These statements fail to point out, however, that a large percentage of all these tires aro sold as "factory equipment" on popular makes of nnlo mobiles. In other words, the motorist himself has had very little to say. about selecting the tire equipment of the new car ho buys. When these same motorists, however, have an oppor .' tunity to study tire quality and tire values for themselves, the story becomes somewhat different!... Take, for example, the popularity of RIVERSIDES among car-owners. This famous tire was introduced to the Amer ican public 18 years ago. Since that time RlVFMSIDES have been sold to many millionsoj motorists throughout America.. A great majority of these tires have been sold on merit alonc-without any high-pressure salesmanship. And they were bought on just three points: the splendid ropula llon of Montgomery Ward & Co. the definite mileage guarantees under which RIVERSIDE Tires have always been sold and the recommendation of millions of satisfied users. . " Facts like these cannot be disputed or ignored. They explain why RIVERSIDE Tires occupy a place among the leaders of the industry and it is because of these facts that we make the claim, and back it with our guarantees, that RIVERSIDES arc THE EQUAL OF ANY TIRE MADE, regardless of price. This statement wo arc anx ious to have you prove to your own salisfuetion-on your own car tho next time you arc in tfio market for tires. In the matter of price, RIVERSIDES, of course, save you money. Compared with the five or six other leading makes ofcqualqualily.for example, your savings on a RIVERSIDE range from about S2 per tire (on the 29x4.40 RIVERSIDE llalloon) to J3 to $10 on larger sizes. Surely such sav ings merit your most careful consideration . . . particularly in view of tho fact that when you purchase a RlVlTRSIDE you are protected by deliuitc guarantees of 16,000 und 30,000 milcj of service! No other make of tire in America today, backed by an organization with tho responsibility of Montgomery Ward & Co., is sold under such definite mileage guarantees. Visit our store today and see these RIVERSIDES for yourself. Note their quality construction, low price, ifnn clud mileage guarantees .-. . and buy on FACTS, not "talk." 2yt. l() 4-(ily :m t.r,i 4-j.lv 2'x.,75 - ' :sik5.oo " All SIZES TO FST All CARS First Quality RIVERSIDE uj.r.ritL'ii fur u,ubv td.ces 30x.Wi 4-i.lv SS.SO 31x5.25 4-ly SIO.ZO s 83 :il)x5.'il) ' I0.6S fts .".:x(.00 fc jily I.70 8.C5 2.x6.50 , . 15.SO 8.55 32x6.75 " , 17.90 super SsrvEee ISiVE?jiS2roE Guaranteed for 30,000 Miles .lOx.-f'.i (..plv 15 8.73 3lx.-,.2.- 0-ply S37.08 2'KI. 10 (i-i)ly 10.45 "'"''V'11 " "-IO Hllvl.SO x.4s 3Sx6.0( " I9.VO 2'K 1.7.- " .$ 32x.r0 " ai.IS 30xu.0U " 14-60 32x6.73 8-ply 26.7o Standaa'd Vasbwear ' Guaranteed ar 10,000 Miles 30x3Vi 4-pv S4.44 30x3.110 4-p!y S 7.IS 32x t s a -l-ply T oo 2'Jxl.tl) ' SOS 30x 1.30 " COS .s Fish Eggs, and Tyco Star 6-cup Percolator; 1 lb.
