1 I I I I I . I I I nd brings to light sensational evidence of longer non-skid wear tiow Inspector Faurot followed 7,000 mile trail—shadowed salesmen, taxi drivers, farmers took " Bertillon" measurements of treads and proved public is getting 43% more safety-mileage year's great "G-3" FINGERPRINTS are accepted as conclusive evidence in every court in the world—but did you ever hear of a case being proved by footprints ? And tyre w footprints" at that! It was the strangest case ever won by Inspector Joseph Faurot internationally famous "Fingerprint" detective, associate of Scotland Yard, New York and Paris police —the man who introduced the Bertillon System and fingerprinting into America. It was that experience which caused Goodyear to select hiin as the ideal man to track down the facts about its "G-3" All-Weather—to get bona fide evidence of how this tyre was living up to its reputation in the hands of the public. r ls 'G-3 9 cis good as tests indicated?" Maybe you've forgotten how ' r G*3" made a name for itself as the greatest tyre ever budt by Goodyear—on the test fleets—a year ago. How merciless test drivers put it through the most brutal punishment ever given a tyrespeeding up to 50—jamming on the brakesnight and day. In that gruelling grind "G-3" delivered TWICE as long non-skid mileage as any tyre tested against it —43% more than previous Good' years 1 But Goodyear wanted to know if the public, too, was getting this 43 % extra safety-mileage i—because the way people drive makes a big difference in tyre wear. Motorists who "jump" their cars at the getaway and slam on the brakes in stopping may only get one-third to the tyre mileage of a more considerate driver, engineers estimate. Below are sample* of actual lyre "footprint!"—-all showing better than 43% longer non-skid mileage. j 1 iOI 'Mail fev* ■ - ~-- , 4fc' v. J .fir! -'l'm tMM m Inspector Joseph A. Faurot, one of the. world's greatest fingerprint experts, who has worked with London, Paris and New York police in solving many famous mysteries, gets evidence of "G-3's" longer non-skid wear. So Goodyear went to Inspector Faurot with this unprecedented assignment: "Shadow f G-3.' Find out exactly how much mileage it is giving in the hands of all sorts of drivers. Get evidence that would stand up in any court! 9 ' "Footprints" give conclusive evidence Space does not ' p e r m i t telling t j iroU g| l c i t i e s main highways and rough unpaved roads. Nor ' TOW 1C * nterv ' ew " checked their speedometers look "Bertillon" measurements of tread wea# —and brought back "footprints" of their tyres as evidence. But let us look at some typical cases from his fat notebooks, just as he set them down. CASE No. 80^—SALESMAN. Fast driver, covering large territory, all hinds of roads. 30,286 miles on "G-3." Tread still about \feth inch deep. Says "G-3" is giving better than 43% longer non-skid, mileage. CASE No. 2.2—ELECTRICIAN. Looks after mills in six different towns; car in use all the time. 47,666 miles on "G-3"—tread worn smooth. Owner says non-skid wear is 50% better. CASE No. 38—LUMBER BUYER. Travels hilly country, mostly dirt roads. "G-3" mileage 22,161 —still some tread pattern. Estimates "G-3" at least 45% better than previous tyres. CASE No. 7—FARMER. 21,113 miles on "G-3." Still plenty of tread design. Made almost perfect "footprint." Here's what you get in Goodyear's new \ou get the broader road contact of a flatter 9 wider All-Weather Tread* You get quicker-stopping and the greatet road grip of more non-skid blocks in the center. You get the easy steering and smooth travel of wider riding-ribs. You get the slow, even wear of closer• nested non~skid blocks and ribs, ' You get more rubber in the tread—an average of two pounds more per tyre, —all of which adds up to A 007_ MORE NON-SKID MILEAGE 43% at no extra cost to you! CASE No. 93—SALESMAN. Hard driver, haa covered 33,608 miles on "G-3" Tread only slightly worn. Says "G-3" is 50% better. Hundreds more cases might be cited —but they all tell the same story: On any kind of road, in the hands of every type of driver—"G-3" is living up to its reputation and. delivering 43% —or better —non-skid mileage! Only All-Weather Tyres can give you this plus mileage—because only Goodyears have the wider, flatter, heavier "G-3" tread, with traction in the center where you need it for safety —because only Goodyears have exclusive Superlwist Cord construction that makes this sturdier tread possible. That has been proved by Inspector Faurot's evidence—yet with all its extra safety and extra wear, you pay nothing extra for "G-3"! i G-3" COSTS US MORE TO BUILD-BUT COSTS YOU NO MORE TO BUY
