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.

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 The Last Shot A Remarkable War Story Which Pictures with almost prophetic accuracy the Titantic Struggle now being waged in Europe.

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, Goodßyear AKRON.

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." RUSSIAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Washington, D.
