For the Good of Your Castings
Buy Goodyear Tubes

THE slow leak is the most dangerous enemy Of
your tires.
Dangerous because nconspicuous and insidious.
A puncture soon is fixed and the tire is as good
as before.
But poor tubes will leak air slowly and-before
you know it-you are running on low pressure.
Then your castings give way before they should
and perhaps you wonder why-o blame the cas-
ings, when the tubes are at fault.
SO we urge all Goodyear users to realize that
good tube is just as important as good casing.
And all Goodyear Service Stations in Americus
carry full line Of Goodyear Tubes so that
Goodyear Castings, with good tubes inside, may
deliver their longest mileage.
And the Service Station men do this gladly
thong are many other kinds of tubes on which
they would make greater immediate profits
cause they know that Goodyear Tubes add life to
the tires they se-and SO increase their business.
They know Goodyear Tubes are all made the
right way-built up Of layer on layer Of pure,
tssue-thn gum each layer inspected for sand holes
and bubbles, with the valve patch vulcanized into
the tube, and the whole as near to permanent air
hghtness as is possible with an elastic material.
Your Goodyear Service Station Dealer will espe-
cialyrecommend Good earH eavy Tourist Tubes.
They cost more but he knows they are worth more.
