We have had many hard blows

the extra-grade rubber obtainable
abroad.
Today we have our own men in Col
ombo, Singapore and Para. Those
are the worlds chief sources Of rub
ber. SO we are pretty we'll assured
of constant supply, and our pick OF
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We
were quickest in action. AS result,
we shall soon have in storage an al
most record supply of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double.
About the only crude rubber avalla-
BILE now for many manufacturers is
inferior. In ordinary times, the best
tire makers refuse it. Much Of it had
been rejected. But that "off. rubber"
now sells for much more than we paid
for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in ad-
vance of Goodyears. And many tire
makers, short of supplies, will be
forced to use second-grade rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Goodyears we pledge you the
same-grade tire as always. And that
grade won for Goodyears the top
place in Tiredom-the largest sale in
the world.
And, for the time being, our prices
are the same as before the war. We
shall try to keep them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but
1ealers will be kept supplied. And
we charge them, until further notice,
only ante-bellum prices.
That means that GOOdyears-the
best tires built-are selling way be-
low other tires.

These leading tires-bullt OF extra

prices.
You will find today very wide
difference between most tire prices
and GOOdyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began
the worlds rubber markets seemed
closed to us. Rubber prices doubled
almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay Tor
rubber abroad, and no way to bring
it in. We, like others-in that panic
were forced to higher prices. But
we have since gone back to prices we
charged before the war, and this is
how we did it
We had men in London and Singa-
pore when the war broke out. The
larger part of the worlds rubber
supply comes through there. We ca
bled them to buy up the pick of the
rubber. They bought-before the
advance-1,5 100000 pounds of the
finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way
to us. And it means practically all of
