Moving Pictures To
Help Out Tire Economy


Fleet "3" Of the Firestons demonstra-
ton brigade that Is touring the country
reached New York last week and was
scheduled for an official reception at
City Hall. The occasion marked tho
opening in a public way Of big cam
paign in the interests OF tire economy
that the Firestone has staged in broad
gauge way, and which is to cover the
entire country.
Linking into the present general
movement for economy in all things,
the general purpose Of the project IS
10 demonstrate the importance OF tire
economy, and particularly to show how
tires may be saved and tire mileage
increased by proper equipment and
care and also by careful driving.
As a basis Of the campaign, moving
pictures, emonstrating the costly evils
Of tire abuse, will be shown in $4,000
theatres throughout the country, while
as a feeder" three fleets Of trucks
have been put on the road. These
trucks, which are equipped with pneu-
matte tires built for passenger car use
the Frestone does not build pneu-
MATES for trucks-will cover enormous
distances in the effort to show that
high tire mileage may be rolled up
even under overload conditions where
the driving is carefully done.
