\ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, General Announces #be - Blow-Out Proof 1ire . Safety at any speed Softer, Easier riding on any road _ - . - NOW you can enjoy the carefree, positive driving security and ease of a blow-out proof tire—the new General Dual-Balloon. It means new safety—new confidence when you travel your narrow half of the highway and there’s only a scant strip of pavement between you and trouble on either side—too scant to run the risk of a blowout at any speed. Every year thousands of serious accidents are charged to tires that ““blew’’ at the wrong moment. Why invite this chance? Now you can match the powerand speed of your modern car with the modern blow-out prooftire. The Dual-Balloon eliminates the hazard of blowouts and the inconvenience of punctures during its whole lifetime of big mileage. It brings you permanent blow- out proof protection—mnof an ounce of reclaimed rubber #n either carcass or fread. The Dual-Balloon runs at the lowest pressure ever known. In addition it has built-in rubber shock ab- oorbou—extrl layers of soft cushion rubber—that mean an extra ‘“‘give’’ inside the tire. This thicker cushioning prevents overheutlng from internal friction, eliminating inside wear. It lessens the force of damaging blows, absorbing the heavy impacts on rough roads that commonly cause carcass breaks and blowouts in stiffer tires. And best of all, think what the blow-out proof prin® ciple of extra softness throughout | the tire means to you in greater comfort, fewer car repairsand closer-clinging skid-safe traction that lasts as long as the tire itself, ' at Sixty .- ff SPE IAL ; Cthzs wIe,el}zICEs you are going, fiet aSe ewm[ Sy margin of a foot or two between your wheels and the ditch—or on- RING - . coming traffic.{That means that you must act in %ath part of a second 1.Blow-OutProof 5.
