Even as the patient pack-horse fails be- neath too great a load, so will a sturdy tire falter when taxed beyond its strength. The Great Chiefs of my people have declared “WE BUILD TO EXCEL”-—so our “D” Type tire is an extra large over-size with an extra ply of fabsic in everysize over that used in standard and ordinary tires. The trader can pile his goods higher, more friends can be taken on the ride of joy, if your car is shod with oyr “D” Type tires than is possible with ordinary tires, for the over-size con- struction, with a greater. volume of air allowed by it, makes it capable of meeting.all your demands, And much fatter will be your purse, for the over-sizing and extra-ply features add many moons to the life of the tire; and most surely is the wear and tear on the machine made less. Many among you, O Motorists, concede our “D” Type to be the best fabric tire on the American market. It is our proud boast that this big, @, flexible, hand-built casing is a dis- tinct achievement in building, well worthy of my people. I SALUTE YOU, O MOTORISTS!
