It is significant that all of the ?n money winners in the Indianapolis race were irestone shod. Firestone, using gum-dipping and other special processes, has developed tires •o such a high degree of efiiciency that at Indian- ■polis, Msy 30th, the following drivers broke the world’s record for 500 miles over thi ' brick track, making many rounds at over 100 miles per hour. Never before were tires put to such gruelling service, where it was necessary for every ounce of rubber and every fibre of fabric to work in perfect unison with every other part.

Scores of unso- Bcited testimonials emphasize the long mileage Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords deliver—which boilds leadership in service, safety and economy. Firestone for years has been first to develop tire» and rims complete which would meet the heavy trucking loads, great strains and demand for trac tion. By originating and carrying forward the Ship by Truck movement, and establishing Ship by Truck bureaus in all large cities, Firestone helped to speed up highway transportation a nA reduce costs. Balicon Tire Leadership Firestone's latest contribution to motoring is tho low air pressure or Balloon Tire. This, the original full size Balloon, was made practical by the special Firestone Gum-Dipping process, in sulating every fibre of each cord, adding great strength an ' stamina. Firestone has also simpli fied the aprlication of full-size Balloon tires to your preset: t car by designing a special unit con sisting of tires, tubes, rims and spokes applied by any dealer at a very low cost. Leadership Against British - Rubber Restriction Act Attacking the unsound and uneconomic character of the British Pubber Restriction Act limiting the exportation of rubber from the Far East, Firestone was the ons large tire manufacture to take up the cause for the car owner. Soon after the agitation was started for America to produce rubber under its own control, the coat of crude rubber was reduced and tire prices brought back to normal. Dealer Leadership Through Tire Quality and Service The largest taxicab companies in the five largest cities in the United States use Firestone Gum- Cords exclusively. One fleet alone, the Cab Co. of Chicago, uses over one-half million tire miles per day. SKÍ Through Firestone dealers you can obtain or ganized service and the soundest values on tbo market, whether you need a Ford 30 x 3>/i Fabric, a set of full-size Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords or a 10-inch truck tire.
