Firestone ha# taken the mystery out of tire
buying and has furnished us with actual sec­
tions not only of Firestone tires but of others.
Come in and examine them for yourself.
Firestone not only cooperates with dealers
but cooperates with workmen. Every one of
the 15,000 workmen in the great Firestone
factories is a stockholder in the company.
They back the quality of their product with
their savings. We back it with our unlimited
guarantee.
We have a department store of service for
the motorist, and sell the complete Firestone
line of Tires, Tubes, Batteries, Brake Lin­
ing, Rims and Accessories. Also Gasoline,
Oils and Lubrication.
We can save you
money and serve you better.
