GATES TIRES
“The Tire with The Wider and Thicker Tread”
\
Isn’t It Your Experience—
—that once the rubber tread on a
tire wears thru, the inside fabric
or cords soon get bruised and go
to pieces?
Reasonable, then, that a wider and
thicker tread — wearing longer
and protecting the inside fabric
better—will give you more miles.
That’s just why you are getting
two or three thousand extra miles
out of your Gates Super-Tread
Tires—they are built with the
wider and thicker rubber tread.

Never was a car like Jewett for
performance! It eats hills. Goes 2
miles or 60 in high —all the range
you want. The husky Jewett Six
motor has 249 cubic inches piston
displacement, that’s why. And you
know that piston displacement is
what puts performance in a car.
High-pressure oiling system forcing
2 gallons of oil a minute to all main
and connecting-rod bearings, raean^
smooth running and long life.
Behind this tremendous power is
*'the stufi that goes with it.” Every
part is rugged.rigid and heavvenough
to do anything you want,with never
a comeback or whimper. Chassis is
the finest of its size. Judge its-strength
by Jewett’s weight. 2805 pounds.
Two hundred pounds more than any
:ar its size! The frame staunch and
sturdy is six inches deep. Four big
cross-braces make it stout as a bridge
No fabric universal joints in a
Jewett. They're all steel, with oil
sealed in for a year’s use.
And the axles are all Paige-Tim

clutch, too, makes a hit with women.
Jump your foot off. You can’t jerk the
car nor stall the motor. And for easy
shifting—well, you can change from
high to second at 30 miles per hous.
That’s real handling ease to match
Jewett’s fifty horsepower. And lor
comfort — this husky car rides and
drives like a big Six!

built Six vou can buy for $995! See
