From Calumet Motor Coach Co., Hammond, Ind., the following: “We operate 40 buses all equipped with Gum-Di Tires. The very low cost per mile on whic tires operate is considerably less than that of any other make. es Bus Lines, Columbia, S.©., say: ‘“‘We operate 19 buses equi with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. A number of these tires have run over 45,000 miles without ever having been removed from the rim.” The largest taxicab companies in the world standardize on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. W. R.
