"As a force It has always existed,
but as a profession It is compare
lively modern. Like every other un-
known force 1t was first regarded
with suspicion. Not many years ago
II was held to be dishonorable to
entice a customer away from his ac-
customed place Of trading. The idea
prevailed that 1t was as unethical to
take away a mans customers as to

1t is the natural outgrowth OF

Goodyear, by adopting policy OF
aggressive advertising in the high

the largest single tire factory in the

products has become worldwide
Goodyear uses newspapers freely In
all the territory covered by its sixty.

campaign are astonishing. In no
less a degree has our advertising in
the trade journals and other period
