mCUUM GUP TIRES
With this heavy car average as a basis, the light car owner')
expectations of far greater mileage service are easily realized,
for mileage increases as weight decreases.
This assurance of top-notch mileage service i made the more
pronounced by the toughening process developed by us since
the A.G.A. tryout and applied in the construction of 1915 V.C.'s.
This process gives 50 more wear resistance. It also doubles
the effective life of the Vacuum Cups, guaranteed not to skid
on wet or greasy pavements.
As to prices, our new schedule makes Vacuum Cup Tires the
lowest priced tires having any kind of non-skid device added
to a tread of regular thickness. .
