RECAPPING
.A.MERICANS have yet to win the
battle of rubber. The time when new
tires will be plentiful is not in sight.
T h u s, your present tires are more
precious than ever.
You can safeguard them by having
them recapped by the Firestone Factory-
Method. It’s the same method that is
used to retread tires for our armed forces
— tires for tru ck s, passen ger cars,
ambulances and airplanes.
Highly-trained craftsmen will inspect
and repair your worn tires, then apply
the best tread rubber available. And you
can have the famous Firestone tread
designs — the Champion Gear-Grip for
passenger cars, the Ground Grip for
tractors, and the Transport for trucks.
Call your nearest Firestone Dealer
Store or Firestone Store today and have
your tires checked. It w ill save you
trouble and money later.
For the best in music, listen to the "Voice of Firestone” every Monday evening over N BC network.
