I ; The new Fisk Safti-Fllghta, one engineered for rayon and the oth er for cotton, top' the passenger car line. These tires, it Is claimed, provide greater safety and longer mileage than any tire ever to car ry the Fisk name. i - Safety is built equally into tread and body. Seven rib tread assures stability and eliminates dangerous side skids. Transverse tread strips ot specially com pounded white gum rubber reach the fall depth ot tread to provide emergency tops. .Use of finest cotton cord, or rayon, gives extra body strength for protection against blowouts. ! Longer mileage comes from tougher tread stock of; greater density and depth, both la antt skid and nnder-tread. Other ad vantages attributed to these tires are easier ' riding and steering. resulting from seven continuous ribs and unusually flexible body; smooth, silent performance: and attractive appearance.
