That is why, even with it's con- stantly enlarging capacity, the United States Tire Company is unable to keep pace with the growing demand for it's tires.
 Compared to the millions of United States Tires sold so few are returned for adjustment that the adjustment problem insofar as it con- cerns users of United States Tires, has become one of minor importance.
 If, at any time during it's life, any United States Tire proves defective, it's owner is entitled to a fair and square adjustment-an adjustment that is backed by the good faith of the oldest and largest rubber manu- featuring company in the world.
