Vffe Vouch for Them
Of dll the tires that are made,
why do you suppose we
prefer to sell United States
Tires?
Because they are made by
the biggest rubber company
in the world. And they know
how to build pood tires.
They have choice of ma
terials, they have immense
facilities, they employ many
exclusive methods.
They can go to greater
lengths in testing, improving
and perfecting the things that
make good tires.
We find it good business to
sell United States Tires.
And you will find it good
business to buy them. They
arc here a tire for every need.
