GREATEST PROTECTION
Y0UVE EVER HAD
AGAINST BOTH SKIDS
AND BLOW-OUTS
• Before you experience that pit-of-the-
stomach feeling that comes when a skid
zig-zags your car wildly over a wet, glassy
road—before a high-speed blow-out
throws your car out of control—let us
equip your car with a set of new Goodrich
Safety Silvertowns.
Outside it has the new Life-Saver Tread
to give you a dry track on wet, slippery
roads and stop you quicker, safer than
you’ve ever stopped before; inside it still
has the famous Golden Ply to provide you
and your family with real protection
against dangerous high-speed blow-outs.
Next time you buy tires, remember this
money-saving fact. Many tires cost more,
but no other tire—at any price—can give
you this two way protection against both
skids and blow-outs.
