Even as the stone cast into a stream causes a wave to flow in every direction, so does the breaker strip spread the shocks of the road over the tire. A good breaker strip gives mighty battle to those great enemies of your purse: stone bruises and wear and tear; and adds many moons to the life of the tire. The Great Chiefs of my people know how important is the breaker strip, so they have it woven especially for our mighty “Savage” “D” Type tire, as different from that used in ordinary . tires as the sun is different from the moon. Great is the cost of va this bit of fabric but it does the work wie call upon it to do better. a than any other that we know of. In your eyes, O Travelers of the Highways, this is but a emall matter, but consider it with other features in our “D” Type and you know another’ reason why’ this big, sturdy casing, the pride and joy of our hearts, has been proclaimed in all the land by many of you—“The best fabric tire on the American market”, I SALUTE YOU, O MOTORISTS! “Little Heap” es a character is symbolic of The Spreckels “Savage” Tire Company. By birth he is a “Savage”; by adoption, a member of The House of Sprechele. @ Wise for his years, educated in modern ways and imbued with the spirit of the organization he represents, the little “chief” is an authority on the construction of “Savage” tires and tubes. It is fit ting that the sterling qualities and the sturdiness of Inspection.
