When the time came the office was swarming, for each of the services which had not been fnvited had sent several men. Col. Lindbergh met that problem instantly with the aid of the police. The office was cleared quickly. It so happened, however, that the agencies which were excluded got tiwir pictures anyway, through one subterfuge or other.

REDUCES TIRE CARE to the Minimum: INSURES SAFETY— prevents Blow-outs OUTLASTS THE TIRE— often Several STRENGTHENS TIRE “JWT'S the biggest thing since bal- loons,” say tire users by the thou- sands. ‘““The most révolutionary im- provement in tire performance inyears.” And they're right. The Air Container takes the place of old-fashioned inner tubes . . . and it’s more than any inner tube ever ould be. The ordinary inner tube blows out when pinched and goes flat instantly when punctured. The Air Container automatically seals punctures on run- ning wheels . . . provides absolute safety by preventing blow-outs. The ordinary inner tube, if allowed to develop slow leaks, will rob you of mile- age that your tires should give. The Air Container, by maintaining correct air A. C.

The patented cord insert makes the Air Container fit snugly, prevents shoulder separation. All of these advantages are to be found only in genuine Air Containers, made by Goodrich. The genuine Air Con- tainer has a patented, exclusive feature, a construction principle employed ex- clusively by Goodrich, which avoids the weakness heretofore found in so-called “puncture-proof”’ tubes. Goodrich Air Containers retain their puncture-seal- ing ability indefinitely, a quality found in no other puncture-proof tube. We have Goodrich Air Containers in stock in your size right row.
