% What a lot of argument there used
4 to be about a woman driving an
I automobile
TODAY she can “make a
train” or fix a tire as well
as anybody.
As soon as a luxury becomes
. a necessity the point of view
changes. /
U
" Two or three years ago you
would have listened to more
varying opinions about tires,
than you could shake a stick
at '* Mileages, construction,
treads and whatnot
It’s different now. Tire users
are working towards a unani
mous feeling.
You express it one way—
the man down the street
another. But sifted down it
amounts to this:
That the only way to settle
your tire problem is to get a tire III
of known value and stick to it
UI
We recommend and sell
U. S. Tires because their value
known. i
l
There’s no guess about it
It was the U. S. quality
policy which led to the per
fection of the straight - side
automobile tire, the pneumatic
truck tire—two of the groateat
additions to tire value that
have ever been made.
As representatives of the
oldest and largest rubber con
cern in the world, we, are ip a
position to tell you something
about tire values. Come in
some day and talk to us.
