FIRESTONE TIRES MAKE
GOOD IN WAR SERVICE

Just before the Mexican war cloud
darkened the horizon OF the United
States war department, Gen. Lucio
Blanco, commanding the constitution
alfst forces In Mexico, drove his war
car through the thickest OF the Mat.
amoros battle. This car was equipped
with Ffrestone Non-Skid tires. The
tires were badly mutilated by the hail
OF bullets from the federal sharp
shooters. but the tough fabric was
not penetrated, although q ball from
one OF the machine guns cut q broad
cash In one OF the treads. Gen.
Blanco gave the tires credit for car.
rying him safely out of the danger
zone.
Later, when 1t seemed that Uncle
Sam must invade Mexico, q report OF
the part these tires played In the
above scrimmage came to the ears

ton. He Immediately got In touch
with the Firestone company, and, al.
though he did not want pneumatic
tires because OF the danger of pune.
ture, he ordered F1restone solid tires
with quick removable rims. This
equipment made It possible to change
a tire In a few minutes when neces.

This led to other departments TAX.
ing up the matter, and at the present
time Firestone tires have become
widely distributed In U. 8. army ser

Now comes the report that Russis

GREAT SERIES OF

being sent each of the Studebaker
branches. The dealers meet at an ap-
poined time and drive their cars
home, thus avoiding the delay which
might ensue were they to walt for
the doubtful schedule Of railway
freight trains.
Tours of the nature are taking
place from New York, Boston, At
