This triumph Of Silvertowns was in
no sense "a coincidence II was the cul j.

DE Palma made two stops and Resta
one Neither had tire trouble of any
consequence. and both were equipped
with Silvertown tires. Until one week
ago De Palma intended to use fabric

Cord tires he changed to Silvertowns.
Ihat he showed good judgment goes
without saying"
Referring to the indianapolis race.

DE Palma, as we'll as most of the
other drivers entered in the race, used
Goodrich Silver,own Cord tires. There
never was less tire trouble in any

respondent said
Less tires were used than in any
previous classic. Like wise they were
good tires. II was a big ,riuunh

Never before has any tire dominated

come anywhere near winning such an
extra ordinary testimonial as is consti-
tutcu by the almost unanimous choice
OF Silvertown Cord Tires for the scorch-
ing. gruelling ordeal of this 500 mile

such serHice-both in the matter Of
