Mere mileage is not a fair measure of a tire's quality. '.
It is comparative mileage that counts the degree to which a
Miller tire will outlast others under like conditions.
So that is what we strive for in every Miller tire we build.
must be better than its rivals,
And we wear out a thousand tires a year in proving to ourselves
that we are living up to our policy and producing a better tire.
On machines specially constructed to give approximate road con
ditions in the Miller factory, stock Miller tires are run side-by-side
with rival tires, 650 miles every twenty-four hours.
In every case the Miller tire must outrun its rival and does.
That's why the Miller Rubber Company has jumped from thirty
second in size to among the first in less than ten years.
That's why men are buying Miller geared-to-the-road tires in all
parts of the country.
That's why Miller dealers are enjoying quick sales.
That's why the Miller factories today are back to full production.
Put Millers on your car. If you are getting a new car insist on
Miller Tires at no extra cost. Twenty-four automobile makers
equip with Millers. v - ' '

Miller Tubes have al'

factor in increasing the
