FOR years R. J. Stokes, Chief Pro
duction Engineer of the Thennoid
Rubber Company, has been design
ing and building machine-made casings.
, He knows just how much mileag'e
machines can put into casings.
Mr. Stokes, four years ago, deter
mined to develop and produce a
BETTER casing.
.'. Two years of patient effort
- -. -
Mr. Stokes and his staff made count
less experiments with new tire-making
principles, new methods,- to overcome
common tire faults.
" For," they argued, " casings today
are as nearly perfect as old methods
can make them.- To produce a better
casing a casing more resistant to
punctures, blowouts, tread separation
we must proceed along new and
better lines."; "
The new casing, from the innermost
ply of fabric to the tread, is built up
Inch by inch by hand.
And each casing is the work, from
start to finish, of one man,, who is re
warded, not on the basis of how many
casings he makes, bu
makes them.
I how
well he
s A new wonder of chemistry
Pure rubber possesses little strength
so little that a casing made of it would
run scarcely one hundred miles.
' It is the compound; the blending of
rubber with other chemicals that gives
it toughness.
And so Mr. Stokes sought to make
rubber tougher, stronger, longer-lived
sought a new rubber that would
set new records for mileage.
567 formulas failed to produce the
desired result. Many gave rubber
amazing toughness, but lacked some
other vital quality.
But at last his efforts succeeded far
beyond his hopes. ' The five hundred
and sixty-eighth attempt resulted in just
the compound he sought CROLIDE.
Every part of casing toughened
Crolide is not compourided with the
tread rubber alone. It is blended, in
scientifically exact degrees, with every
layer of rubber, or fabric that goes into
the tire.
This makes the tread stronger and
the fabric tougher. And it unites the
layers of . fabric to one another and to
the tread in one solid and practically in
separable whole.
Thousands of mile of road testa
During the last two years the presi
dent, officers and stockholders of the
Thermoid Rubber Company have sub
jected it to thousands of miles on many,
of the worst roads in the country.
Never, in any tire, have they seen
such durability or mileage so far in x
cess of iheir best expectations.
The most costly built casing
These new hand methods are ex
tremely expensive, and so are the rare
chemicals that form Crolide.
Naturally.the Thennoid Crolide Com-; ,
pound Casing is a high-priced casing, but
NOT an expensive casing. We claim '.
frankly, that it will give you, in the
end, more mileage for less money than
you've heretofore obtained from any tire,
