GOODRICH SPREADS JOY
ALL AROUND.

owners of pleasure cars and motor
trucks will welcome the joyous tidings
from Akron, o. The Goodrich Tire COM
pany is responsible for the joy. Its new
price announcement, coming as it does
from so dominant factor in the tire
field, has led to speculation as to wheth-
er other tire companies will follow the
Goodrich lead.
mo explanation or reasonss why are
given in this announcement" said prom
inent tire man. But with crude rubber
selling at somewhat lower figure than
that prevailing for year or more past,
and the constant devising and applca-
ton OF new higher efficiency methods of
tire manufacture, the reduced Goodrich
tire prices are but a natural outcome.
This instance shows the willingness of
great corporation to give the buying
public the benefits derived from changed
and improved conditions,
I'VE understand that the reduction bet
tiers the present price to the user by 8
per cent. This, coupled with the reduc-
tion first put into effect by the same
company nearly a year ago, enables the
purchase OF tires by the user now at Il
material saving over prices prevailing
prior to April of last year.
Mr.. r. c. Tibbitts advertising man
ager of the b. r. Goodrich company,
states: Our factories at Akron have not
been hurt or interfered with by the flood,
while other factories there have been
less fortunate. The Goodrich plants are
working to the full capacity night and
day. Many workmen from other cities
have been attracted to Akron because of
the published reports of testimony of
Mr.. Il. G.. Shaw, vice president of the
Goodrich company before the senate COM
nittee investigating. conditions at Akron.
showing that workrnen at the Goodrich
plants receive higher average of COM
pensation than in other cities through
out the country.
our announcement of a reduction in
prices for tires to the user, made this
week, shows also the great advantage to
the public in a company with such great
facilities. year ago we led in an
nouncing lower prices for tires. This
year. because of lower prices for rub
Der, and increased manufacturing eff
cheney, We were able to announce still
another reduction, carrying out our poll
icy of giving real public service, and
giving the tire user the benefit of our
savings in manufacturing cost
