ENVERY mile that each Automobile runs means an
automatic Sale OF Tires to replace that mileage with
n new Tires
But all the Craftsmanship, and all the Advertising,
under the Sum- could increase by single Tire the total
sales OF Tires beyond the number of Cars owned by Con-
sumers and the number of Miles each Consumer runs his Car
yearly.
The Market for Tires is therefore limited inleXbly, to
the number of Cars running and the Mileage which each
Owner is induced to yearly.
Therefore, opne that to promote greater Sales, and
greater USE of Automobiles, few better incentives can be
offered than markedly lowered COST TO CONSUMERS for
Tires and Gasoline.
Just as we recognize that the only legitimate expansion
open to the Tire Industry whole would be due to the sale
of Automobiles each year to Consumers, with greater
average Mileage USE per year, of each Car by each owner
That is why we favor the Lowest possible price tor
Tres-to Consumers consistent with maintenance OF high
quality and fair profit to Dealer and MIL
