It is one of the best known tires in Amelia* Its has been sold by Ward’s for nineteen consecutive year*. Mif-j lions of Riversides are in 4ise today. It is backed by a g without limit as to time or mileage. Other fine tires equal in quality to our Riversides arc I n High Speed. Goodvear All Weather and Goodrich Silt Cords . . . but these tire.1! arc much higher priced than sides. The table at the left gives you a suc-for-size comparison. Having studied that price comparison there remains onlyfaM question for you to ask . . . ''Are Riverside tires really argood as these other tires with which they are compared?” Montgomery Ward SC Co. has been in business for sixty yeaeu. It is one of the largest and oldest merchandise’ institution*;!!*' the world. It is the originator of’the "Satisfaction Gus or Your Money Back” guarantee. It depends for its not only on tires, but $|o on some 40,000 other items oft chandise which it wishes to sell to you. Isn’t it reasonaUele believe therefore that Ward’s MVS / be telling the truth; it makes these direct statements to you? It is of the quality similar to such other nationally knowtl^pec ondlinc” tires as Firestone Oldfield. Goodyear Pathfindery-aad Goodrich Cavalier. And it, too, sells for LESS than other/sec ond-Tmc tires ... as the table at the lower left indicates. This combination of quality-nnth-lowest* price which is offeteti bv Ward's ^eems to have made some of our competitors very envious (especially Firestone dealers) so they are making aac I publishing misleading and inaccurate statements about "Mail Order’’ tires. But they do NOT compare their first quality tires with our Riversides . . . and their second-line tirei vritb our Trail Blazers . . . for they know that to do so would im mediately indicate how very much lover Ward's tires mt priced. So these alarmed competitors have, cunningly enough, priced their ’'second-line'’ tires at exactly our first quality Riverside prices . . . and then they print incomplete com parison tables which arc intended to make people believe that their prices, quality for quality, are the same as ours. Well,' they are NOT! (See tables at the left.) And the chart directly below shews how Ward's Trail Blazers compare in quality as vrll as in price with other nationally known second-line igtA.
