Name— Dion & Smith. Owned and operated by two of Key West’s most popular young men, Larry Dion and Charles E. Smith, Jr., the store opened as a Goodyear and General Electric franchised dealer in May, 1953. Since that time, it has expanded tremendously. Even a paved parking lot and Sinclair gasoline pumps have been added as a convenience to customers. Where else in the center of town can you find a store willing to sacrifice valuable land in order to provide folks with a place to park their automobiles?, Larry Dion And Charles Smith Both Larry and Charles have achieved a prominent position im Monroe County because of their civic industriousness. They took the lead in the Haitian Relief program recently and now have over two tons of clothing in their store ready for ship- ment to that hurricane-stricken island. Larry Dion attended St. Joseph’s School here in Key West and Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He is a former World War Il pilot; flew combat. missions out of Italy and North Africa. For the past seven years, he has been agent for Sinclair Oil Refining Co. Charles Smith, Jr., is an ex-Navy man. He has also spent quite a bit of time in Civil Service work—his last job being that of administrative officer in the Ships Dept. at Guatanamo Bay, Cuba. Charles graduated from Key West High School. You might call him a sports ‘fiend’ rather than a ‘fan.’ The same interest that made him a leader in high school sports is still present within him today. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Distributor Dion and Smith are headquarters for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company products, Says Smith, “We're sure proud to be the representatives of Goodyear with its many ‘firsts’ in the tire field. The newest and greatest thing is the Goodyear TUBELESS DeLuxe Super- Cushion tire. It costs no more than conventional tires and tubes.” “The Super-Cushion is the true tubeless tire,” he explain- ed. “It is made possible by Goodyear’s exclusive 3-T cord pro- cess, which results in an airtight carcass that is the best inte- grated and most efficient tire body ever built.” “Whoa,” I told Smith, “you want me to put these words down just the way you're giving them to me?” “Sure,” he replied. “And here’s some more information concerning the advantages of the new Goodyear tubeless Super- Cushion: they furnish increased safety against blowouts; pro- vide extra puncture protection which results in fewer roadside flats. The Super-Cushion gives up to 15 percent better skid resistance and has a longer, safer tire life. Goodyear tubeless Super-Cushion is a tire that holds air without liner or sealants!” According to the manufacturer, these new tires have really proven themselves in action. Taxi fleets across the nation sub- jected them t e 32,000,000 miles of slam, bang driving Goodyear’s tubeless Super-Cushions also took the vic- ious, jarring tortures of the Jimmy Lynch Death Dodgers in stride. Simple punctures can be repaired without removing the tire from the rim. In case you should wonder, the tire can readily be mounted on present rims. Dion & Smith advertise: “The tubeless Super-Cushion is the tire of tomorrow now economically practical for today’s cars. OUR NO-LOSS TRADE-IN PLAN MAKES IT EASY FOR MOTORISTS TO JOIN THE TUBELESS PARADE.” Toyland For Kiddies’ Christmas Half of the huge Dion & Smith store is set aside at this season of the year as a TOYLAND for children—ages 6 months to 80 years!
