He went toThomas OM THOMPSON* was not vain, nor was he con- ceited about his personal appearance. He found that his lack of hair actually hin- dered his business progress. Not infrequently would he be fully prepared to make a masterful sales presentation to a prospective customer only to be balked when he removed his hat and exposed his bald head. Friends “wise-cracked” about it and although new acquaintances and business prospects did not boldly mention it, Tom knew they were thinking, “Too bad he had to take off his hat—he looked so much younger with it on.” In Tom's case baldness actually cost him money. No matter how forceful were his sales arguments, he could not keep his customers’ eyes off his bald head. Finally he came to The Thomas'—was accepted for treatment after a scientific scalp examination and now a growth of new hair covers his scalp in a nat- ural manner.

STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SKID-SAFE, EASY-RIDING that higher pressure tires can never give Washington’s Leading Tire Store GENERAL TIRE CO. Tires of standardized construce tion with “breaker strips have extra stiffness across the top, under the tread. Thinner in the sidewall—too much of the bending must come at that point. This sharp bending pro- hibits their use of true low pressure. Requires the maintenance of semi- high pressure. Invites disastrous flex breaks when the air gets low. Neglected air pressure in tires that were not built to stand such abuse accounts for an amazing share of the 407,000 killed and injured an- nually due to tire failure. With the Blowout-Proof Tire you are safe from these hazards that lurk in stiff, unyielding tires. When you compare the cross- sections of other brands you can see and feel the difference.

SEPTEMBER 15 Lets you enjoy the onry TRUE LOW AIR PRESSURE recommended , 1930, - ¥! " in tires today! HINK of the heaviest cars on the road rolling along on only 29 pounds of air pressure instead of the average 40 or 45 pounds required by other tires. Just think of 20 pounds of air for your lighter car, compared with the 35 pounds you have been forced to use. No matter what car you drive, you can now enjoy this remarkable low pressure when you ride on the patented new Blow- out-Proof General Dual Balloon. It means amazing new riding ease—softer, safer, non-skid. That was the original purpose in choos- ing rubber for tires—the only thing that could be discovered for long wear—and softness! We keep it that way—by not pump- ing up the tire to high pressure hardness. Think What 10 or 15 Pounds Less Air In Your Tires Can Do Your car lasts longer! In car repair bills alone you save the price of a set of tires. And you enjoy the most luxurious comfort in motor history. Above all, it gives you tkid-safety with a new meaning in this modern age of speed and crowded traffic. 362,000 people hurt and killed last year in skidding accidents—mostly due to high pressure in their tires. Consider how this terrific toll can be reduced by using a tire that is built, first of all, for softness. The palm of your hand-and ball of your foot are vpholstered thickly with soft tissue. Why? Because anything that is intended to grip and cling on hard sur- faces must be soft. The softer your tires, the safer you are! Slow-motion movies tell the story. Let us show you the surprising results of tests made with low-pressure Dual Bal- loons at speeds that skidded high pressure tires right off the road. Quicker stops! Safer turns! 15 to 25 miles faster around the slippery turns with Dual Balloons than any other tires were able to go without exces- sive skidding. ace o arg® ‘.c(\m‘t' 9 s, 100 Charé ed Cf gladly arveo€
