The Insulated Cord
The Accomplishment
ot Super-Mileage
When subjected to the unmerciful torture of
the rugged highway Fisk Truck Cords prove
their strength by giving unfaltering service.
The ceaseless battering of the most cruel road
surface has little effect upon the invulnerable
tread.
In these Cords are concentrated the finest, the
most costly of mileage materials, each part
staunchly braced and reinforced as only the
most experienced of tire builders are capable
of arranging.
In selecting Fisk Truck Cords you are guided
by the Unreserved endorsement of a great
army of motorists whose demands can only
be satisfied by the best. ,
