Do you know when to recap? What to do shout

that cut can be repaired? Why the tread is
wearing uneven?
The answers to these and a dozen other ques
tions that are vital to getting maximum mileage
from your tires are not easy for tha car owner.
They are easy for experienced tire men.
Drive In and get acquainted. There's no obliga
tion. Judge us by the extra miles we help you get
from your tires. Then you'll probably deal with us
for a long time to come. And when new tires are
again plentiful, you can "treat yourself to a Fisk."

Meet Jim Bhke, "retired
The tray Jim Blake figures it he's not doing anything
teorth writing vp he's no hero. Jim switches cars
around ai a big Southern Pacific terminal yard, put
ting trains together and tailing 'em apart.
But Jim Blake's been railroading more than 30
years, and he knows a lot of ansu-ers. Recently when
we've had to train thousands of neic railroaders,
Jim's experience has been very valuable to us.
We depend a lot on men like him to keep the war
trains moving . .
Late In '41 Jim Blake was readv to quit work and switch
onto his pension. He and his wife had a little farm all paid
for. But when the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, Jim talked
things over with his wife and thrr dreided on a different
plan.
Tiih a lot of the young mm off to war, Jim Bgured he'd
better stick on the job for the duration, nis railroad
and his country might be needing him.
All this explains why Jim Blake is still a railroader.
He's doing his part to help win this war as soon as pot
sible. For Victory will bring the young men home again
. . . and then Jim Blnke can get together with his farm.
To old-timori like Jim Blake the strategic importance of
Southern Pacific's 13.000 miles of line is as plain as two
plus two makes four. We serve the great arc of West and
South. From Chicago, from the Pacific Northwest and the
deep South, Southern Pacific routes converge at Test
Coast ports, bringing troops and war supplies for the war
against Japan.
In addition to this heavy westbound traffic, we must
move to eastern centers vast quantities of food, raw ma
terials and industrial products of the Vest and South.
America's wartime transportation needs are challeng.
ing the best we railroaders have to give.
Our people work today with the same unbeatable spirit
that built Southern Pacific's western link of America's
first transcontinental railroad. They, along with all other
American railroaders, are doing the greatest job In trans
portation history and they are doing it in spite of a great
shortage of manpower.
Southern Pacific and other railtnds urgently need
thousands of men and women to fill thousands of inter,
esting, good-paying, essential war jobs. ui
The friendly Southern Pacific
