iparisons
be conflicting claims published about tires,
nigleading statements are being made. The
you as a tire buyer can draw is that either
talers, are misrepresenting Firestone prod-
lin mail order house is not telling the truth
can’t be right—one or the other is mislead-
/ their comparisons.
; in their advertising, only make comparisons
easily verified by the customer before buying
, attempt to substantiate the comparisons made by
aail order house, it would be necessary to go into a
itory and employ experts.
The very reason that the comparisons made in Firestone
♦ising enable you to get the facts yourself, makes it un-
iry for Mr. Firestone to make affidavit on the truth of
iements or to file any complaint with the Federal Trade
nission, and then advertise it, in an attempt to lead the
' ' believe his statements were true.
Firestone doesn’t ask you to accept comparisons
done Tires and special brand mail order tires until
facts yourself. Neither do we. All we ask is that
Aur own comparison.
ave cross-sections cut from special brand mail
t purchased from stocks of mail order house and
astone Tires — no “tricky” or misleading compari-
come in today and make your own comparisons for
v, Construction, and Prices. YOU and YOU ALONE be
ige!

1 “Special Brand” Tire is made by a manufacturer for dis-
butors such as mail order bouses, oil companies and others,
der a name that does not identify the tire manufacturer to

1 own name. Firestone puts his name on every tire he makes.
