ninr. And yet an anti-skis', when noscUol,
with a bulldog grip.
It is doublo-thick, and made of rubber toufchened
by n secret process. Immensely vrearTeslstinR,
So thick that tbe blocks are very dop. Bo tough
that the blocks last for thousands ol miles. They never
all wear off.
Tho surfaces are flat and broad. Tbo block are
In alignment. So It runs llko a plain tread. NoTifcfA
Hon as there is with lrregutar projection.
Tho edges are sharp and they stay aha. They are
S aced nt an angle of u degreed to face tno skiddlsg
irectlon. No other devico has ever offerod luob
tenacious Riip to every sort of road.
The blocks widen out so they meet at tbe base.
Thus the strains nre distributed over tho fabric just as
with smooth-tread tires. With separate projections
the strains are centered at small points In the fabric.
That is what made anti-skids short-lived.
Yet this All-Weather tread, with all these advant-
ages, cusis less man mo
average anti-skid.
No man who makes a
five-minute comparison will
accept an old-type anti-skid.
And no careful motorist.
