AN EXAMPLE OF GOODYEAR VALUE The 30 x 3K Goodyear Cross Rib Tire shown here alongside its companion, the 30.x 3K Goodyear All -Weather Tread Clincher, is a conspicuous example of Goodyear value. The Goodyear Cross Rib has in it the same high grade Egyptian cotton fabric that goes into the Al-Weather Tread Goodyear. It has a differently designed but long wearing tread, and it sells for considerably less money. In the past five years more than 5,000,000 of these Goodyear Cross Rib Tires have been sold. They have everywhere given remarkable service. Their fine performance and known value have convinced thousands of motorists of the folly of buying unknown and unguar anteed tires of lower price.
