DON'T THROW AWAY OLD TIRES

Is the injunction OF Harry 3. Houpt,
president of the Hudson Motor Car
Company of New York.
Few tires are completely worn out
when thrown away. Most Of them are
capable Of considerable extra mileage II
given a little help. A rim out patch or
an inside tire protector will often add
hundreds Of miles to the life OF the
tire.
"A rim cut patch is designed for ap-
plication on the inside of the tire and
Is constructed with flaps which fit un-
derneath the head of the tire on both
sides TO hold the patch in place. 1t Ia
flexible and enduring and once applied
Is out Of sight and mind. Tires which
seem to be hopelessly rim cut are given
a new lease OF life after being reen-
forced by a good rim cut patch.
And then there Is the inside tire pro-
tector, which is designed to provide
complete reenforcements for worn and
weakened castings. Its use often adds
several thousand miles to tire life that
appears to be about ended. 1t Ia APP
piled on the inside OF the tire, as its
name suggests. and provides at q very
low cost many miles that otherwise
would be lost.
Anything that will give a tire longer
life will keep real, J!ngling dollars in the
car owners pocket and will put Off the
day when the purchase OF a new tire
would otherwise be necessary. We are
not for economy that goes to the extent
Of scrimping, but we believe that IL the
millions Of tires available in this coun-
try are run properly and conservation
principles observed In their use there
will be tires enough for everybody"
