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.
