Many Extra Miles
We can show you—and prove to you—
that there is a genuine money saving in the
use of United States Tires.
The extra miles they give mean just so
many extra dollars counted in real money.
And there are further actual economies in
the saving of gas, oil, repairs and depreciation.
The reason of all this is in the tires them­
selves—their liveliness, ruggedness and
sturdiness.
