household duties.
She gets run down and becomes nervous and
irritable, downhearted and discouraged, can’t rest at
night, and gets up in the morning feeling as tired as when she went to bed.

We ate getting closer to the day when new tires will be available for all.
But . . * unless you are rated as an essential driver, you are still dependent
on conservation of present rubber to keep your car in service* Most premature
tire failure is the result of neglect * ♦ . air pressures are not checked weekly;
cuts, bruises and slow leaks are not repaired in time* The sure way to avoid
trouble is to see your Goodyear dealer regularly.
Since tire restrictions started, thousands of Canadian tnotorists have learned
to appreciate the full meaning of Goodyear dealer conservation service* You
can rely on your Goodyear dealer* He is trained in factory-approved methods
for inspecting, repairing and vulcanizing. He is guided by the experience gained
by Goodyear in building millions more tires than any other tire manufacturer
