GOODYEAR CORD
TIRES GROW IN
POPULARITY

Reports from all sections OF the
country indicate that the popular
ity Goodyear Cord Tires have en-
joyed for many years as electric
car equipment. mas been communi-
Gated strongly to the gasoline type
car field in the past few years, "
says w. A. Hazlett. manager Of the
Goodyear Detroit branch.
The first Goodyear Cord Tires.
made in 1904, were intended for cleo
trio vehicle use. and for nearly ten
years Goodyear sales activity In
Cord Tires was confined to electrics.
Latterly, however, the market for
Cord Tires for gasoline cars has
been opening up-and Goodyear ex-
perts have applied their years of
experience to the newer work.
The addition of the regular Good
year All-Weathcr Tread in this type
giving the advantage Of the ia
nous Bulldog grip on slippery
roads. has also been an important
factor. Goodyear experts declare
that Cord Tire business will grow
rapidly year by year. as the num-
Der of particular motorists continues
TO increase.
''The external distinguishing mark
is a blue stripe for the electric
Cord Tires and red stripe for the
gasoline type"

BALANCE, NOT
WEIGHT MAKES
TIRES GO FAR

What makes a tire give big mile
age? This question Is always the
go-ahead signal for warm discussion
among motorists and tire men.
Users OF tires are beginning to ask
themselves this question and are
looking for the correct answer with
increasing insistence because they
realize that It Is possible to pay for
needless materials in a tire.
AS a matter OF fact mere extra
weight OF rubber will not give extra
mileage. Neither will added layers
OF fabric necessarily add moro miles
OF service. II an over balance of
rubber is used. the carcass OF the
tire will give out long before the
tread Is worn down and the motorist
finds several pounds OF rubber on
his hands which he cannot use
and which he paid many dollars
for.
On the other hand. II extra plies
OF fabric are used In tire, they
have to be paid for, but the
tread will be gone long before the
carcass. and the money for extra
carcass is wasted.
The real, long mileage tire Is the
tire with perfect balance between
carcass. and tread so that as much
or more mileage is given as any
extra thick tire could give, without
costing the motorist so much.
Along these lines an official of
The B, F. Goodrich company makes
these interesting remarks:
Nobody picks a fat man to win a
long-distance race. II is the 1.-the,
sinewy athlete, who leads the
bunch. Goodrich tires are first
class example of this principle work
ed out scientifically. They are the
tires In which the strength of the
fabric and the toughness and resili-
ence Of the rubber tread are the
factors IN big mileage getting. Their
stripped down, athletic qualities,
conserve materials and save the mo-
torist money. both on FIRST cost and
ultimate cost. because of mileage
delivered.
In fact, extra rubber tread OF
extra fabric. or both, will not give
you extra mileage because the extra
weight makes the tire wear itself
out before II gets to the iong-mile.
age goal. This is not theory but
road-tested fact.
THE Goodrich factory has for
years adhered to the perfect bal
ance principle in tire building. which
accounts for the mileage plus econ
omy found In those tires"

He was almost past them when his
