A transcontinental hard-surfaced
highway stretching from New York
to Han Francisco could be built with
the money .-which America motorists
will save nexff year as' the result of
the recent reductions in the price of
automobile tires and tubes. What's
more, enough money could be left
over to build a flrst-clasr battleship
for I'nfle Sam.
Tho recent reduction In ihe prices
of tires and ftincr ttbes will menu
a saving to the S.OOO.O'IO American
motorists, says the B, F". Goodrich
Itubber Company, of approximately

country's annual tire bill of about

cross-country road could therefore be
built with the amount saved with
quite a few millions left over.
The average motorists tire bill for
a year amounts to about H25. Next

The racers averaged thirty-five kil

What Is the
Secret of Long Life
In a Tire, Anyhow:
It's the tread and here is the reason :
The tread of your tire is the part that takes all
the wear, soaks up the road shock and keepr he
bumps away from the fabric.
: Entirely reasonable then that it should be broad
and thick, isn't it?
That's the idea back of the Super Tread Tire. It's
important and it means a lot more miles to you.
