The question printed in this advertisement, "What Is It Worth To Be Sure?", sets it apart from other tire ads of its time, since it sells peace of mind rather than the tire's looks or price. Goodyear's cord tires used layers of fabric cord beneath the rubber tread, and the company promoted them as a sturdier alternative to earlier tire construction. Automakers and tire makers of this era often leaned on safety and dependability as the country's roads and driving habits changed. The copy is worth reading closely, because it says little about the tire itself and a great deal about the driver's worry over a failure on the road.
