N N . a PLLML LHL Lo Lo oe Le Firestone cuts the cost of Tire Satety just at the time when you need a new set of tires. At this time of the year you should replace tires that are worn and smooth for greatest safety during the summer driving season. Tires may look alike on the outside — but inside they are different. The name FIRESTONE on a tire is your assurance of extta safety and long mileage because only Firestone Tires are built with these patented and exclusive construction features: Gum-Dipping, the Firestone patented process by which every fiber of every cord in every ply is saturated with liquid rubber, counteracts tire-destroying internal friction and heat which ordimarily cause blowouts. Nine extra pounds of rabber are added to every 100 pounds of cord. Two Extra Layers of Gum-Dipped Cords under the tread, another patented Firestone construction feature, protect against punctures. Scientifically-Designed Non-Skid Tread made of tough < slow-wearing rubber, assures safer stops and longer non-shid miféage. Now that Firestone gives you all of these safety and economy features at these low prices, you cannot afford to take chances with unsafe tires this summer. Come in today and join the Firestone Save-A-Life Campaign by equipping your car with « set of new Firestone Convoy Tires —* te ‘safest tires that money can buy at these low prices.
