The broken Pitman that caused a small delay was replac ed the first of the week so that drill ing is now progressing at the usual rate.

It gives him, at a price ldwer than the net price he is asked to pay for many "long discount" tires, every advantage of quality cord tire performance, for it is a quality tire through and through. It is made of high-grade long-staple cotton; it embodies the reliable Goodyear quality of materials; its clean-cut tread engages 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. , The tough tread stock in this tire is carried down the side walls clear to the bead, making it rut-proof to an extraor dinary degree. In every particular it is a representative Goodyear product, built to safeguard the world-wide Goodyear reputation. Despite its high quality, and the expertness of its construe tion, it sells at a price as low or lower than that of tires which lack its important features. The 30 x 3H inch Cross-Rib Cord clincher.
