Today, you can buy the highest quality 32 x 4 tire a Firestone Gum Dipped Cord for about $26.00. Last spring crude rubber cost tire makers around 40 cents a pound. Today, it is over 90 cents a pound. It was not so long ago that 7,500 miles represented the average life of a cord tire, while today, 15,000 miles and more is only the usual performance for a Firestone Gum-Dipped Cord. Due to large, concentrated pro duction, specialized machinery and simplified factory methods, together with economical distribution. Fire stone is able to keep tire prices low no matter where the price of cruae ruDDer goes. . And, because of special Firestone processes, chief among which is Gum-Dipping, motorists are today getting thousands of extra miles by using Gum-Dipped Cords. Gum-Dipping is an exclusive method used by Firestone. It is an extra process, carried out in special Gum-Dipping plants, after which the cords are put through the usual calendering machines. Gum -Dipping insulates and impregnates every fiber of every cord with rub ber, and practically eliminates in ternal friction and heat, and builds strength and endurance into the tire. In the day-in and day-out serv ice of taxicabs, buses and trucks on the cars of hundreds of thou sands of motorists everywhere Gum-Dipped Cords are giving unheard-of mileage, dependability and satisfaction. Get ready for the coming months ot slippery pavements and bad roads. Assure yourself of greater safety, comfort and economy by equipping now with Firestone Full Size Gum-Dipped Balloons. "ERGDOTUS, the ancient geographer and his torian, thought so. We moderns know better, . but some of us are still superstitious.

Oil Superstition Fait Losing Qrotmcl 3 Zerolene costs less because it's made in the West but that doesn't mate it better; it's better because in practice it actually lubricates better.
