What you’re looking at
This page contains primarily **advertising and light verse, not political satire**. The main content is a **Goodyear tire advertisement** promoting their new "No-Rim-Cut" tires, which the company claims have sold enough units to equip 55,000 cars in six months. The ad includes technical diagrams comparing their tire design to competitors', emphasizing advantages like preventing rim-cutting and being 10% oversize. The left side features **"Rhymed Reviews," a serialized romantic adventure poem** by Beatrice Grimshaw about an Irish trader named Hugh Lynch in New Guinea. The plot involves Lynch marrying a local woman named Kari, who elopes with another trader; Lynch then marries a governor's daughter named Stephanie, gets imprisoned for murder, and becomes a hermit—while Stephanie later seeks him out. The verse is lighthearted colonial-era fiction, not satire. There are also **small advertisements** for a French Bull Dog kennel and the Chicago Automobile Club Journal. This is primarily a **commercial publication page**, not editorial commentary.

That's six times the record of two years ago. Think what that means. Think how many motor car makers—how many motor car owners—have adopted this new-type tire. About 650,000 are already in use. The reason is, these tires can’t rim-cut. And they are 10% oversize. Men have proven, ten thousand times over, that they cut tire bills in two. Goodyear No-Rim-Cut Tire No-Rim-Cut tires fit any standard rim for quick- | detachable tires. Also demountable rims. The | removable rim flanges are simply slipped to the op- posite sides when you change from clincher tires. ‘Then these flanges curve outward, as shown in the picture. The tire when deflated comes against a rounded edge, and rim-cutting is made impossible. With the old-type tire—see the opposite picture— these removable rim flanges must be set to curve in- ward. The thin edge of the flange then digs into the tire. Thus punctured tires are often ruined beyond repair in running a single block. No-Rim-Cut tires have no hooks on the base. They do not, like clinchers, need to be hooked to the rim. Not | even tire bolts are needed. The reason lies in the tapes of 126 braided wires which we vulcanize into the tire base. base unstretchable.

He served his term, escaped the fetter And, vainly seeking peace of mind, Became a hermit sago-getter. But Stephanie did not forget; In time her cheek of alabaster Was stained with tears of pure regret ; She went to seek her lord and master With one of Lynch's former pals. The fate they found was nearly tragic; They met a bunch of cannibals A-making “ Sempsi,” which is Magic. No-Rim-Cut Tires With or Without Non-Skid Treads 55,000 Cars Equipped With No-Rim-Cut Tires That’s the Half-Year’s Record to July First cannot come off without removing the flange, because no possible force can stretch it over the flange. This braided wire feature is controlled by our patents. Others have tried twisted wires—others a single wire. But no other device yet invented makes a practical tire of this type. There is no other safe hookless tire. Ordinary Clincher Tire The No-Rim-Cut tire has an extra flare, due to the outward curve of the rim flanges. This enables us to fit the rim and still make the tire 10 per cent. oversize. And we do it—without extra charge. This means 10 per cent. more air—10 per cent. added carrying capacity. And that, with the aver- age car, adds 25 per cent. to the tire mileage. This added 10 per cent. takes care of the extras. It avoids the overloading which, with clincher tires, is almost universal. It saves blow-outs. These two features together—No-Rim-Cut and oversize—under average conditions, cut tire bills in two. The records they make are amazing. Yet they cost the same as standard clincher tires—tires that rim-cut, tires just rated size. The saving is entirely clear. Those are the reasons why men who know are demanding ‘the Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire. Our Tire Book — based on 12 years of tire making —is filled with facts you should know. Ask us to mail it to you.
