Only a few years ago a 32 x 4
cord tire listed over $50.00. 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. For ex
ample, why do some people still believe that there is
something mysteriously "better" about "eastern" motor
oils merely because they cost more and aremade in
the east?
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. That's why Zero
lene is successfully lubricating more cars in the Pacific
Coast states high priced and low than anyother oil
made. " .... .
Zerolene will increase the gasoline mileage, reduce the' ! ;
carbon removal operations and maintenance costs and ',
lengthen tho life of any car in which it is'used.! ' ;
. Made from Scccfcd Nuphticni'c Crude
Zerolene will do the same for your car. It is made
from selected western naphthenic base crude (the best
crude so far discovered for the manufacture of motor lub
ricants) by our high vacuum process, cheched IS times
for quality, and specially filtered through 40 tons of
Florida Fuller's Earth to give you an oil that's absolutely
pure and safe.
Why pay tribute to a superstition? Insist on Zerolene.
