comparisons
With all the conflicting claims pub­
lished about tires it is obvious that misleading statements
are being made. The only conclusion that you as a Tire
Buyer can draw is that either we, as Firestone dealers,
are misrepresenting Firestoue products, or that a certain
mail order house is not telling the truth about theirs.
Both can't be right. One or the other is misleading the
public by its comparisons.
Firestone., in their advertising. only
makes comparisons that can be easily verified by the
customer before buying tires. To attempt to substantiate
the comparisons made by this mail order house, it would
be necessary Io go into a laboratory and employ experts.
The VerU reason that the comparisons made
in Firestone advertising enable you to get the facts your­
self makes it unnecessary for Mr. Firestone to make any
affidavit on the truth of his statements, or to file any
complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, and then
advertise it, in an attempt to lead the public to believe
his statements were true.
Mr. Firestone does not ask you to ac­
cept the comparisons about Firestone tires and special
brand mail order tires until you see the facts yourself.
Neither do we. All we ask
is that you make your own
comparisons. We have cross
sections cut from special
brand mail order tires pur­
chased from the stock of
mail order stores, and from
Firestone tires. No mislead­
ing or tricky comparisons..
