Do You Remember?
—%hen asuismobiles were called horseless carriages?—When
vou lcunht vour top and windshicld and oil lamps as extra
cgitpmcnt?-—hen passengers climbed into the tonneau from
{lie roari-—-¥hon it was something to brag about to drive 25
miles without a tire change?—When you got most of your
mileage cut of boots and patches? Those may have been the
“good old days” but who would want to go back to them. Tires
have more than kept pace with automobiles in the development
of durability and dependability. With it all tire prices have
gone down and down. Tire mileages are three times what they
were in 1912, And just a fewa years ago you paid two and
three times as much for your tires ac you will pay teday. To
day | can seil you tires at a price that just a few years ago
couldn't be thought of—a set of long-lived, safe, dependable and
wonderfully comfortable Goedyear Balloons. For real tire econ -
my, let me quote you on your size. And if there is any milezg?
left in your old tires I'll trade them in.
