rue uciiig uruauwuv
With a long record of pioneer developments
in the tire industry, the C{J
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company cr
lias pioneered in another field by
bringing to a politically-conscious j
nation the results of the Literary e
Digest presidential poll via a thrice- ^
weekly broadcast, over station WBT
at 6:15 p. m., each Monday, Wed- ar
neaday and Friday. A. E Hodges. of
local Goodyear dealer stated today.
"Just as Goodyear has made it a
traditional policy to keep several '
paces ahead of the needs of the mo- ^
torist through constant research
and laboratory work, so it is mir- ^
roring the nation's Interest in the ^c
current presidential campaign by ,c
making these returns available almost
as quickly as they are com- ,,
piled," he stated. rej
"Naturally we are not ir. politics, ,
ar.d take no sides in the contest. But ^
at a time like this, when the ap- o[
proaching election is a topic of conversation
on all sides, it is appar- afe
ent that the organization which
brings to the public spot news re- ^
Ti/irtc * * -r .. .
, W.t ucuu VM. puilUCHl tninKing
in the country is performing a
public service."
A small army of statistical workers
is employed to tabulate the Lit-!
erary Digest returns as fast as Uieyl
are received, after which the figures}
are broken down to show not only
the vote as it is forecast for next
November, but also the manner in
which the individual voted in the
last presidential eleciton, Mr. Hodges
explained.
"Thus listeners to the Goodyear
broadcast over 64 NBC stations hear
not only last.-minute fgiures on the
poll, but also interpretations of significant
changes in key sections of
the country."
