Method of Placing on the

In Detroit Plant
PORTION OF PROCESS
REMAINS SECRET

The remarkable finish OF the all
steel bodies OF Dodge Brothers motor
cars is always the subject Of admira-
tion where motor enthusiasts gather
for comparisons and this has led to
many conjectures as to how the finish
is applied.
The department in which the bodies
are enameled in the plant Of Dodge
Brothers at Detroit was developed
within the plant and a portion Of the
process is secret.
The steel bodies are carefully pre-
pared for the reception OF the enamel,
which is applied in a manner devel-
oped in the plant. and are then con-
veyed through a battery Of ovens ap.
proximately 1000 feet long by double
chain system.

I'VE arc now carrying TO motorists
a campaign showing how care is quite
as necessary in buying tubes as in.

Secretary. The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Co.. Akron. o.
1--WE realize that a motorist who has
bought and used proiitably one Good
year product. will turn naturally to
Goodyear for other products of the
company's manufacture. Our aim is
TO get motorists to ask for tubes by
name. just as they ask for tires by
name. Il is a matter of pride with us
that the quality OF one compliments
the other Both are as perfect as good
materials and skilled workmanship
can make them.
1--WE are building our tubes by the
laminated process. that is, they are
built up layer upon layer OF pure gum
The rubber is first rolled out into thin
sheets so that any flaws can be read
lily seen. Then these sheets are wrap.
ped together and vulcanized into one
solid rubber tube Tubes built Of on
piece Of rubber often contain flaws
which are not detected. Each sheet ol
rubber that goes into a Goodyear tube
is inspected most carefully. Thus the
tubes are not strong in one place ant
weak in another, but strong al
through
"At the weakest point Of many tubes
the valve patch-our tubes show un'
usual strength. We make the valve
patch an integral part Of the tube
This makes it leaf proof.
