Goodrich tire, test cars were driven steadily at sixty miles per hour, hour after hour, avenging over 4 thousand miles a day inall kinds of weather. Side by side on the wheels of these ‘cars were prewar tires and the new B. F. Goodrich tires. Tires were shifted from wheel to whee! so that both took the same beating. ‘The new B. F. Goodrich Silver- towns outran the prewar tires— showed less tread wear—were good for thousands of extra miles. JUNE 1946 ‘Why? Because the new tire has a wider, flaecer tread that puts more rubbet on the ground, spreads the wear over a greater area. The tire body, or carcass, is stronger, too ...made that way by using tougher cords and more of them. There are your reasons why the new B. F. Goodrich tire has stood up better both in test runs and in actual service on taxi fleets and police cars. Your tire worries are definitely over when you get a set of new B. F. Goodrich Silvertowns—the tires that have proved they will out- ‘wear prewar tires. Supplies are still a bie limited, but we're making and shipping these new B. F. Goodrich tires in greater volume every day and will have much larger quantities in the hands of most dealers soon. Place an order with your dealer today. The B. P.

There are many reasons why this is so, but the end results are contained in the record books on racing—on land, water and in the air. They show that Champions are true champions, in fact as well as in name—a fact worth remembering when you need spark plugs for your Champion Spark Plug Company,Popular Mechanics Magazine Registered in U. 8.

Increases Production The Portable Gaston Grinder is designed for the grinding and sanding of metal—also, with wire brushes, for paint and rust re- moval. Because it is powered by a 3-phase motor, without brushes, commutators or gears, the Gaston will give long service. The Gaston Grinder starts at full speec Its speed remains con- stant regardless of extra pressure by the operator. This con- trolled speed under heavy load, eliminates glazing of the grinding wheel; produces a better ground surface. Three sizes of dust-tight Gaston Grinders are available. Fur- nished in either “cup-wheel” or “edge-wheel” type, as desired. In a dusty work atmosphere, that causes throat and dryness, chewing Wrigley's Spearmint Gum helps keep workers’ mouths moist and fresh—thereby reducing work iaterruptions— and “time out” to the drinking fountain. Workers can stay at their machine, while chewing Wrigley’s Spearmint—even when their hands are busy. There is 20 lost time. And the pleasant chewing helps keep them alert and wide- awake.

This long angle overcomes fill- ing up—kecps file cutting and avoids scratch- ing the surface of the work.
