The Source and Guardian of Quality 
There is in the factories of this Company a section occupied entirely bv men 
whose business it is never to be satisfied with things as they are. 
F hese men, constituting the Development Department, are charged with the 
creation and improvement of Goodyear products, processes and factory equipment. 
Out of their devoted labors have come not only the present excellence of the 
things Goodyear builds, but the very machinery by which these things are made. 
Not the least of their accomplishments has been to deliver to the public a steadilv 
increasing value in these products without proportionate increase in cost. 
T he present remarkable character of Goodyear Cord Tires for passenger cars 
continually has reinforcement and benefit from this source and guardian of quality. 
Nothing is withheld that intelligence, application and experiment can supply, in 
the effort to insure that worthiness of product which protects our good name. 
The results of such endeavor are seen today in the capacity of Goodvear Cord 
1 ires to deliver a kind of performance unapproached in any earlier type of tire. 
Because Goodyear 1 ires and the sincere conservation service behind them afford 
uncommon satisfaction, more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other 
kind.
