No tires bearing the Goodyear name,not even
the famous Goodyear Cords which equip the
world's highest-priced cars, embody a higher
relative value than do Goodyear Tires in
the 30x3-, 30 x3V2-, and 31x4-inch sizes.
In these tires owners of Ford, Chevrolet,
Dort, Maxwell and other cars taking the
above sizes are afforded a measure of per
formance and service such as only the
world's largest tire factory devoted to these
sizes can supply.
All that this company's experience and
methods have accomplished in these tires is
available to you now at the nearest Goodyear
Service Station.
Go to this Service Station Dealer for these
tires, and for Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes.
He has them.

Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes are thick, strong tubes that
reinforce casings properly. Why risk a good casing with a
cheap tube? Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes cost little more

HERE'S HOW IT'S DONE.
Imagine a torch flame so hot that it will melt
steel, iron, brass or any metal easily and quick
ly and hold k at a liquid state.
The Oxy-Acetylene flame, 6300° Fahrenheit in
temperature does this—by playing this flame
on the edges of a broken part, bo Yv edges are
brought to a liquid state and enoug new met al
added to build up the crack or defect. Thus
the two pieces of metal are not merely cement
ed together—the metal flows together and
fuses into one solid piece. In many cases the
weld is the strongest section of the part.
