East B> Test i » Mr. JAMES W. LOTT, Manager Americus Steam Vulcanizing Co., Americus, Ga. I MY DEAR SIR:- * In my travels, driving a heavy automobile, I must cover good roads and bad. It is of imperative importance that no delays occur while in transit, so I am constantly on the outlook for the best automobile tire that money can buy. Defective tires, tires that will not stand up to any and all road conditions are of no use to me. Needless to say, I "have tried all." I dsre say I have had experience with most every brand of tire on the American and European market, so in a sense, I am AUTHORITY on automobile tires. i I have no hesitancy in saying to you, sir, that GOODYEAR tires never disappoint me. They are as reliable as the sun,and the moon. A GOODYEAR always gives me SERVICE .nd my money's worth. Thinking that this information may be of interest to you, I gladly write you this letter while sojourning in your city. Respectfully, G. MURDOCK. l thc pastors engaged in this effort | to increase church attendance dur i ing November, said today that he I was especially grateful for the i showing already made and that pas- I tors expect much better results I next Sunday. Many of those wh > I attended church services Sunday for for the first time in many weeks I voluntarily expressed their resolve I to continue attending church serv > ces regularly, not only during No vember but through the entire year.
