Ihe Greatest Values in aFirc
stone Gum-Dipped Tires.
Ever since Firestone and Firestone
Dealers be.ian advertising the true
facts about tire quality and con
struction and actually demon
strating the Extra J'alucs in
Firestone Gum -Dipped Tires,
distributors of special-brand
mail-order tires have grown
bolder and bolder with mislead
ing claims and comparisons in
the desperate effort to interest
car-owners.
Car owners bought more Firestone Tires in May, June and July, than in any like
period in history. This clearly shows that car owners err ! ' rested in Firestone Extra
Values and are not interested in comparisons based on an 'most obsolete tire size
confusing laboratory analyses meaningless dellnitions 1 .practical challenges with
unfair claims of twenty-five per-cent savings and deceiving price comparisons.
Hiy risk a tire of unknown manufacture when you can get the Extra Quality,
Extra Strength, and Extra Safety of the special patented construction features of
Firestone Tires Gum-Dipping, and Two Extra Cord Plies under the Tread?
You get these Extra Values plus our Service and the DOUBLE GUARANTEE of
Firestone and ourselves at no more cost!
