The treads are double-thick—
The rubber is extra tough—
The grips are deep and enduring—
The edges stay sharp—
They face the skidding direction—
The blocks meet at the base—
The surface is flat and smooth.
Here are sharp edg^s which stay sharp. And
the edges face the skidding direction.
Here are blocks that widen out and meet
at the base, so the strains are spread as with
plain treads.
This is the latest of Goodyear inventions.
It solves anti-skid problems as never before.
It combines plain-tread economy with the
safety of a most tenacious grip.
You are bound to adopt it. A five-minute
comparison will make you a convert. Don’t

says Rohl, “the price !
of the Republic has been a little out I
of the reach of many auto owner*, i
who are desirous of a tire of unusual
quality, but now with the new price !
list almost every auto owner can use ,
them if he desires.
“We are expecting a very substan- J
ria.1 increase in our business for the
next year and are confident that now
the Republic will enjoy in the South i
the same popularity It doe* In many j
other sections of the country.”
Here la a tread which rona as smoothly as
plain treads. It is just as economical.
It gets rid of all features which made anti

On dry roads it runs like a plain tread. To
wet roads it gives an irresistible grip.
It is the tread for all wheels and all seasons.
On Goodyear tires—the largest-selling tires in
the world — it is outselling plain treads with
users. In winter it is an essential.
