In thousands of homes in this country there are new tire prices —Jowest cost mileage cver known Effective July 20th, Goodrich establisheda revised price list that is a base line of tire value. It gives the motorist the buying advantage of knowing that whatever size tire he selects is of the same quality —the Goodrich one-quality standard. It gives him the longest mileage, the most satisfactory service and the highest quality his money can buy. Results will prove that it is impossible to buy tire mileage at lower cost. Think of being able to buy Silvertown Cords at such prices as these: BASE LINE PRICE s [ we ] 30x3% c. 31x3.85% 30x3%s.B. 32x3%% « 31x4 - 32x4 33x4 [ 5 5” [ 30x3 30x3%%. 32x3% s.B.
