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.
