I our Part in the Shattere
rlcFs Record
Likely you were not one of the 40,000 persons who sprang cheering to their feet as
Johnny Aitken's volleying Peugeot, leading a field of 31 starters, shot across the
-finish line in the Astor Cup Race at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway last Saturday.
Likely you were not one of the frantic throng that thundered its tribute tb the
man who had capped the speed -effort of five thousand years who had smashed
every record above 50 miles by driving the 250-mile classic at the astounding rate of
104.66 miles an hour the fastest pace for this distance since the world began.
But more than likely you are one of the three million American Automobile Owners
for whom this brilliant performance and its contributing factors have a direct lesson.
Aitken drove his race, and won it, on Goodyear
Cord Tires.
Rickenbacher, who flashed past the checkered flag in
second position at the wheel of a Maxwell, also rode Goodyear
Cord Tires.
Neither Aitken nor Rickenbacher touched his tires during
the whole course of the race. And two of the tires Aitken
rode were used by him in winning the Cincinnati Sweep
stakes on Labor Day!
Not one of the seven cars wearing Goodyear
Cords in the Astor Cup Race halted an instant
for tire trouble.
Now consider the fact that these Goodyear Cords, incar-

The materials that sustained the hardshin

cord tire we build.

unmerciful pummelingv that can be inflicted upon an auto
mobile tire, is the portion of every Goodyear Cord user.
This is your part in the shattered world's record the
lesson that Goodyear Cord Tires are best for any car, for
your car.
Their spectacular "one-two" victory at Sheepshead Bay
is not an isolated instance of their supermacy. The racing
records of the past few months De Palma's mark at the
rate of 103 miles an hour on a one-mile track at Des Moines,
Rickenbacher's winning in the 300-mile Tacoma event,
Aitken's pace of 97.06 miles an hour in the 300 -mile
Cincinnati Sweepstakes, and so on are formidable vvith
additional proof.

track or road are better.
