They have, through their
researches, made it possible

I^IRFSTONE has maintained its leadership in tirei
development by producing a new tire for 1934 with a wider)
tread, flatter contour, deeper non-skid, greater thickness,'
and more and tougher rubber, which gives greater non-skid
safety, more traction, greater blowout protection, and more
than 50% longer non-skid mileage.
These achievements are made practical by the Firestone
patented proeessofG u m-Dipping. providing greater adhesion;
between the plies of the high stretch cords and between the;
Gum-Dipped body of the tire and the tough, massive!
non-skid tread. It ulso provides greater strength, longer
flexing life, and greater protection against blowouts.
Gum-Dippin gj
made it possible for)
Firestone to design,}
develop and put on the
market the first
successful balloon tire
in 1923* This tire was
the puttern used by all
others and completely
revolutionized the tire
industry and set new<
standards for the1
automobile industry.
Firestone also'
developed the first)
all-rubber non-skid,
tire, and has always;
been first to give'
motorists the benefits*
of new discoveries in'
non-skid design,
providing more[
traction and greater
non-skid safety.
