IN all of modern merchandising
the biggest conundrum is the
fabric tire situation. '
Around 70 of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct for quality is as
btrong and insistent as any one
-Ise 's.
Why, then, are they offered
such hodge-podge stocks of "dis
count tires,""odd lots,""seconds,"
"retreads" and other so-called
bargains of uncertain origin?
Sooner or later the public al
ways seeks out quality. As a
matter of self-protec tion if for
no other reason. The out-and-out
opinion in favor of U. S. Fabric
Tiles hus spread more this year
than it ever did.
People have gotten very cloaj to
the U.S. policy. Felt it. Benefited
by it. And passed the word along.
It's a policy settled to onestand
ard for alt U. S. Tires. Whether
fabrics or cords. Small sica or
large.
Giving to the fabric tire user
fresh, live tires. Being made
now. Being shipped now.
All the original U. S. vitality
and ser vcecomes through w hea
you buy a U. S. Fabric Tire.
"Usco," "Chair.," "Nobby."
Three different treads.
Built by the same brains, the
same policy, the same quality
ideals that have made U. S.

ure of tire worth.
