DUE TO QUICK ACTION

Early in August-when war began
the worlds rubber markets seemed
closed to us. Rubber prices doubled al
most over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rub
ber 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 be-
fore the war, and this is how we did it.
We had men in London and Singapore
when the war broke out. The larger
part of the worlds rubber supply comes
through there. We cabled them to buy
up the pick of the rubber. They bought
before the advance, 100000 pounds
of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to
us. And it means practically all Of the
extra grade rubber obtainable abroad.

Tires at
Before-War Prices

Today we have our own men in
Colombo, Singapore and Para. Those
are the worlds chief sources of rubber
So we are pretty well assured of con-
slant supply, and our pick of the best
that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were
quickest in action. As result, we snail
soon have in storage ap almost record
suppy of this extra grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
NOW INFERIOR GRADES COST
DOUBLE.
About the only crude rubber available
now for many makers is inferior. In
ordinary times, the best tire makers re-
fuse 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 Tire
dom-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
dealers 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 below
other tires.
