We believe that everyone of these makes as good Tires as he - knows how, at the lowest Cost his Ex- perience, Equipment and Methods make possible. We believe that the average Tire Manufacturer is fair in his treatment of Adjustments, and that few deliberately misrepresent their product, either ver- bally or in Print. 'We believe that no Tire Manufact- urer can afford to make statements in print about his product, which state- ments cannot be borne out by the per- Jormance of his Tires, in actual use. We believe that the Tire has never been made which will not ‘‘Rim-Cut’” if run “‘flat’’ for any considerable dis- tance, and that many makers, including ourselves, have always produced Tires that would not otherwise ‘‘Rim-Cut’’ versus—— Ingenious Claims We believe that many more Tires ‘‘Break-at-the-Bead’’ than Cut at the Rim. E believe thatthe Rub- ber Riveting System ofattaching the Tread to the Carcass (by means of a loosely woven fabric, which per- mits the raw Rubber to percolate through its meshes and then Vul- canize to Carcass and Tread) pre- vents, to a large extent, Tread- Separation. We have long used this in “‘Goodrich’’ Tires, as a common- place part of our Precision policy, but without laying any particular stress upon it. ‘We believe that the ‘“Donble- Cure’’ process, common with a great many Tire Manufacturers under different names, adds un- necessary expense to Tire Cost, which expense the Methods of the Goodri Factory eliminate through its Precision ‘‘Single- Cure.” - ‘We believe that the cutting out of needless expenses like this (which our Precision Methods save) constitutes one of the strongest reasons why the Rubber Factory in the World (Ours) produces the greatest Mileage—per Dollar of Cost—in its Tires. And— —*“The PROOF of the Tire is in the Mileage thereof.’’ believe that the House which sticks to the Truth in its Advertising, is reasonably sure to stick to the Flacts in its Selling.
