It used to be that pneumatic ores "s'I
thought preferable. No; SO now. accorfF
70 my observations. When a heavily loacs
fire department machine IS going az swf
speed, a puncture or a tire thrown can al
has caused disastrous results. L runs
risk OF killing not only the men on ri
wagon but pedestrians. Solid tres neTe
come of q puncture on sharp frog
streetcar track. Then you never sno'
when an inner tube is bad. maybe -
when the truck starts to a Ore o. Is cS
covered. A puncture makes traction N
possible and retards speed. SOLD ufe
with efficient springs. allow plenty
speed. insure safety and give FAR lH'
mileage. which means saved cost ---
