GOODRICH CUTS SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922. Ten to Fifteen Per Cent Clipped from Recent Quo- tations, Report. The B. F. Goodrich company has announced new prices on all its one- quality automobile tiresa a reduction of from ten to fifteen per cent. This tremendous eaving in cost to the entire automobile industry is made in the face of a determined effort to control the rubber markets of the world by the Britis: and the Dutch governments. Cotton, which is the biggest element in the cost of the modern tire, is materially rising in price, and in the face of a steadily increasing world consumption, tvith one of the smatiest’ holdover crops in years, and with only a neta crop in sight for this year, cotton pound to go much higher, The Good- rich price reduction is made in spite of these increased costs. ‘A conservation estimate of the auto- mobile tire bill for the United States in 1922 places: it at over a half biltton dollars, which means that the Good- rich price reduction on tires wiil save American motorists over $50,000,000. Even before today’s reduction Good- rich tire prices were less than half the peak war-time prices. The largest items in the cost of motor transporta- tion have been gasoline and tires, which up to now have been on about even levels. The new Goodrich prices raean that hereafter tire upkeep is re- duced to approximately one-half of the cost. rn an effort toward the creation 5) nsportation costs, some rub- Sr manutacturera have introduced eral reduction. Goodrich is optimistic regarding the future of Dusiness and especially so in the automobile industry. G4 CASES OF SPOTTED FEVER, 14 DEATHS IN CTATE THIS.
