Eventually this principle was crystal- lized into the five words which are now so well and widely known as the Good- rich slogan—*Best in the Long Run.” It is almost as old as the history of tires for it grew out of the performance of Goodrich Tires on bicycles. And it grew THE B. . GOODRICH COMPANY AKRON, OHIO MAKERS OF THE SILVERTOWN CORD TIRE PUBLIC LINKS TO OPEN.

It is not just a catch phrase. It is a plain statement of fact. It is really a mirroring of the confidence placed in Goodrich products by their users. In five words it expresses the ideals, the policies, the prin- ciples of the institution. It means the “long run” of good faith and good will in the minds of customers—which is the greatest asset a manufacturer can have. Quality and service—that is how Goodrich translates this slogan into terms of longest average wear, utmost depend- ability and known value in all that it pro- duces. It must be “Best in the Long Run.”
