SUPREME QUALITY IS II GDODYEARFEATURE That tlie tremendous popularity -which Goodvear truck tires, are . enjoying throughout the intcrrnountain country is only a.-natural consequence of their supreme su-preme quality is the opinion of L. C. Bennett, Ben-nett, manager of the Rubber Products company, Goodyear Service Station at. i:'0 East Second South street, Salt Lake City. In commenting on this matter, Mr. Bennett Ben-nett said: "The tremendous mileages which Good-year Good-year solid and cushion truck tires are rolling up in this section are making It difficult to maintain a stock sufllcient to meet the demand. . "The tough, resilient rubber which Goodyear has perfected and put into its tires is unusually well adapted to the roads of tills intermountain country; whereas a hard, brittle rubber will chip and crack on rough, stony roads, this Goodvear rubber will absorb the shocks and wear down smooth and evenly. "On mv visit to southern Idaho last week in the interests uf Goodyear truck tires, I found that over CO per cent of the solid tires in use In Pocalello were Good-years. Good-years. Up at Blaokfoot I found Goodyear solids which had been In service over two years: and. so it goes. "In fact, it is these records of great service and value which have induced the high-grade truck companies, Much as Packard, GMC, International Harvester and others, to put Goodyear truck tires on their trucks. "It will probably be of interest to many to know that the largest truck tiro ever put on a truck In tills part of the country coun-try was applied by the Rubber Produc ts company during the last week. This took the form of a 10xS dual tire, making in all n tire sixteen Inches wide. This immense im-mense equipment was placed on a truck belonging to .1. B. Walker and engaged in hauling silica from the county silica beds to Murray. "This lire is guaranteed for five tons carrying canaeity and costs U29.80 per wheel It Is a wonderful tribute to Goodyear Good-year quality, we think, that Mr. Walker, an experienced truck tiro buyer, should decide to invest Hum large sum of money In Goodyear truck tires."
