How are YOU going
to meet increased
tire cost?

The second advance in tires since January
first will cause the economical buyer to care
fully inspect his old tires before discarding
them. He's going to get out Of those tires every
mile of which they capable.
And he is going to take lot better care of
his tires this year than ever before. He is 60
ing to watch them more carefully for small
cuts and bruises, use better Judgment in driv-
ing over bad roads, and have needed repairs
made promptly.
The wise tire buyer will we think agree
with us that tires should be purchased where
first class tire service stands behind each sale
Just as it does behind the sale of automobiles.
The dealer who considers the transaction clos
ed when he sells you tire and receives your
money has the wrong idea.
With us, service stands behind every tire we
sell, clear up to the limit of the guaranteed
mileage. We believe that repair shops are in
tended to save tire expense, not increase it.
For this purpose we maintain an excellently
equipped vulcanzing plant, where every man
ner of tire repairing is made promptly by ex-
pert workmen. The small cut or bruise and the
retreading of an old casing are given the same
careful attention. Every repair job that leaves
our shop is as perfect as human skill can make
it-and Our guarantee goes with it.
If your old tires still have lot of mileage in
them, let us make the repairs necessary to put
them back into the running; you will be sur
prised at the extra hundreds of miles they will
give you at small cost.
If you must buy new tires why not select
them from our stock, and have behind each tire
the unlimited dependable service of Our repair
department?
