It’s the Safety Sensation of 1939! Our customers have started a word-of-mouth campaign that is making this the biggest selling tire we’ve ever had. Already we are reordering to meet the demand. The marvelous gripping power of this amazing new tire, so dramatically demonstrated in actual use has swept it to amazing heights of popularity. Motor car manufacturers have been so impressed by its superior performance that they have adopted it for their 1939 models. Why? Because'the Firestone Champion Tire is an entirely new achievement in safety engineering. Stronger Cord Body. This is accomplished first, by the use'of a completely new type of tire cord called “Safety. in which the cotton fibers,are more compactly interwoven eo ‘-assurée cooler running ‘and provide greater strength. Then, the fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and the plies themselves, are all securely locked togéther by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping which provides amazingly greater strength. And greater strength means greater safety. More Non-Skid Mileage. The new Safety-Lock cord construction provides the extra strength needed for the use of the new, thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip tread which delivers remarkably longer non-skid mileage. This sensational new tread is called “Gear-Grip” because of its unique design — it has more than 3,000 sharp-edged arigles which grip the road with a sure-footed hold to protect against sxidding and assure a safe stop. -LOCK CORD irestone CHAMPION Made with the SODY GRIP TREA You need this extra non-skid safety and blowout protection and you need it ‘Nowi Firestone Drive in tcday and equip your car with a new set of Firestone tires made that are safety-proved on the speedeny jot your L'sten to The Voice of Firestone with Richard Crooks, Wargaret Speaks and ‘Alfred Wallenstela, Monday evenings over Nationwide N.
