Tires at
Befor e-W ar Prices
Yet We Never Got Choicer Rubber
We Never Built Better Tires
There exists now a new reason—most compelling—tor buying Goodyear Tires.
It results from war conditions.
These leading Tires—built ot extra-tine rubber, in the same way as always
—are selling today at June prices.
Due to Quick Action
Early In August—wnen war began—the world's rubber mar
kets Beemed suddenly closed to us. Rubber prices doubled al
most overnight.
Men could Bee no way to pay for rubber abroad, and no
way to bring It In. We, like others—ln that panic—were forced
to higher prices. But we have since gone back to prices we
charged before the war, andnd this Is how we did it:
We had men In I.ondon and Singapore when the war broke
out. The larger part of the world's rubber supply comes through
there. We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rubber. They
bought—before theadvance —1,600,000 pounds of the finest rubber
there.
Nearly all this Is now on the way to us. And It means
practically all of the extra-grade rubber obtainable abroad.
Today wo have our own men n Colombo, Singapore and
Para. Those are the world's chief sources of rubber. So w-»
are pretty well assured of a oonstant supply, and our pick of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quickest In action.
As a result, we shall soon have In storage an almost record
supply of this extra grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
And the only crude rubber available now for many makers
Is Inferior. In ordinary times, the best tire makers refuse it.
Much of It had been rejected. But that "off rubber” now sells

GOODYEAR TIRE 9 AT ANTE-BELLUM
PRICES.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Go. an
nounce “No war prices on Goodyear
Tires.’’ Mr. F. A. Hieberllng, president
of the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
“We advanced Goodyear prices, ns
others did theirs, when the rubber panic
came. Almost In a day crude rubber
rose In New York from 55 cents per
pound to much over a dollar. And, as
most of the world’s rubber comes via
London or Antwerp, wo saw no way out
for a time.
“The York supply was too small
to consider. Europe tn exchange was
entirely suspended. Merchant ships had
ceased running.
“But we have an almost world-wide
organization, and we brought It at once
Into play. We are the world’s largest
buyers of high-grade rubber, so we have
our own experts In London, Colombo,
Hingapore and Para.
“We cabled our London people to buy
up the pick of the rubber there. By act
ing quickly and paying cash they obtain
ed 1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber
there. They bought before the advance
before the other buyers saw a way to
get London exchange ife to bring the rub
ber here.
“That big supply of rubber is now

for much more thnn we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices In general are far In advance of Goodyears. And
many tire makers, short of supplies, will be forced to use sec
ond-grade rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Goodyears we pledge you the same-grade tire as always.
And that grade won for Goodyears the top place in Ttredom—«
the largest sale In the world.
And, for the time being, our prices ore the same as before
the war. We shall try to keep them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers will be kept
supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, only ante
bellum prices.
That means that Goodyears — the best tires built—ars sell
ing way below other tires,

nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. It constitutes the best
of the I/>n<bm supply. On the inferior
grades remaining, prices have since been
rapidly advanced.
“We have since taken other steps to
Insure us a continuous supply, all of the
highest grade rubber. in nil the chief
sources of rubber supply v#e have ex
perts on the ground. All Is being done
that can be done to secure the best rub
ber, the exchange to pay for It and the
ships to bring it here.
“The result Is that Goodyear tire prices
are now the snme as In June. This Is
true, we believe, of no other maker, all
of whom have raised prices. We are
using the same grade of rubber and the
same amount of It as we always have
used Iri these tires.
“We are running our factory with three
shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day.
Ho long as we remain this fortunate po
sition on rubber, we shall supply tire
users at bePAe-war prices to the limit of
our capuclty."
