Keystone Sales Co. Putting
Perfection Tires on Map

A few weeks ago a new automobile
accessory house came to town and
took on as its main seller the Perfec-
tion tire. This new firm was the Key
stone Sales Company, located at 10S
Market street. The Perfection tire,
while new to Harrisburgers, had al
ready made itself reputation in the
middle west.
G. G. Golling, the manager of the
keystone Sales Company, immediate
ly began spreading Perfection propo-
Ganda and in an interview yesterday
says, THE Perfection tire is the
coming tire in Harrisburg. The name
| Perfection has a meaning namely,
| perfect. The Perfection tire is the re-
suit of extensive tests both in the
| laboratory and on the road. 1t was
built to out do any other tire on the
market and for that reason a large
number of experiments were made to
determine what process would be the
| best in the making of the tire so that
| 1t would give longer and better serv-
ice than the average tire of to-day.
Finally an asbestos breaker strip and
| one layer of asbestos fabric was built
into the tire and it was found that
this was the ideal combination to Sc
cure the desired results. This asbes-
| tos acts as q protection in the curing
process ana also auQS strength TO the
tire after it is on the road. The as
| bestos allows slower and more in
tensive curing which thoroughly
unite all the rubber in a perfect vul-
canization.
I'VE have sold surprisingly
large number in the past few weeks
The results have exceeded our expec-
tations and for this reason feel sure
that the Perfection is a sure conner
We have any number of inquiries in
regards to these tires. A good many
people think that this tire is so much
more expensive than the average
tire and are much much surprised
when they learn that it is not any
more, expensive than another tire"
The Keystone Sales Company also
distribute the Kely-Springfield, Ajax
| and Sterling tires, and do a general
gasoline, oil and accessory business.
