Remember This

A few years ago, three other
tires - combined - outsold the
Goodyears by 70 times over.
From that point Goodycars
have quickly jumped to the top
most place in Tiredom.
And last years sales by far
exceeded our previous II years
put together.
This has been done in this
day of odonleters, when men
keep track of tire mileage.
And today's position comes
when men have used two mill
lion Goodyear tires.
Can't you see that No-Rim-
Cut tires, in some way, must
give amazing mileage!

stocking are held up. There has not
been a time since the tendency OF the
Wilson bill when the customs houses
we're doing so little business. This Is
contracting credits and slowing up all

Another cause for contracting credit
is the promise Of currency legislation.
The banking system is likely to be

hauling will be requirement in
the law compelling bankers to

effect on the national banks and on
the large speculative banks OF these
cities Is already felt In anticipation.
Bankers are holding up large loans to
find what their available assets are to

are interested. 1t Is felt that restric-
tive legislation will fall more heavily
en- them than on state banks or trust
companies. which already have be-
come vigorous competitors OF the ma
tional banks.
Another contributing cause to the
financial situation is the foreign
money market which was sharply con-
tracted by the demand for money to
tinance the Balkan war. Many Amer

Bank deposits on the whole are
