BADGER NEWS NOTES

La Crosse. -Sixty-nine head of
registered Guernsey cattle were sold
at the second annual public auction
at West Salem for $15,825. Only

Only Fair Basis

We consider profit margin on tire
the only fair price basis. We keep that
margin just as low as our line allows.
While we do that, Goodyear tires will
always undersell any tires That COM
pare with them. That Is because we
have the largest output We have new
factory, modernly equipped. And we
have worldwide facilities for buying
rubber, of our extra grade, at the low
est market price.
For long, long time most tires have
sold much above Goodyear prices. Some
have sold one-third higher. A few have
sold lower, as some always will. because
Of less rubber, less quality. But we can
and do, under all conditions, give more
for the money than any rival tire can
offer.
