II do not

allowed to do so openly. IL Is human
nature for them TO do so on the sly
