Remember this, the next time you are driving along at 40, SO, 60 miles an hour. The heat generated inside your tires at these speeds is terrific- causing rubber and fabric to separate. A tiny blister forms —grows bigger and BIGGER until sooner or later, BANG! It’s a blow-out. But an amazing new inven­ tion, the Life-Saver Golden Ply, resists this heat so that mbber and fabric do not separate— blisters do not form—thus this unseen cause of high speed blow-outs is checked before it even gets started. The only tire in the world that has Golden Ply blow out protec­ tion is the ■ Goodrich Silvertown —yet it costs no more thah other standard tires. When thousands are killed or injured ’every year in blow-out accidents don’t you want this kind of protection? I I. Goodrich _ SAFETY Silvertown WITH LIFE-SAVER COLDEH PLY C. N.
