of dealing with friends.
From the first, the affairs of this Company have teen
conducted on that principle.
"We sought to obtain friendship by deserving it.
By building into our product downright worth fertile
ground for confidence and respect, the very seeds of
rrienasnip.
We won friends .to Goodyear won them in prodi
gious numbers.
But our purpose continued unchanged, for holding
friends is as important as winning them.
If you will look at a Goodyear tire a Goodyear tube,
or any of the Goodyear accessories, and learn what
they mean in quality, in value, in service, you will
readily understand why the friends who came to us in
the early days are with us still.
If you will try a Goodyear tire on your car, you will
understand why these friends were joined by other
friends month" after month, year upon year, until the
Goodyear clientele became the largest single group
of tire-buyers in the world.
If you will consider the growth of this business, you
will realize the stupendous power of the good word
spoken man to man, of the enthusiastic comment, of
friendliness.
And you realize, too, why we spend upon our prod
uct so much of effort and of money to encourage the
good word, to foster such friendliness.
"a matter of dealing with friends."
Tire-buying will become that to you after your first
Goodyear purchase.
