KORKER INSURES PROPER INFLATION OF TIRES.
NO LOSS OF AIR FROM A HUNDRED NAILS
We have a tire that has withstood more than 100 incisions of nails during the past two months
and the tire has not been inflated since. Not only have we tested KorKer to our own satisfaction
but we have investigated the preparation and find that some of the biggest concerns in the country
have been using it successfully for nearly two years. It is a tonic that when injected into the inner
tube acts automatically when a foreign substance enters the compressed air chamber thus sealing the
"wound" instantly and permanently.

Mr. E. F. Aydlett, Jr.,
Dear Sir:
I wish to speak a word in favor
of Kor-Ker Puncture Cure. I had
an old Inner tube that I have been
using for twelve months, when it de
veloped a leak yiat I could not stop.
I had It worked on four different
times but could not keep it inflated
longer than twenty four hours. About
two weeks ago I used Kor-Ker Punc
ture Cure and it stopped the leak at
once and 1 have not had any trouble
with it since.
I take pleasure in necommending it
to owners of automobiles.
Yours very trulv,

a trader who was held in high
regard by them because of his
