and entirely unknown and unheard
of outside his own precinct, made his
debut to the shootine came at Balti
more, Md., and in the contest for)
the World's Championship he van
quished a field of the best shots
ever gathered together, and instant
ly ascended the ladder leading to the
topmost ' niche . in the hull of trap-
shooting fame, from which, it is
c: reeded by all, he has never bsen
removed, as, in all the years that
have past, his equal has not ' been
produced, and very likely never will
be. -. - ' '. v..::-
To properly commemorate the
Twentieth Anniversary of Mr. . Gil

ito give the most economical

Recently we conducted a
test by mail to find out what
jobbers and tire dealers had to
say about 1914 Diamond Tire
records. The hundreds of let
ters received from them show
that Diamond Tires have more
than made good. -
These letters from dealers in
all parts of the country, show that
Diamond Tires in 1914 established
a service record which stands
supreme. We have put these let
ters into a book. They furnish con

Diamond users get and the free

wallop! and we want you to have
a copy.
