Z\NE OF the many reasons
L, why car owners prefer Fed-
eral tires is graphically shown
above.
In the base of every Federal
tire are four endless twisted
steel cables of great tensile
strength that securely clatnp the
tire’s base to the rim.
This positively prevents play
between the tire and rim, thus
preventing rim wear and the
ruinous damage often arising
from this cause.
This adds materially to the
life of Federal tires, but Federal
tires can economize for you only
when you use them on your car.
Begin economizing now. Buy
Federal Tires.

These same democratic farmers |
were as patriotic tit home as their
gallant soiia were on the battlefields
of France. They economized, produc-
ed, fed the world, bought bonds, war
savings stumps, contributed to the Red
Cross and all other war activities;
in short, they placed their all upon
! the altar of their country. Inasmuch
as tills splendid war record is uein
assailed by your leader, you could not
hog tie one of these farmers and keep
him away from tile convention where
