T HE old Olympic game pro¬ 
motors were great for what 
we call form. 
Symmetry, proportion, soundness 
and proper balance outbid bulging 
muscles for favor—yes, and out-won, 
too, just as they will today. 
Mere bulk never was synonymous 
I T was their only “come-back.” 
They had to say that, in strip¬ 
ping down prices to the point 
where they were fair to dealer and con¬ 
sumer and left no room for injurious 
price-cutting tactics, we had stripped 
our tires of some quality, too.

statement drives home with a bang, 
when you apply it to tires.

I F thick, heavy tires were the 
last word in tire construction, 
we could wipe out of existence 
a Goodrich Research and Test Depart¬ 
ment employing seventy people. We 
would take off the road a battalion of ten 
automobiles, that run twenty-four hours 
a day and every day in the year, grind¬ 
ing tires of all makes to pieces, just for the 
sake of information to us and eventual 
economy to the user of Goodrich Tires. 
There is where we learn to cut out 
of a tire the material which gets the 
user nothing. 
Of course, when we stripped tire 
price lists of their padding — fictitious 
T HE Goodrich Tire, like the 
trained athlete, is all brawn 
and muscle—no fat. It repre¬ 
sents an achievement—the ability to cut 
out the extra costs of manufacture, the 
extra costs of labor, of extra, needless 
material, and to give you the best, long- 
mileage, high-standard tire in the world. 
There are padded tires as well as 
padded price lists. 
Don’t pay for padding. 
Now don’t forget this—we are talk¬ 
ing in the main about Goodrich Safety 
Tread Tires, for they represent ninety 
per cent of our factory output for resale. 
Furthermore, while we have put 
the padded prices on smooth tread tires 
on the run, the evil of padded prices 
on non-skid tires still is in evidence, as 
shown in table below:

had stripped our tires.

Goodrich, they are taking it out of the tire; if you are 
charged more, they are taking it out of you.
