Since July, 1916, Goodrich Deluxe
Truck Tires on the wheels of a 5-ton
truck operated by the Texas Company,
handling petroleum and its products,
with a ~75O-gallon tank astride its chassis,
has been crunching over rock-strewn
paths daily.
Yet only the other day Deluxe vet
Grams or the rear wheels gave way to
De Luxe successors, having delivered
over $4,000 miles of service In three
years.
Such heroic and c~ommendable serv-
ice from De Luxe Tires is due to the

resilient and tough as to defy penetra-
ton by rocks.
