ach is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw
laterials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of

xpert chemists at each mill are employed to select and blend the
phalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made under

ERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive
, ordinary roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with a
lend of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General’s
oard of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder
iphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a
?ofing more pliable, and more impervious to the elements than
* harder, drier kind.
ERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles,
here is a type of CERTAIN-

WORLD'S LEADING
TOBACCO TOWN
Winston-Salem, N. C.,
Now Manufacturers More
Tobacco Products Than
Any Other City in the
World.
Following are extracts from
an address delivered by Col. A.
D. Watts, Collector of Internal
Revenue for the Fifth District
of North Carolina, at a smoker
Given by The Twin City Club,
Winston-Salem, February 4th,
1916.
SOME COMPARISONS
“Winston-Salen is supplying
one-fourth of all the chewing
and smoking tobacco consumed
in the United States, besides ex
porting vast quantities to foreign
lands. This statement is taken
from the report of the Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue for
the first quarter of the present
fiscal year and from private ad
vices from Washington, as to the
second quarter, which ended on
December 31st. last.
“Your city is making one-
seventh of all tobacco products
—chewing and smoking tobacco
cigars, cigarettes and snuff-
manufactured in the United
States. Your manufacturers are
paying on an average of about
$37,000 a day revenue taxes to
the government and the amount
is increasing from month to
month. When your government
building, much the handsomest
in the State was compleated last
July at a cost of $250,000 your
newspapets made the statement
that the taxes paid your city to
Uncle Sam the first eight days
of its occupancy would pay for
it. Since September, it has tak
en only a fraction over seven
average days collection here to
equal its cost. So far this week
Mr. Crawford has taken in
$206,428.50 I predict that before
1616 shall have ended your ave
rage weekly payments to the
government on tobacco will more
than pay for this magnificent
building, leaving the collections
for the other fifty-one weeks as
clear profit to the government.
TOBACCO SHIPMENTS
“Winston-Salem is shipping on
an average each week day to all
parts of this country and to
foreign lands at least $150,000
of tobacco products.
“In conclusion, Winston-Salem
manufactures more tobacco, all
tobacco products are taken into
this statement, than any other
city on earth, little or big. In
dustrially, is easily first in North
Carolina, population considered,
;t m America and I believe
in the world; socially, a never
failing delight to her frienes.

M AKING the “Silvertown ’’ Cord Tire, taught
vs a few lessons in the manufacture of lighter,
cooler, more flexible and enduring FABRIC
Tires.
The "Silvertown” Tire, you know, gains its marvel
lous Speed (and the Coasting qualities that demonstrate its
Speed) primarily through .having only TWO layers of
Cords, laid transversely.
Of course, these TWO layers bend more readily than
Five, Six, or Seven Layers of Fabric do (or of Cord would).
But, we found it necessary, in order to conserve that
flexibility (in the Two-cord construction), to put a Rubber
Tread over it which was equally flexible, —equally strong,—
and elastic enough to act as a sort of spring between the
Earth and the Tire-casing, when Brakes were thrown on
at stopping, or clutch thrown in at starting.
So, we had to devise poetically a neiv kind of Rubber,
for this purpose, TWO YEARS AGO.
And this new kind of Rubber Compound now does for
GOODRICH Tires a work paralleling that done by the
wonderful Alloys of Steel and Bronze in modem Motor Car
construction. ,
_ It multiplies Rubber Efficiency, for Tire purposes,
while decreasing its Weight, and without increasing its
Bulk, or its Cost to you.

Goodrich
cannot yet supply half the demand for
Silvertown Ccrd Tires’’ (until enough manu-
„ _ factoring equipment can be constructed) we
compromise with the Public by giving them, without addi
tional charge, the highly efficient black Silvertown Rubber
in all Goodrich FABRIC Tires for 1916.
This makes GOODRICH Fabric Tires the most Re
silient and Responsive-to-Power,—the most Long-Lived
and Lively, of all FABRIC Tires, at ANY price,—without
increasing their relative price to you.
We call this new Silvertown Tread Compound by the
name and brand of “Barefoot Rubber.”
Because, it CLINGS to the pavement for the same
sort of reason that your bare foot clings to a slippery floor,
while being flexible, stretchy, springy, and light.
TENACIOUS, resilient, enduring, this “Barefoot Rub
ber” you today get in all black-tread Goodrich Fabric
Tires, — Goodrich Motor-Cycle Tires, — Goodrich Truck
Tires,—Goodrich Bicycle Tires,—Goodrich Rubber Boots,
Overshoes, Soles and Heels, and in none but GOODRICH
products.
Test out a pair of these moderately priced black-tread
FABRIC Tires and see what results from the mixing of
BRAINS with Rubber.
