Goodyear Tires Pushed
By Mcconnell & Causey

Spring has come, to say nothing
o fsummer being here, too, and with
it's young mans fancy" comes
spring fever. Everyone has that
"far away look" in his eye that
means weekend trips to the country,
the seashore and to the mountains.
Travel illustrations and maps tell
the way, and the safest routes to
take, but they fail to impress
upon the traveller the danger of
slick tires. That is where McCon-
nell & Causey comes in. Before you
begin taking these impromptu vaca-
ton trips, consult them about your
tires.
Mcconnell & Causey sells Good
year tires and Goodyear is the
Password among those who travel
most. So take the advice of those
who know replace those worn
out, slick tires with a brand new set
of Goodyears.
In addition to selling good tires
Mcconnell & Causey has a tire in
spection service that is complete, and
free. Drive in their modern station
at 18th and Market streets and let
them give you this service, free of
charge.
Besides selling you good Goodyear
tires most economically, Mcconnell
& Causey have just about the easiest
and most convenient credit terms in
town. They will be only too glad to
sit down with you and work out a
plan whereby you car get those new
tires you need now without seriously
endangering your vacation budget.
Make a small down payment when
these new Goodyear tires are put on
your car and then pay the balance
as you ride, over a period of months.

this up-to-date service station and
garage, Remember, the safest
