Show Tax Collector Wins Bet From Champ In a famous New York cafe the morning after his decisive victory over "Man Mountain," according to Vearl A. Peterson, local Goodrich dealer, a group of admirers surrounded sur-rounded World Champion Max Baer. To amuse them, Max picked up half an orange, and engulfing it in a mighty paw, squeezed out of it a sau-cerful sau-cerful of juice. Then he laid the orange down and, addressing the group, offered a dollar a drop to the man who could squeeze five drops more. No one stirred no one except a weazened, eagle-eyed little fellow who wriggled his way to the center, of the spectators, picked up the or- j ange, and squeezed out, not five drops, but fifteen. The onlookers were amazed so was Max. "How did you do it?" the heavyweight asked. "Are you a professional strong man?" "No," the little fellow ans-j wered, "I am an income-tax col-lector!" col-lector!" This incident brings to mind the "compression" principle Goodrich uses as the puncture-sealing feature of Goodrich air containers "it's the squeeze that counts" the hole left by a puncturing object is squeezed out, permitting no air to escape. How Goodrich tire engineers solved this age-old riddle of placing rubber under un-der compression and holding it there is an interesting story. But it's only one of the many "reasons why" for the outstanding performance of Goodrich Good-rich air containers. |
