Easterling, Secretary of the Commission. NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Having qualified as Administrator of the estate of J. C. Nowell, de ceased, late of Chowan County, North Carolina, this is to notify the OCEAN \ In THE Firestone Standard Tire, you get extra value in the form of extra safety . It costs more money to build a safer tire. But Firestone can build a first-quality tire made of top grade materials and sell it for less money, because Firestone controls rubber and cotton supplies at their sources, manufactures with greater efficiency and distributes at lower cost. YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION AGAINST BLOWOUTS eight extra pounds of rubber are added to every 100 pounds of cord by the Firestone patented Gum-Dipping process. By this process every fiber of every cord in every ply is saturated with liquid rubber. This counteracts dangerous internal friction and heat that ordinarily cause blowouts. YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION AGAINST PUNCTURES because under the tread are two extra layers of Gum-Dipped cords. YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION AGAINST SKIDDING —because the tread is scientifically designed. YOU GET LONGER NON-SKID MILEAGE because of the extra tough, long-wearing tread. You need all of these features to make your car tire-safe on your week-end or vacation trip. Firestone gives them to you at lower cost. Join the Firestone SAVE A LIFE Campaign today by equipping your car with a set of new Firestone Standard Tires today’s top tire value.
