The autqmo bUe has brought the most remote settlement almost as close to the center of things as the next county was in the old days. To hear some tire dealers talk you might think that nobody knew anything about tires except the fellow from Broadway. That's not the basis we go on. We give every man credit for knowing what he is spending his money on, whether he drives up here' in his small car from ten miles out in the country or is passing through from the capital in his limousine. i That's one thing we like about U. 6. Tires. They make no distinction between the small car owner and the owner of the biggest car in the country. It's all 'the same to them. So long as a man owns an automobile large or small he's entitled to the very best tire they can give him. Quality has always been the outstanding feature of U. S. Tires. There's no limit on the U. S. guarantee. All U. S. Tires are guaranteed for the life of the tire. IV We have given a lot of thought to this tire proposi tion.
