Literature for the Blind.

The first book in English printed in

of the blind was issued at Edinburgh.
81 years ago by James Calf. The first
attempt to provide literature for the

at Paris, who invented a system of
printing raised letters. Hauy used the
Ilyrian or Slovenian alphabet in the
few brief works he published, and his
project ended in failure.

1t is an interesting and peculiar phe~
nomenon that the heaviest emphasis
on the superiority of Goodyear Tires
should come from the public itself.
Surely nothing that we have written
or said of Goodyear Tires speaks SO
impressively Of their goodness as the
pubic's own preference for them.
What tribute framed only in words,
for example, could approach the
tribute contained in the situation
surrounding Good year Tires today?
In spite Of the intelligent competition
of some 800 other tire manufacturers,
the demand for GOODYEAR Tires sur
passes anything we have ever known.
1t is this insistence on the part of the
public, this refusal to be tempted even
momentarily away, that makes it
temporarily difficult for you to get
Goodyear Tires.
Even our present enormous produc>
ton, which for months past has
approximated $4,000 finished tires
per day, is insufficient fully to satisfy
all needs.
Although our factories are delivering
the largest daily volume ever attained
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1919-07-13

Largest
Too Small
by tire manufactures, there still
are not enough Goodyear Tires to
60 round.
Certainly Goodyear Tires must EN-,
body an unmatched dimension Of
value to be able to maintain popu>
larity before which even the worlds
largest tire output is too small.
OF course we are employing every
proper means to enlarge our produce
ton and to establish ample stocks of
Goodyear Tires everywhere.
Until this is accomplished, however,
we suggest that you anticipate YOUR
future requirements by placing
reservation order with your Goodyear
Service Station Dealer.
Many Goodyear users already have
placed such orders and have thus pro-
tected themselves against any incon>
venience that might otherwise arise.
For our part we are undertaking the
immediate expansion of our volume,
in an endeavor to make GOODYEAR
Tires as easy to get as they are worth
while to use.
