Double the Mileage
at Half the Cost
Only a few years ago a 32 x 4
cord tire listed over $50.00. Today,
you can buy the highest quality
32 x 4 tire — a Firestone Gum-
Dipped Cord—for about $26.00.
Last spring crude rubber costtire
makers around 40 cents a pound.
Today, it is over 90 cents a pound.
It was not so long ago that 7,500
miles represented the average life
of axord tire, while today, 15,000
miles — and more — is only the
usual'performance for a Firestone
Gum-Dipped Cord.
' Due to large, concentrated- pro-
duction, specialized machinery and
simplified factory methods, together
with economical distribution, Fire-
stone is able to keep tire prices low
—no matter where the price of
crude rubber goes.
And, because of special
Firestone processes, chief
among which is Gum-Dip-
ping, motorists are today
getting thousands of extra
of Qualify
miles by using Gum-Dipped Cords
Gum-Dipping is an exclusive
method used by Firestone. It is an
extra process, carried out in special
Gum-Dipping plants, after which
the cords are put through the usual
calendering machines. Gum-Dtpe
ping insulates and impregnates
every fiber of -every cord with rtfh
her, and practically eliminates in-
ternal friction and heat, and builds
strength and endurance into thetire
In the day-in and day-out serv
ice of taxicabs, buses and trucks’1
—on the-cars of hundreds of thou
sands of motorists everywhere —
Gum-Dipped Cords are giving
unheard-of mileage, dependability
and satisfaction.
Get ready for the coming months
of slippery pavements and
bad roads. Assure yourself
of greater safety, comfort
and economy by equipping -,
now with Firestone Full- u
Size Gum-Dipped Balloons. }
