YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION
AGAINST BLOWOUTS — eight
extra pounds of rubber are added to
every 100 pounds of cord by the
Firestone patented Gum.Dipping
process. By this process every fiber in
every cord in every ply is saturated
with liquid rubber. This counteracts
dangerous internal friction and heat
that ordinarily cause blowouts.
YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION
AGAINST PUNCTURES-because
under the tread are two extra layers
of Gum-Dipped cords.
YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION
AGAINST SKIDDING—because the
tread is scientifically designed.
YOU GET LONGER NON-SKID
MILEAGE because offthe extra tough.,
long-wearing tread.
Firestone Standard Tires give you all
these extra value features because they
are first-quality tires built with high-
grade materials and patented
construction features. You SAVE
MONEY because you buy this high
quality and extra value at such low
prices.
Before leaving on your vacation trip,
