ARCH_13, 1915 The Goodrich Tire, like the trained athlete is all brawn and muscle—no fat HE old Olympic Game promoters were great for what we call “form.” Symmetry, proportion, soundness and proper balance out-bid bulging muscles for favor—yes, and out-won, too, just as they will today. Mere bulk never was synonymous with endurance—and the truth of this statement drives home with a bang, when you apply it to tires. 8. B = was their only “come-back.” They kad to say that, in stripping down prices to the point where they were fair to dealer and consumer and left no room for injurious price-cutting tactics, we had stripped our tires of some quality, too.

There is where we learn to cut out of a tire the material which gets the user nothing. Of course, when we stripped tire price lists of their padding—fictitious values—we expected rivals to say we had stripped our tires. We price lists. the ability to cut out the extra costs of manu- facture, the extra costs of labor, of extra, needless material, and to give you the best, long-mileage, high-standard tire in the world. ‘There are padded tires as well as padded Don’t pay for padding. Now don’t forget this—we are talking in the main about Goodrich Safety Tread Tires, for they represent ninety per cent of our factory output for resale, Furthermore, while we have put the pad- ded prices on smooth tread tires on the run, the evil of padded prices on non-skid tires still is in evidence, as shown in table belows: THE B.
