Goodyear School OF
Tire Repairing Is
FavorabIy Received

Los Angeles, June IL. - The
school Of Tire Repairing conducted
by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company of California at the Los
Angeles factory is meeting with a
great deal of favor among tie
yuIcanizers of the entire western
territory.
Already more than one hundred
students, representing practically
every section of the west as well
as the Hawaiian Islands. have com
pleted the three weeks course OF
instruction and gone back TO theft
respective localities with q thor0
knowledge of the most modern and
approved methods of tire rel arr
ing.
]. r. Wells, manager of the ac-
cessories and repair Eaterial sales
at the Goodyear factory, in com
menting on the WORK which the
school is doing said:
During the last few years the
repairing of pneumatic tires has
developed into a business OF tre-
mendous importance and proper
tions and today is has become
firmly established. The repair man
who is well posted in the ever
changing methods o. 5ulcanizing
and the constantly i.hproved ma
terials. which are now on the mar
ket. has before him a field Of un-
usual money making opporiunl
ties.
"He is in a position to give val
uable assistance to car owners who
desire to give increased attention
- the care and conservation or
their tires; he is in position TO
show them how road troubles can
be minimized by precautionary
methods; how the inbuilt mileage
can be preserved by repairs made
from time to time and how tires
that otherwise would fail because
of some fault can be made to give
thousands of miles more service.
Up to a few years ago divers
methods of vulcanfzing were en-
ployed many of them exceedingly
poor because of the fact that there
had never been a set standard of
correct methods to be used and 1t
is only recently that schools such
as the Goodyear Repair school
have been established offering ex-
cellent courses in this profession.
The vulcanizer of today is in
much the same position as the tea
cher, the physician or any other
professional man. He must be IA
miliar with the changing and i'm
proved methods in order to always
be abreast of the times. And toI
become familiar with these new
methods and materials used in
modern tire repairing, it is incu-
bent on him to attend one of these
schools.
Today many new repair mater
ials have been produced, ana new
methods have been perfected
and the vulcanizer who is not en-
tirely familiar with both of these
new materials and new methods
of application is almost out of the
running in the keen competition
which exists in the tire repair bu-
siness today.
In order to give the established
vulcanizer, or the man contemplat-
ing making vulcanizing a business
an opportunity to learn these new
methods, as well as to give him a
thorough understanding of new
repair materials which are now
being used, the Goodyear School
of Tire Repairing has been estab-
lished
1t is indeed an interesting group
of men who gather in the class
room. In every class representative
es from almost every section of
the west can be found-all intent
upon increasing their store of
knowledge in order to broaden
their education in their chosen
field.
The course Of instruction is
absolutely free and comprises three
weeks of intensive training which
embodies study, and a practical
application of all the modern meth
DDS which are now employed.
No greater opportunity has ever
been offered established repairmen
or to those who desire to engage
in the profession of vulcanizing
than is offered by the Goodyear
Tire Repair school.

ing the school and the courses Of
