Firestone Tires are different on the inside 4Siey are bnilt with the patented extra process of Gran-Dipping that soaks every cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber, preventing internal friction and neat. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped. When you realize that there were 882,000 automobile accidents in 1934, injuring 954,000 people and killing 36,000, and that 43,000 of these accidents were caused by blowouts, punctures and skidding, you will be more interested in the make of tires you use on your car. Firestone performance records again emphasize the undisputed evidence that Firestone Tires are not only blowout-proof, but give greatest protection against g kidding. There are three questions and answers that will solve the problem of what tires to buy: QUESTION 1 "Will the tread s.ve mea(hc greatest traction and protection against skiddins?" ANSWER Recent tests by a leading University show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 1 5 quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a skid means death. This is undisputed evidence that Firestone giv:s "'car owners greatest protection against skidding. 1 University tcttt show FirsoneTirs stop cars 15 to 25 quicker, , v v v v v u QUESTION S "Are they blowout-proof? ANSYER Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have the most amazing records for being blowout proof of any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 3Cfh, every one of the 33 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. Kelly Petillo won the race and broke the record over this 26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble in fact, not one of the 33 drivers had tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound car on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles in 23Vz hours, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high as 120 without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known, QUESTION 3 "Without sacrificing these two important safety festures will they sive me longer mHeage, thus making them the most ecenomicsl tires I csn buy?" AHSWER Firestone High Speed Tires net only give you more than 50 longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile. This is made possible by the tough, wear-resisting treed built with hio Her shoulders and a wider, flatter contourithis thick, rugged, scientifically designed tread is held securely to the Gum Dipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of ccrds under the tread. This is a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires. 2 Gum-Dipped cords n i v nrnliir hlnwAiit L ii not used in other tires. .
