We can show you—and prove to you— that there is a genuine money saving in the use of United States Tires. The extra miles they give mean just so many extra dollars counted in real money*. And there are further actual economies in the saving of gas, oil, repairs and depreciation. The reason of all this is in the tires them selves—their liveliness, ruggedness and sturdiness. There are five United States Tires—a type for every make of car. United States Tires j are Good Tires We KOW United States Tires are good_tires. That’s why we sell them.
