Here's Something to Think About:
The public buys more Goodyear Tires
than any other kind?this is the
. eighteenth successive year! . . . The
public wouldn't buy more Goodyear
Tires if Goodyears did not offer
! greater value . . . But they do offer
I greater value, hence they enjoy greater
sales . . . Are you wondering what
tire to buy? Just ask yourself this
simple question: "Why should I buy
any tire but a Goodyeaf when a
Goodyear costs no more?" . . . We
think you'll decide it by poming right
