The Secret oa
Superlative Tire
The whole question of a super-tire is a matter of principles.
For there is nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents,
no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker from build
ing the best. - '
But cost and 'competition modify ideals. The Brunswick
idea is to pay perfection's price and get it.
That has been the Brunswick policy since 1845. 'And it a
counts for the growing preference for Brunswick Tires
Motorists expect the utmost from a tire bearing the namej of
Brunswick -and get it.
You, too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that
here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy
a better.
Better tires of their type are impossible a or, better, tubes.
That we guarantee.

LINE SITUATION
The Mecessity of Conservation
o
There exists todav on the Pact lie Coas an acute shortage- of gasoline. As this
Company has pointed out on several oee .sions. the condition fa, due to insufT.
.dent production of crude oil and a greatly increased consumption of ga.'olmu
by Industry and by owners of pleasure cars.
Gasoline isTvital factor in the life of the community, industrially and oth
erwise, and it is of the greatest importance, at this juncture, that it be used with
the utmost discretion, that essenial requirements may be supplied.
The present is by no means the reason of maximum demand, which comes la
ter in the year. The condition, therefore, is likely to he continuing, rather
than transitory.
Responsibility for meeting the situation does not rest solely upon the oil in
dustry. The public also has a serious duty in the matter.
On its part, the Standard Oil Company is strainimr its resources and organ
ization to increase the supply of gasoline. In the field it is working for the
maximum production of crude oil. In the refinery it is working for the maxi
mum production of gasoline from the crude oil and it is spending large sums
of money on equipment for new processes, of its own discovery and develop
ment, whereby a still greater yield of gasoline will be obtained.
The point already has been reached where gasoline must he conserved most
carefully. That is a duty of the public In consumption of this product, essen
til industries must necessarily come first pleasure utilization thereafter.
Already the Company has taken steps toward protecting the suppl.t for the
vital needs of industry which, if leaned, would affect the business life of the
community. There is now the danger of a curtailment of supply to non-essentials
such as pleasure cars.
The assistance of the public, therefore, is imperative. Until lately, gasoline
has been abundant, and its lavish and extravagant use has been possible That
time is past.
Buy as little gasoline as possible.
Use what you must Waste none.
