Tire PRICES do not determine tire VALUES
But actual tire VALUE is the ONLY thing
that can determine actual tire COST.
First costs may be alluring (and they will influ-
ence certain number of buyers) but Elk.
PERIENCED motorists know that LAST
costs are the REAL costs, and that it is far
safer to buy THE GREATEST POSSIBLE
TIRE VALUE than to take advantage of
THE LOWEST POSSIBLE FIRST COST.
The motorist who does not buy his tires on the
SERVICE-CoST basis is buying on the
WRONG basis-and his tire bills are the
best proof of it.
United States Tires lay no claim to being the
cheapest tires to buy. They are not.
Several other makes may claim this distinction,
