Two Big New Savings for
Car Owners and Truck Owners
Never before have Firestone Tires been so decidedly better
than others as they now are. So, for months back dealers,
car owners and truck operators have been saying: “It*s the
Firestone Year.”
And on top of this quality advantage offered in the improved
Gray Sidewall Fabric and Cord Tires, on top of the enlarged
size and extra heavy tread, come these two other Firestone
savings—
Much lower prices—and adjustments made on a bigger
mileage basis.

stockholders in the company—for a tire of such quality
