EVERY RIVERSIDE PLY
IS 12 STRONGER I
Yes, Riversides are actually stronger
than our pre-war tires! Stronger, be
cause Riverside cords are stronger to
start with; then chemically-strengthened
... to make your tire last longer,
and lessen the possibility of a blow-out;
(More Milcs-of-Safcty on Riversides!)
PROOF THAT RIVERSIDE
TIRES CAN "TAKE. IT" I
Tests like this one prove that River
sides' 125? stronger plies give greater
protection against blow-outs! Tins big
steel spike is "shot" into the spinning
tire like a projectile! It actually buries
itself in the tire. Yet ... no damage, no
rupture, NO BLOW-OUTl
89 OF RACE WINNERS
CHOSE RIVERSIDE TIRES!
Auto-Race Drivers, to whom tires
meant life or death, bought Riversides
They bought regular "stock" Riv
ersides, in Wards stores. Why? For
the same reason that makes thousands
of car-owners choose Riversides today:-MORE

6-ROW TREAD STOPS
FAST WITHOUT SKIDS I
It's the WET of the pavement that
caiscs skids. Eliminate the water and
your car stops. The Riverside 6-row
tread docs tint that; it squeezes the
water out from under . . . FORCING
IT INTO THE GROOVES for a
quicker, safer stop!
280,000-LB. STEEL
STRENGTH IN BEAD!
It's this steel bead (or wire) that keeps
your tire where it belongs ... on the
rim. Riverside's extra-strong bead is
extra-firmly anchored. It's thoroughly
insulated to minimize friction. (You'll
find that in Riverside tires, not a single
safety-detail has been overlooked.)

257o OF THE "BIGGEST'5
BOUGHT RIVERSIDES!
When peace-time plenty permitted
them to choose ANY brand of tires,
one of every three of America's biggest
truck-operators (who keep a miles-
Ier-dollar record of every tire) bought
livcrsides. And mart Riversides! They
got more miles ... more milcs-of-safctyj

"RIVERSIDES DIDN'T COME
ON MY CAR; I CHOSE THEM I"
Your neighbor's Riversides didn't
come on his car he chose them himself
. . . to replace the tires he found on his
car as "original equipment." He chose
Riversides deliberately, in preference
to all the other well-known makes of
tires. Ever ash him uhy?)
38,621,055 RIVERSIDe
TIRES SOLD TO DATE!
Yc, a grand total of more than 38
million Riverside Tires have been
sold. And every last one of them was
deliberate "replacement" sale; the
careful choice of a person like your
self. (It couldn't halt happened , , ,
uithout tome pretty good reasons!)
NO FINER TIRE MADE
REGARDLESS OF PRICE!
Now (with a ration certificate) you can
get the txtra-wcar and extra-safety of
Riverside Tires, at prices lower than
other makes. For More Milcs-of-Safety,
