516 ACCESSORY NEWS SECTION Vol. 14. No. 3 Re the "Tire -Tax" on -Gasolene E VERY time the Gasolene Tank, on your Car, is filled up — think of this: — If the Tank holds, say, 20 Gallons, — and the price is 30 cents per Gallon, — reflect that FIVE of these Gallons are consumed, not by the MOTOI^,— but by your FABRIC Tires. Of the $6.00 you pay for 20 Gallons, 25%,— ( )r $1.50), — is practically poured over your Tires, instead of i)do your Tank, — WASTED! These Five Gallons of Gasolene constitute a sort of "TAX," levied by Circumstance, against the Man who does not live up to his Oppoi tunities, — vvho fails to investigate Silvertown Cord Tire records. If he did investigate these Records, — and Test out Residts for himself, — he could verify the follow^ing Facts, and PROFIT by them: — SILVERTOWN Cord Tires have only TWO Layers. These Two Layers are of giant CORDS, instead of the 5 to 7 Layers of Cotton Cloth in Fabric Tires, or of Cotton Threads in other (so-called) "Cord" Tires. TWO Latjers of Cords BEND 4 times, to 6 times, more FLEXIBLY, than 5 to 7 Layers of Fabric or Thread rubber cemented together into a stiff, unyielding "Muscle-bound" Carcass. This wonderful ''Flexibility'' is what gives such wonderful RESILIENCE, — and such slight Traction -Wave-resistowce to Motor-power, — that Silvertown Cord Tires are, through it, enabled to do this: — ■ — Coast dowrf-hill 30% further and faster. — Travel 25% further on each Gallon of Gas. — Add 17% more Speed, to same Motor. — Ride with 50'/o less Vibration. — Be IQ'/o LESS liable to Stone-bruise, Puncture, or Blow-out. SILVERTOWNS are the easiest of all Tires to permanently Repair, — the most Luxurious to ride upon, — the mo^t Aristocratic in appearance. You are paying for Silvertowns NOW (without getting them),— in your GASOLENE bills! THE B. F. GOODRICH CO., Akroit, O.
