it might be called the $73,000,000 tire,
for it is possible only because of the entire re
sources of the Firestone Company.
BUT $7,000,000 is what has gone directly into this
new, vast Firestone factory that is devoted exclu
sively to the making of this tire and the tubes to
match. The main plant is now concentrating on
Cords and big sizes.
16,000 TIRES and 20,000 tubes, all 3-inch
size, is the daily capacity of this new factory. This
plant is years in advance in its mechanical efficiency.
Jnto it has gone the thinking, planning, the spirit
' of service that distinguishes the entire Firestone
organization. Its methods and machinery were
developed by Firestone men
FIRESTONE HAS STEPPED FAR AHEAD
in engineering practice and you get the benefit.
The labor saving equipment of this factory cuts
costs on every operation from 10 to 30.
AND THE MAN POWER of this plant is as
far in advance of the ordinary as is the mechanical
efficiency. The Firestone organization is the talk
of men in big industry everywhere.
THE FACT THAT 90 of Firestone workers
own stock in the Company is an index to their
interest in their work. Their superior skill, their
spirit of service, is stimulated by their financial
interest in winning you as a customer.
AT EVERY TURN Firestone thinKs and plans
to .give you the most for your money, knowing
that this is the surest method of obtaining the
greatest demand. Every move Firestone makes
is toward this end mileage at lowest cost.
NEVER HAS FIRESTONE, NOR ANY
tire maker, offered car owners so much as they are
offered now. Ask your dealer.
