PNEUMATIC TRUCK
TIRES FOR FARMERS

The passenger automobile has al
ready completely reyolutionized life
on the farm and now the motor truck
bids fair to bring other fully as i'm
portant results to the farmers of
America, says the United States Tire
Company.
The one thing that has done most
to make the motor truck available
for use in the farming districts has
been the development by the United
States Tire Company. of the big Pneu-
matte tire for trucks. These pneu-
matics offer many decided advanta-
ges over solid tires for farm and
country use.
One of the most important fea-
lures connected with the use of the
big pneumatics is that they do not
cut up the roads the way solids do.

In addition, they are able to travel
easily over sandy and muddy roads
where solids would get stuck. This
ability to negotiate bad stretches of
road is especially true of the big
Nobby Cords of the United States
Tire Company because the big "nobs"
give excellent traction. 1t is not an
uncommon sight on country roads to
see a truck on pneumatics pulling a
truck on solids out of some bad spot.
Besides these advantages, pneu-
matte cord truck tires save depre-
citation and repairs on cars, and op-
crate on much less gas and oil. They
travel much faster than vehicles on
solids, and consequently can cover
much greater distances.
