Other industrials were quotably higher with coppers but shipping issues moved contrarily.

I'VE like your Troads very much,
and have many inquiries about them.

Your Heavy Special tire covers
have given us a great deal Of pleasure
and also a feeling Of security during
our drives through both cities and
country. 1t is always a great relief
to you when you are certain of your
tires, and you sure are when the Brict-
sons are on. Knowing your car will
stop when you want il. and that it will
not slide or slip, takes a big load from
the drivers mind.

NINE MONTHS UNDER 5000
POUNDS

Regarding your inquiries about
Brictson Tires. Don't hesitate one
minute; get them particularly for your
driving wheels, you will get much
pleasure and satisfaction from their
use.
Il wish here to relate with satisfac-
ton, some of my experience. You like
ly have had your share.
This is under hard usage, it cost
from $4,000 to S26.00 every two weeks,
for castings on the driving wheels.
They-the agents-told me there was
no tire that would stand it, the car
weighs 300 10 and trailer 500 ID with
a load of 1000 m to $500 10. With the
Brictson Tire, under the same condi-
tons, never cost US a thought of tires
nor inner tubes, for nearly min
months.
They are nov orn out. They got
damaged on the sides, ruts on the
roads got them. Although the outer
rim was, or mailed part, was still fit
for more service when discarded"

'BRlCTSON' Tires have stood the 'goff'
so well on our Ford touring car, | anu
getting the tires started in this sec
ton.
Nov | would like to have some
understanding as to where | stand as

these tires extensively and to push the
sale of them.
Il would like to have the following
counties, in Arkansas and Missouri:
Oregon and Howell, in Missouri.
Fulton, Sharpe and Randolph Couu-
ties in Arkansas.
would only want TO be protected
from other dealers selling tires in this
territory, as the way things are look
ing now these tires are going like hot
cakes.
eff the tires | sold Mr.. McGuffee
stand up for two months running, |

VERY BEST TIRE INSURANCE
MAN CAN BUY"

I'm reply to your letter concerning
Brictson Treads, will say that l have
used these Treads only about four
months, having bought my car in April,
1915 and the Treads in July, using
them only on the rear wheels.
I'm my opinion they are the very
best tire insurance a man can buy,
81 have had a peck of trouble with
the plain rubber tires having two tack
and one glass puncture; one of the
tack punctures running an inner tube
and breaking the walls of the casing
before | stopped the car.
Il have had no p%unctures with the
Treads; the only care | give them is 10
see that air pressure is up to that
recommended by the Tire Co, and an
occasional dressing of NeatsfOot oil to
keep water from cracking the leather.
IF your rubber tires have not had
over 1000 miles it would pay to put
the Treads on, but if they have gone
farther better wear them out, and then
buy the whole Brictson Tire, this is
the plan | am following"

ENTIRE SATISFACTION IN NEW
EOUNDIAND

II shall feel obliged if you will send
me by first opportunity, two more of
your S95x135 Brictson Tires such as
you shipped me before. Owing to some
hitch in your export entries you will
remember that on the last occasion
the tires were delayed in New York
and took nearly two and a half
months to get here. | shall, therefore,
feel greatly obliged if you will arrange
to have the shipment made immed-
lately for export and consigned to
Messrs. Bowring & Co., II Battery
Place, New York, for shipment via
Red Cross Line. If you will draw
upon me as before your draft
will be honored Immediately upon pre-
s%entation.

me before have been fitted, as l wrote
you, to the Rolls Royce Car, and are
giving entire satisfaction, so | have
no doubt that many repeat orders will
be coming in the near future"

THREE TIMES LONGER ON TRUCK
THAN TIRES

"In reply to your letter Of the 14th
inst, relative to the Brictson Tire,
wish to state that l am using their
Heavy Car Type Tread on the rear
wheels of a Buick truck, capacity
1900 10; they give me a satisfactory
service in that. This first set have
lasted nearly three times as long as
the common rubber tires, that l first
used.
THE loss of speed or increase in
gasoline consumption after thes, tires
have been put on, have been in my
judgment, very light.
81 believe that the mos. economical
way to run with Brictson products, Is
to put their Treads on used common
rubber tires; this combination lasts as
long as the complete tire and tread
bought from them"

them, | certainly would not use them
while the Brictson tires carry a

miles against a punCture, | have
driven them more than twonty-one

There is not another tire manufac-
turcd IN this country TO my knowledge
that can be driven from northern

than usual and am satisfied this Tread
saved tires for me in every way.

Received your letter quite a while
ago, noting you would send me a cover
for my casing for $500 postpaid.
That looks reasonable enough alright,
but my car in town with a broken hub
and worn out low gear. and l guess be-
fore they get it together it will cost
me about $4,000, so l don't feel like or
dering anything this winter for the
roads are getting pretty bad and l
think will put it away for the winter.
81 saw one Of your cover on a 33x4
casing. and it was on a taxi cab. He
was just taking it off. 1t had worn
out. He said it had gone 10000 miles.

have been using the Brictson Treads
for the past three years and find them
very satisfactory. Have used two Of

worn out set of studs and had them re-
treaded. The castings are practically
as good a. new and will stand restud-
ding several more times. Run from
1000 to 5000 miles with them.

back tires by having the steel treads
on the front as it breaks the sharp

using the Treads and certainly would
recommend them"
