Take Care of
Your Tires

Americas greatest need is for ships
more ships.
Every available vessel is being utilized
in government service.
Many ships that have been carrying rubber from
Sumatra and Brazil have been taken tor active
transport duty. The number now lett to bring
rubber to this country is extremely limited.
This will necessarily force temporary curtail-
ment of tire production.
So make the most of the tires you haze.
Use good tires.
Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect
