On account of greatly increased production MlCHE1IN prices re
again reduced. The tremendous demand for tires from Europe and
from countries that have been largely supplied from Europe has made
this reduction possible. Increased production means lower cost and

MICIELlN tires will continue in the future Is IN the past to be
made in ONE QUALITY ONLY, THE BEST. Now there is n o question
that the Automobile owner q afford to use the MICIEIIN which j.
