INNER TUBES
OFFERED FREE
BY GOODRICH

every new tire should have a
new inner tube" says Dunbar
Carey of Goodrich Silvertown
Stores, "and during our Free Tube
Sale, with every Silvertown tire
purchased, we are going to make
this possible.
Car owners do not often think
of the automobile as actually run
ming on a cushion of air between
the wheels of the car and the
pavement" says Carey, but such
is actually the case. The inner
tube holds the air under pressure,
supported by the casing, but the
entire assembly relies on the inner
tube to do the big job.
Wonderful improvements have
been recently made in the manu-
facture of inner tubes. In the old
days. slower speeds did not cause
the heat and friction in tires that
we now find in the high speed
small diameter tires of today, and
almost any kind of a good rubber
compound could be used for an
inner tube. But today 1t Is neces-
sary for the rubber company en-
gineers to turn out tubes that will
resist heat, resist chatting on drop
center rims, and tearing If run
flat. Goodrich engineers have in
vented the new Goodrich Gold and
Black inner tube that meets and
beats all of these qualifications. It
is no longer necessary to worry
about inner tube trouble, as this

First Time to Dinner Tonight

Tonight President Roosevelt will
have a look into the Land of Bohemia,

Organized % years ago in honor of
the weed that goes deepest into the
earth in search of moisture, the
Alfalfa Club has been holding annual
dinners ever since; but no President
of the United States was ever invited,
for the reason that the Alfalfans felt
they had better confine their guest
list to members of Congress, diplo-
mats, newspaper men and those who
might sing the song:
Come to the Land Of Alfalfa,
Come where the clocks never
chime,
Come where III humor IS only
rumor
And sadness Is labeled q crime;
Come, bet aboard Of the lugger
Sailing the beakers of foam;
Come to the Land Of Alfalfa-
Where nobody ever goes home.
Alfalfa Club Changes.
That, of course, was in the old days.
Now that the New Deal Is on even
the Alfalfa Club has changed.
