Take Care of
Your Tires
America's greatest need is for ships—
more ships.
Uk ■ - #
H* Every available vessel is being utilized
in government service.
% •
Many ships that have been carrying rubber from
Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active
transport duty. The number now left to bring
rubber to this country is extremely limited.
This will necessarily force a temporary curtail-
ment of tire production.
So, make the most of the tires you have.
Use good tires.
Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect
repair. See that they are properly inflated.
Increase their mileage by careful driving. Keep
out of car tracks and away from
bumps. Don't scrape the curb •Uaco • Tread
or apply brakes too suddenly.
#
** Get every mile your tires
have in them.
Only in that way can you be
assured of your car's contin-
uous service—and remember,
your tire is a vital war-time
necessity.
m-
So again
— take care of your tires.
