INSIST
on the Inside Facts
For Your Protection Make These Com
parisons Before You Buy Your Tires
T TNDERNEATH the surface is where you
get the cold truth about tire values. It's
the inside of the tire the method of con
struction and the quality and quantity of
materials that determines it$ Stamina,
Performance, Safety, VALUE. You can no
more tell the quality of a tire hy its outside
appearance than you can tell the character
of a man by the kind of clothes he wears.
We have arranged to show you cross sections of Fire
stone and special brand mail order tires. You can come here
and make your own comparisons, uninfluenced by any sales
propaganda. We urge you to thoroughly
check evr-rj vital point rubber volume,
weight, width, thickness, and plies under
the tread. Then buy accordingly ON
FACTS AND FACTS ALONE. Against the
various claims presented about different
tires, isn't this the most logical suggestion
ever made to vou? Could there be any more
positive way to definitely determine which tires offer you the
most for your money? There can be no question or con
troversy when you get the FACTS yourself.

A "Special Brand" Tire is made by a manufacturer for distributors
such as mail order houses, oil companies and others, under a name
that does not identify the tire manufacturer to the public, usually be
cause he builds his "first line" tires under his own name. Firestone
puts his name on every tire he makes.
All we ask is this: Gome in to our Service Stores and
see for yourself sections cut from various tires.
