TIRE PRICES ARE BEING SLASHED NOW
Goodyear Announces 10 to 20
 Per Cent Cut

Akron. Ohio, July 7.-Followine the lead of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company virtually all rub Der manufacturers in the Akron district announced cuts of 10 to % per cent in the prices of automo- bile and truck tires and inner tubes today. It had not been expected the cut would come until next fall.
 The cuts were hastened it is be- lieved, by the apparent unwilling ness of dealers to stock tires for more than immediate needs in an- ticipation of price reductions cer- tain to follow continued low quota tions of raw materials.
 While production costs still are based on rubber bought at levels higher than the present mark" said p. W. Litchfeld president of the Goodyear company. these subst1n- tial reductions are being made earlier than might he expected so the public may benefit by lower prices at. the height of the buying season.
 The basis on which tire milea ge .can be bought now is as favorable as .any the consumer has ever enjoyed" ."
 The reductions will bring the tire .prices of the B. r. Goodrich Rub .ber company to the levels of late .192i and early 1925, it was an- .nounccd by l.. A. Mcqueen, assistant general sales manager.

 William O'Ncill, head Of thes Gen .eral Tire and Rubber company. one .of the principal smaller manufac- .turers, said: While the General 'company has not felt the pinch, bus iness in some quarters has not been lat normal and it was felt a rcduc- tion would speed up business. The situation has been realized by the trade for some weeks. but the rc- ductions had not been expected be- fore July 15."
