Tire Price Reductions
Announced by Western
Auto; Tire Guarantees
Lengthened
■ ■ •.—
P. E. Connor, Western Auto
’'ice President in charge of mer
chandise. today announced im
portant price reductions on Davis
Tires distributed by Western Auto
Stores and Western Auto Associ
ate Stores.
“In spite of slightly higher
costs” says Mr, Connor, “we are
reducing prices un our Davis De
luxe and Davis Safety-Grip tires.
This is one of Western Auto’s
most important contributions to
President Truman’s anti-inflation
program. We also believe our
‘ ' —!— reduce.— . 1_
.uhuiiuvu.ij ™iitid because 11
American car owners can con
tinue to d’''vi» thoi" cars at
present rate, the loss of profit will
be taken care of by increased tire
purchases.” - j
“We have also lengthened the
guarantee period on our Davis
Safety-Grip and Super - Safety
tires” said Mr. Connor. “This re
flects the important improve
ments that scientists and manu
facturers have been able to make
in the quality and construction of
Davis Tires.”
Jn an interview, Mr. W. J. Mill
er .owner of Western Auto Asso
ciate Store said. “While Mr. Con
nor’s announcement caught me
completely by surprise, I’m glad
that I am in the position to pass
these savings and other important
benefits on to the people of WU
