Some are made with skimpy, short staple cotton. Some have an overdose of “filler” in the rubber of the tread. Some are long on looks and short on quality. But you won’t need a microscope to be sure that the Goodyear Tire you get from us is a real buy. Goodyear mileages tell the story of “The World’s Greatest Tire.” Goodyears are performing so satisfactorily for our customers that they invariably come back not with a kick but with a boost, and for another Goodyear when they need tire equipment. We have your size in fresh, new stocks at low prices. GULF SERVICE STATION J. T. FAULKNER, Prop. PHONE 40 McCORMICK, S.
