ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER
WOODROW DOWNS HAS BEEN
USING FIRESTONE RE-CAPS ON
HIS TRUCKS FOR MORE THAN
THREE YEARS
. . . AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT
THEM ...
I am in the gravel-hauling business and operate trucks thou
sands of miles every year over all kinds of roads and in every
kind of weather condition. For the past three years 1 have used
Firestone re-caps on the trucks and have never had any trouble
with them. In my opinion, they just can't be beat and I should
know! They are entirely dependable in any weather ? snow,
sleet, rain or shine. For long mileage and low cost you just
can't find any better re-caps than those by Firestone.
IF YOU TRY EM - YOU'LL
ALWAYS BUY EM!
WHEN YOUR TIRES NEED CAPPING, SEE US . . .
WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO ADD ANOTHER
SATISFIED CUSTOMER TO OUR LONG LIST.
