“Victory Celebration Monday Evening. In view of the great allied victories which have changed the whole aspect of the war and thrilled the allied world with the assurance of ultimate victory and early peace Mayor Platt is arranging for a civic celebration Monday evening in which all citizens can express their joy as loudly as they wish. The band will furnish patriotic music and an appropriate program will be arranged.

“Best in the Long Run. Every Inch a Soldier. Veteran of road travel, tried and true as the veteran of war, is the Goodrich Silvertown Cord Tire.
It has seen active service, and has always seen it through with victory and honor. In peace or war, it is a tire of Goodrich SERVICE VALUE, rendering the utmost comfort, economy, dependability and mileage to the motorist on his car and on the road.
Its war service is real. Ambulances today are carrying the wounded with less pain for being equipped with the tires of LESS jolt and jar—
Aviators, finding the Spiral-Wrapped, Cable-Cord tire saves their machines from shock, have adopted Silvertowns for war planes.
