And automobile manufacturers, knowing its outstanding performance, have adopted it for their new 1939 models. On every hand you hear, "It's the most effective tire we have ever had on wet pavement and in mud and snow!" It's the hit of 1939! it. The . Firestone Champion" Tire is a completely new achievement in safety engineering and the result of a new and revolutionary means of locking greater safety into the cord body of a tire. This is accomplished first, by the use of a new type of tire cord called "Safety-Lock," in which the cotton fibers are more compactly interwoven to give greater strength. And then the fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and the plies themselves are all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping, which provides amazingly greater strength and greater strength , means greater safety fcV The new Safety-Lock coiyl construction gives the added Strength that makes possible the use of the new thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Gr4p Tread, which provides remarkably longer non-skid mileage. This sensational new tread is called "Gear-Grip" because of its unique design which has more than three thousand sharp-edged angles that grip the road with a sure-footed hold to protect against skidding and to assure a safe stop Come uTtoday' and equip your car with a set of new Firestone Champion Tires, the only tires made that are safety proved on the speedway for your protection on the highway 11 u , " iv u u x V'- ifvr--f VX v r ft XflW Q x- ' 1" v V x f - AO JENKINS World1 Safest Driver Ab Jenkins, holder of 87 world records for safety, speed and endurance, who has driven more than a million and a half miles on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires without an accident, says, "On the speedway or on the highway,.
