1 Selling Tires
I Intelligently
jfi We believe that we do not supply
needs by merely selling .you tires.
You are entitled to receive from us a will
ing, painstaking service of expert helpfulness.
This we give, knowing that it is the only
S intelligent way to sell tires.
J . Naturally we have complete information on
M how to make every tire deliver its maximum
of mileage and satisfaction.
We pass this information on to you when
ja ever you need it—daily if necessary'.
This service is freely given to all our cus
tomers.
We sell Goodyear Tires, Tubes and ‘’Tire
■ Saver” Accessories. That, in itself, we i'elic-ve
is a service, because the Good ye;, r lire, pi
■ you know, is made up of high-quality proci
■ ucts bound to give you the greatest use for
the least expense
