inauUnea aVarrla Crani,
Ajax Tires come of fighting stock. Thev were
the first independent t ires. Twelve years ago. they
entered, single handed, a monopoly-ridden indus
tryand won. They won the only 'way they could
win in the teeth of violent opposition on quality.
Quality was their armament and intreiichment
and their quality challenge was the first tire
guarantee.
The Ajax service pledged in writing 5000 miles
is held violate today as then. Ajax inaugurated
a .straight-away policy of cards-on-the-table deal
ing with the t ire owner. Jt met immediate and last
ing response.
There is no longer a tire monopoly, but the
Ajax initiative the Ajax fight to maintain alwavs
higher inbuilt quality goes on and on.
In every industry there is a product that lifts
itselt, by sheer merit, by an actual service-showing
above the rest a product that achieves separate
and supreme distinction. In tires, we honestly be
lieve this master-product to be Ajax.
And when you consider the enormous yearly
sales of Ajax Tires the tremendous growth'of the
business and remember that Ajax Tires are not
regular equipment of the cars they are largely
bought for, but the individual choice of thinking
motorists to replace other tires you have vindis
putable proof of leadership.
Ajax Tires are still of "fighting stock" built
for conquest in gruelling road test. Thev have
stamina, spring and vitality rugged resistance.
Made of the cream of rubbei-s and quality fabrics,
by the pick of tire-makers to one standard the
highest.
And note that now in line with the Ajax pol
icy of initiative always Ajax Tires are registered
at the home office in the individual owner's name
as further insurance and protection of the Ajax
Guarantee in Writing 5000 Miles mimmum service.
Consider that this means, based on the implied ser
vice of other standard makes. 43 more tire miles,
a saving of $3 to $15 per time, according to wheel
size.
Ajax Kegisteied Tires piovc determination to
serve to the uttermost mile.
While others are claiming Quality, we're guaranteeing it
