Goodyear fires Did the Work.

When a community is short Of food
because Of severe weather and lack
of transportation, there is but one
thought-to get it quickly. Urbana,
Ohio, recently suffered a scarcity of
meat and when motor trucks equipped
with solid tires and chains were sent
to the Westville station to unload
many carloads of hogs, they were
stalled by heavy snow and icy roads.
No progress could be made. At this
juncture E. T. Taylor, a proprietor
of the Mad River Stock Farm, was
called in with his pneumatically
equipped truck. Even without chains,
his Goodyear all-weather tread gave
ample traction so that he unloaded
the hogs for Urbanian consumption
without any trouble, converting many
scoffers to the advantages Of pneu-
mates. It is said that the easiest way
to a persons affections is through
his stomach, if that is so, then pneu-
MATES are forever enshrined in the
hearts Of Urbanians
