It is so frank, clear and convincing that it is reprinted here by the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. Pathfinder-a -a Goodyear Tire12-months Guarantee PLUS -extra value- lower price and 2-cord "Breaker-Strips" sometimes called "EXTRA CORD 'PLIES' UNDER THE TREAD" at Lower Prices than tires we believe to be comparable in quality Pathfinder- -the lower-priced Goodyear Tire -has four true cord plies which extend across the tire, right down the sides and around both "beads," the groups of wires which hold the tire on to the rim. In addition the Pathfinder has two cord "breaker-strips," and has had for years. A breaker-strip is a band of fabric narrower than a ply, in fact it is just under the centre or tread of the tire. It is, of course, not a ply, in the generally-accepted language of the tire industry.

It is simply a shock-absorber under that part of the tire which has to absorb most shocks. All good tires have breaker-strips. Thereore, breaker-strips are not "extra plies." The regular Pathfinder, therefore, is not a 6-ply tire. Nor is it a "Heavy Duty" tire. Were we to suggest or imply that it is either, we should be misleading you.

Naturally we prefer to advertise and sell the regular Pathfinder for what it is four-ply tire with 2 cord breaker-strips. If you need 6-ply tires you must buy genuine Heavy Duty Tires. Your Goodyear dealer can show you two different six-ply tires at slightly higher prices. Each is clearly marked "Heavy Duty." But -if a regular tire meets your needs -buy the standard Pathfinder! Its service record stamps it as the equal or better of most tires selling for more. GOOD EAR NINE Opposes Limiting Wheat Acreage Argentine Grain Exchange Petitions Govt.

Not to Enter Agreement. (Associated Press.) BUENOS AIRES, May grain exchange at Rosario, representing the rich northern Argentine wheat belt, petitioned the governtoday to reject international agreement to limit wheat acreage or export as contrary to the national interests. The petition said Argentina has not contributed to overproduction since the area sown to wheat during the last three years was seven per cent under the average of the period 1924-28. The petition asserted it is unjust and unreasonable that a country whose economy is based on agriculture should compromise with the nations "which created the evil by high tariffs."
