break of war in Europe has brought this
fact into particular prominence by de

Of war, practically all of the ears sold IN
South America have been of American
construction. II is declared that al
though the closing Of the English fac

was simply a matter of comparatively

Every third car manufactured in

announcement is made by the Good

careful analysis Of the situation.
More new cars will be equipped with
Goodycars in 1915 than with any
other make.
Manufacturers estimate that about
$4,000 cars will be produced within
the next year." says SalesmanGgor G.
NJ. Stadelman. "This number in
cludog gasoline and electric pleasure
cars and light commercial cars equip
ped with pneumatic tires Approx
mately 205.0O0 will start their careers
on Goodyear Tiros--cloee to a million
tires being required for this phase
of the company's business alone.
More than halls this number of
cars will use 'No-Rim Cuts exclusive
ly. Indeed. practically all of them
will be equipped with rims that will
permit the use Of no otLer tire. Over
$4,000 new cars will display the
famous Goodyear All-leather Tread

--an added refinement not only from
the standpoint Of appearance. but OF
utility as well.
Competition for this factory busi-

as a fine tribute to Goodyear quality
and prestige that from so many diff
ferent makes one tire should be Sc.
lected to equip so large part OF
Americas new cars. To us IT indl.
