Georges Tire Shop, being rushed continually beyond ca
oac;ty in the basement ON High street, was compelled to move to
more larger quarters, and while we were about it we not only
moved to larger quarters but located where our customers could
get to our place of business without going far out of their way
and also find much better parking space while having tires
charged or tubes repaired while they wait.
We are particularly well situated and ever ready to change
tires or initiate tires for women customers
Our regular customers viii be pleased to know the streets
on both sides of the shop are well paved and our famous free air
station is in full bloom.
We not only now have the most complete tire repair shop
but also the largest in this state, doing more work and requiring
more men than any Of the largest cities Owing to the high price
of tires and repair material our prices have not increased cor
respondingly, although they are a little higher on tire repairs
than most of our competitors, but as we keep a record of each
and every tire repaired we are confident they are worth much
more than we ask
We invite competition and expect only what we deserve.
There S no repair on a tire that we cannot do and guarantee
1t to stay repaired and there is no guarantee more liberal than
ours. The date of repair being embossed right into the repair
shows the date and your speedometer shows you the miles.
The cheapest miles in a tire are those that you get after you
have your tires vulcanized, whether il be a blowout, rimcut, sand
boil or blister, refined or ~rethreaded, provided it is done right
and backed by the right guarantee.
We are only too pleased to receive and return work to ont of
town customers by parcel post.
You will be surprised to know how little trouble and money
you need 10 spend for a few months more wear on that annar.
entity worthless tire or tube. We often give 10 fer l and never
less than j for l or your money bach.
