THE GOODRICH SUPER-GUARANTEE A Goodrich Black Safety Tread Tire carries with it in the market an unwritten SUPER-GUARANTEE that it is the best fabric tire, the largest, oldest, most resourceful rubber manufacturer can produce. The very name of Goodrich pledges it to the best service a fabric tire can give style, comfort, freedom from tire trouble, and mileage. The buyer takes no risk with it. It must return the high service Goodrich demands of it, or Goodrich Fair Treatment steps in, and squares the account. Only the user himself can prevent a Gpodrich tire from rounding out the best dollar for dollar service by his failure to bring back a Goodrich tire that has failed him. THE B. F.
