On January 13, 1920, a special factory representative of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company will be here at cur store to meet our patrons and talk with them about TIRE CONSERVATION. We used to expect a tire tolast out its full life without any particular care. But now we are all learning that even the best of tires won't give all the mileage that's built into them unless they receive proper attention which means regular inspection. And to give tires proper attention we must know how to look for and prevent things that shorten the life of a tire. Here is an opportunity for you to get this knowledge free. We cordially invite you to visit our store on January 13, and talk with this tire expert. We know you'll find it time well spent. The Secrest Motor Co. County Dealers for CHEVROLET, OAKLAND SIX.
