They cannot be repaired except by an expert at the shop. All the Good Points Are Found in the Goodyear Tires. All the Defects Eliminated The Goodyear Long Distance Electric Tire embodies the good points of all these tires and eliminates all their defects, It is made froma pure gum e makes it as clastic dd resilient ew rub- yer band. This supremely elastic rubber is built up over a tough fabric of special weave which gives back and forth in every direction. Thus full play is given to the springy rubber and the air inside the tire. 0, when Goodyear Long Distance Electric Tires are used, every road becomes a boule- vard. The tire gives in to every pebble, stone or obstruction—the car does not have to he lifted—the batteries give full mileage on all roads. The saving is enormous. When punctures come, the tire can be re- moved from the Goodyear Universal Rim and ired, or a new inner tube put in place in a few minutes without special tools, It's so simple that a woman can do it easily. And in durability and tire mileage the Long Distance Electric will outlast all but the solid tire. These are FACTS. We know it from tests made by hundreds of car owners and by practically every Electric Vehicle manufac- turer. We present several such tests. find them convincing. mpound which You will Babcock Electric, Fitted with Goodyear Tires, Breaking the Record in the Fort George Hill Climb.
