First Nylon Cord Tubeless Tire -- The Firestone 500 -- Developed By Company The first tubeless tire to be developed with high-strength cord thus combining the safety features of tubeless tire con struction with the extra strength of the nylon cord was announce 25th by Lee R. Jackson, President of The Firestone Tire & iCubber ^ Company. Rubber compounds and new^uous » construction features which this year proved themselves capable of withstanding the hottest and one of the fastest 500-mile races ever run a+ . races ever at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway have been incorporated in this tire which has been approp riately named the “Firestone 500.” **The new ‘Firestone 500’ is def initely the safest tire ever de veloped with nylon cord,” said Mr. Jackson. “And it is the first tire specifically designed for contin- and greater safety. This is the third of the tubeless passenger car tire lines which Firestone has introduced. The “Firestone 500” will be offered at a price slightly above that of the lowest - priced rayon DeLuxe Champion tubeless tire which Fire stone has been producing for the last year.

Firestone Textiles had a window in Maxwell Brothers Morris furniture store, as partially shown above. The exhibit was designed to feature the Firestone Supreme Tire and the fabrics from which it—and other Firestone tires—is built. Fabrics exhibited included nylon tire fabric, rayon tire fabric, and cotton enameline duck. Yarns from the Sales Yarn Department on display included samples of knitting, warp, and plied yarns on dytex tube, cone, and Franklin spring put-ups.
