ELLO EVERYBODY— Floyd Gibbons speaking. I always took one particular pride in the old U. S. A. and it was based on the fond belief that Americans have the highest standard of living of any people in the world and also, we place the highest value on human life. What a jolt that belief has just received! Could you imagine that human life is cheaper in the U. S. A. than in war-ridden China? Neither could I until the figures proved it to me. Yes, sir, we killed more people right here in God’s Country, in the same length of time, than were killed at Shanghai. ‘We wounded ten times as many. We weren’t fighting a war. No, sir. Our killing and wounding was done in automo- bile accidents. Frightful! I stopped at the Goodrich plant in Akron on my way home from Shanghai. They told me about a survey just made. It showed 57 of the cars in typical cities were operating on unsafe tires. Tires that invite disaster. Where inches mean safety?! I began to understand why so many are killed and injured. Tires carry the weight of the car. They transmit the power. They do the braking. They do the steering. Fifty miles an hour on a few square inches of rubber —the sole link between you and the world— between you and safety! Station 18th and Monroe Streets N.E.

Answer this quesiion—would your tires grip the road—stop you in time? I found out more at Akron. I found out what Goodrich has done to make this “safety link” safer. Three years they’ve been at it. Develop- ing-a new tire. Testing formulas. Testing processes. Testing designs. Now it's ready. They call it the SAFETY Silvertown. They say it's the safest tire ever built. They convinced me. I saw them drop a heavy metal prong— like a guillotine—on this tire. They had to drop it 75 feet before it penetrated. The Torture Chamber! Istood in a room where the temperature was 120 degrees—the torture chamber—and saw machines strike these tires with steel cleats —hundreds of times a minute. They were duplicating driving conditions on the desert —proving these tires won’t burst when super-hot. We went to a deserted stretch of road. Asphalt. Wet. There was a wedgeshaped corner. Sharper than a right-angle turn. One of their test drivers brought a car down to that turn at 42 miles an hour. Then took it —without brakes. We saw puffs of steam come out from under those Safety Silver- towns as they clutched that glazed, wet pavement. They, literally burned the water off the street, leaving a clear, dry track behind them. THEY DIDN'T SKID AN INCH! With thousands injured in skidding acci- dents every year, this is more than news— it’s a SENSATION. 105 B Street S.E. Station Hyattsville, Md. zullo’s Service Station Good Hope Road S.E.

The Torture Chamber! Tempera- ture 120! Wheels studded with steel cleats. Striking hundreds of times a minute! Duplicating driving conditions on the desert — proving these tires won’t burst when super-hot! Then came the biggest surprise. I asked who could afford to buy Safety Silvertowns. “They don’t cost onc cent more than any standard tire,” I was told. “For instance, the price is $7.05 for the Ford and Chevrolet size. Of course, tires can be bought even cheaper than that. Others make them— Goodrich makes them, too—for as little as $4.16, Buttheyare NOT Safety Silvertowns,” I'll save my neck! Let's figure it out—the difference between $7.05 and $4.16 is $2.89. “Saving” $2.89 on a tire—that's what a lot of people are doing now. And the toll of dead and injured mounts year after year! No, thank you! With driving speeds what they are—with traffic what it is—with a few square inches of rubber the sole link with safety— I'll save $2.89 some other way! Not on tires!
