Double Service
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Guaranteed 1000 Miles Service
Absolutely Punctureproof.

Double Service Tires are double the
thickness of the pest standard make tires.
This 100 per cent. greater wearing sur
face naturally gives that much more mile
age and service. The average OF IL
plies of tough fabric and one inch surface
tread rubber makes these tires absolutely
puncture proof.
These tires excel all others for use in
the country over rough and rugged roads
as well as on hard pavements. They are
as easy riding and resilient as any other
pneumatic tire-the air space and press

They are the most economical and
care free tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on and
tire troubles cannot be tolerated. MANY
