BLACKLOCK-POSNER
IN NEW BUILDING

Blackjack Posner Tire company, dis
tributors and retailers for large line
of tires and accessories. have Just oc-
cupied the adjoining building to their
old store at 429 South Twentieth
street. They started few years ago
with q small place and by dealing
fairly with the automobile trade they
have fostered large trade which has
forced them to larger floor space. They
maintain modern vulcanizing depart
ment where they do treading and dcu-
bile treadtng of tires. They were the
first people to introduce this new idea
which has saved the motor car own
ers thousands OF dollars on their tire
bills.
"A tire that has been worn down
can be vulcanized and made. to look
like a, new tire said Mr.. Posner.
Modern science has enabled us to de-
veIop the art of vulcanizing so per-
fectly that we are leaders in our line.
Orders are received from everywhere
in Alabama for tire vufcanizing, and
