Morris schools gives an increase of
268 per cent over any previous en

attendance considerably in excess of
the present number of two hundred

S r—///l
1 iced Cord Ti
A Popular-Priced Cord Tire
Without a Rival
The new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord Tire is built with
genuine high-grade long-staple cotton as a foundation.
It is liberally oversize—the 414-inch tire, for example,
measuring nearly 5 inches.
The deep, clean-cut, cog-like pattern of its tread affords
excellent traction even in snow and mud, engaging the road
like a cogwheel.
The scientific distribution of rubber in this tread—the wide
center rib and the semi-flat contour—gives a thick, broad
surface that is exceedingly slow to wear.
This new tire is a genuine Goodyear through and through ,
—in design, in material, in construction.
It costs less to buy than the net price you are asked to pay for
many “longdiscount” tires of unknown reputation and value.
Why be satisfied with less than this efficient tire can give—
why take a chance on an unknown make?
Compare these prices with NET prices you are asked to pay for *“long discount” tires’
