design which has more than three thousand
sharp-edged angles that grip the road with a sure-

of new Firestone Champion Tires, the only tires

Car OWNERS everywhere are
acclaiming the extra blowout protection
and non-skid safety of the new Firestone
Champion Tire. And automobile
manufacturers, knowing its outstanding
performance, have adopted it for thir
new 1939 models. On every hand you
hear, “It’s the most effective tire we have
ever had on wet pavement and in mud
and snow!” It’s the hit of 1939! "
The Firestone Champion Tire is a $
completely new achievement in safety a
engineering and the result of a new and ’
. revolutionary means of locking greater 4
safety into the cord body of a tire. This is ,
accomplished first by the use of a new
type of tire cord called “Safety-Lock,” in
which the cotton fibers are more
compactly interwoven to give greater
strength. And then the fibers in each ,
individual cord, the cords in each ply
and the plies themselves are all securely
locked together by a new and advanced
Firestone process of Gum-Dipping, which
provides amazingly greater strength—and
greater strength means greater safety.
The new Safety-Lock cord construction
gives the added strength that makes
possible the use of the new thicker,
tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip
Tread, which provides remarkably longer
non-skid mileage. This sensational new
for impromptu observations per-
taining to their business.
These remarks revealed a new
confidence in the mill’s policy and
products, new enthusiasm brought
about by completed and prospective
changes in production and distribu-
tion. Mention was made of an im-
proved quality of flour, new and
improved milling equipment, fast
and efficient delivery service, and
a general program of enterprise.
Wives of the mill employees ex-
tractive decorations and the cen- -
tral adornment consisted of a min- year is a meet with the University
