The Whole Secret of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter of the Maker's Policies
This you will realize once you
try a Brunswick that a super-tire
is possible only whoa the name
certifies that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter of standards and policies coat
plus care. Any maker can build a
good lire if he cares to pay per
fection's price.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products) have
been famuuj for 74 years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Rcintorcc
ments, plies and thickness arc a
matter of expense. And these vari
ations affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go how much he can afford
to give.
For there arc no yccrets nor pat
cuts to Dolu one back.

To acccrtain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tiresas our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter of combining
the best features and building ac
cording to the highest standards.
' Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless o factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other like-type tires. 'Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nation-wide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
