Some Tire Prices 
Will Buy You a Half-Inch Wider Goodyear 
Note these amazing facts: 
Today some tires are costing one-third 
more than Goodyears. 
Their price — or less — buys a half-inch 
wider Goodyear. And the wider tire will fit 
your rim. 
For instance, their price on a 30 x 3 will buy 
a Goodyear 31 x 334 - Their price on a 36 x 434 
will buy a Goodyear 37 x 5 . So on other sizes. 
Or you can buy four same-size Goodyears 
for the price some ask for three. 
So the price of some tires will buy you in 
Goodyears a wider tire, or one extra tire in 
three. 
Too-High Prices 
Nowadays, 16 makes of tires are selling 
for more than Goodyear prices. Those prices, 
we claim, are too high. 
Goodyear prices buy the utmost in a tire — 
the best we know after 15 years of research 
and experiment. 
They buy four great features found in no 
other tire. And they buy the tire which out¬ 
sells any other — the tire 
which holds top place 
in Tiredom after millions 
have been tried. 
Our prices are low because of mammoth 
production. They are half what they used 
to be. But smaller output and higher prices 
do not signify better tires. 
Exclusive Features 
These four great features can be found in 
No-Rim-Cut tires alone. That is why these 
tires have become the most popular tires in 
the world. 
The No-Rim-Cut feature —the only way 
known to make a faultless tire that can’t 
rim-cut. 
Our “ On-Air ” cure —which saves the 
countless blow-outs due to wrinkled fabric. 
This one extra process costs us $ 1,500 daily. 
Our rubber rivets — hundreds of which 
we form in each tire to combat tread separa¬ 
tion. We control this patent. 
Our All-Weather tread —the tough, 
double-thick anti-skid. It is flat and smooth, 
so it runs like a plain tread. But no other 
tire grasps wet roads with such deep, sharp, 
resistless grips. 
In No-Rim-Cut tires, at Goodyear prices, 
you get all those extra 
features. Any dealer will 
supply you.

in sand-float plaster of a warm buff tone, 
providing a pleasant background for the 
many interesting souvenirs of foreign 
travel which the room contains. The 
Craftsman furniture of fumed oak com¬ 
pletes an ensemble of very pronounced at¬ 
tractiveness, and one eminently suited to 
the needs of a young man. 
In one young man's den buff sand-float 
plaster is again employed for a wall finish, 
having as a foil ivory-enameled woodwork 
and mahogany doors. With this sugges¬ 
tively Colonial treatment, the exposure of 
the brown-stained rafters is unconven¬ 
tional, yet very interesting. The congruity 
in a young man’s room of varying types of 
furniture is apparent here, for antique ma¬ 
hogany chairs and working table, green- 
painted Windsor chairs, and the hour-glass 
furniture of the Far East, are harmoni¬ 
ously combined. The built-in cupboards, 
drawers and bookcases are, of course, 
enameled ivory-white to correspond with 
the woodwork. The low, triple window is 
very attractively treated with valanced 
hangings of white muslin. Inner hang¬ 
ings, to ward off excessive light, are also 
provided. For these a heavy, open- 
meshed, linen fabric in the natural color is 
utilized. Strips of old-fashioned, striped 
rag carpet are very appropriately used as 
a floor covering to carry out the Colonial 
effect. 
A pleasant development of the combined 
den-sleeping room idea is depicted by an¬ 
other example. In this instance the walls 
and ceilings are painted a sunny yellow, 
and the floor covered with rugs in which 
old blue predominates. To correspond 
with the furniture of Craftsman design, 
the woodwork is of black oak. Several of 
the chairs are upholstered in leather, the 
others in dark blue denim. Denim covers 
are also provided for the two couch-beds. 
This room is unique in its many evidences 
of the occupants’ artistic abilities. For ex¬ 
ample, into the panels of the door a triple 
study of palms in virile black and white 
has been set, giving an effect as interesting 
as it is unusual. The walls, too, bear the 
impress of artistic hands, for they already 
show the nucleus of a mural treatment, 
which is eventually to he carried entirely 
around the room. The cushion covers and 
the denim chair-coverings are stenciled in 
yellow. Another strongly decorative touch 
is given by a hanging of Mandarin yellow, 
stenciled in black and Chinese Vermillion, 
which is thrown over the back of the desk. 
Thus, throughout the room, the occupants’ 
skill with the brush is sufficiently apparent 
to give the requisite note of personality. 
In a room of irregular contour a plate 
rail is useful, not only as a resting-place 
for pictures and other decorative objects, 
but as a means of adding to the apparent 
area of the room by lessening the appar¬ 
ent height. The contrasting colors above 
and below the plate rail are likewise im¬ 
portant in this respect. As in several of 
the other rooms, the walls are painted with 
a flat finish. The upper portion, as well as

“painty,” but rich and artistic, and the cost is only half 
that of painting. For shingles, sidings, trimmings and all 
similar outside woodwork on houses, farm buildings or 
bungalows, they are the ideal colorings, and “Creosote is 
the best wood preservative known.”
