THERE arc no better tires, long

than Western Giants. ..the choice
of hundreds of thousands of mo
torists for many years. More than
a million are in daily use.
"Western Auto"offers three lines of
tires, corresponding to those lines
made by4eading tire companies.
Our Western Giant Center Traction
Tire is made in the standard 4 Ply
and the Heavy Duty 6 Ply, of the
finest quality materials, first grade
in every respect, ani the equal of
regular standard brands that come
as equipment on new cars, but our
prices save vou 20. First quality
Western Giants cost you no more
than second quality tires in the Na
tionally Advertised brands.
Our Western Giant De Luxe Double
Duty Tire compares with the various
De Luxe, Master and Super Quality
lines, and we save you 15to 30: a
worth while saving for those who want the very finest tire that money can buy.
Our Wear-well Tire? is equal to so-called Standard brands of Secondary quality
which many dealers offer as first quality tires but at prices' far above our
Wear-wells; often as high as our First Quality Center Traction tire.
Western Giant Tires and Wear-well Tires are backed up by a guarantee that
means what it says, and by our entire organization. Qur 169 stores in the
West stand ready to give service on your tire regardless of where you bought it.
The above statements regarding comparative quality are based upon our firm
belief and opinion after comparing various laboratory examinations and exten-.
sive road tests. Western Giants and Wear-wells are made for us by leading tire
manufacturers and cost just as much to build as other standard quality tires.
The saving in the cost to you is our saving in the cost of selling.
