On January 13, 1920, a special factory representative
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company will be here at
cur store to meet our patrons and talk with them about
TIRE CONSERVATION.
We used to expect a tire tolast out its full life without
any particular care.
But now we are all learning that even the best of tires
won't give all the mileage that's built into them unless they
receive proper attention which means regular inspection.
And to give tires proper attention we must know how
to look for and prevent things that shorten the life of a
tire.
Here is an opportunity for you to get this knowledge
free.
We cordially invite you to visit our store on January
13, and talk with this tire expert.
We know you'll find it time well spent.
