J they would blow out any minute. Then
I he climbed into the car and sailed
j forth for a tour. ,
At station after station he drove in
'and asked the dealer to check his ai'
! pressure or do something or othei
| about those tires. The station atten-
j dants looked at his tires, did what he
! asked, and waved him a gracious
! adieu. They were all dealing in
I tires; his touring car cried aloud its
! need of tires; but at only one place
i out of forty visited by him did the
dealer let out a chirp on the subject
i of new tires.
