AMATEUR PATCHING ON
TIRES RUINS THOUSANDS
OF CASTINGS EACH YEAR

Amateur tire patching ruins thou
sands OF automobile tires each year.
II is a common practice among auto
mobile owners when receiving a cut
or puncture in a tire to insert
patch on the inside OF the casing at
the point Of injury. thinking that the
damage is permanently repaired.
Such a repair will in time ruin any
tire, says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Co.
II is good practice to apply
patches in such cases but q tire
sleeve should always be placed on
the outside OF the tire opposite the
patched portion at the same time.
The sleeve serves to bind the tire.
hold the torn and injured parts OF
the fabric in place and prevent fur
Their chatting and rupture.
The tire sleeve and patch are
merely first aid" appliances and
should DO removed at the earliest
possible moment. II will pay motor
lists TO drive TO the nearest repair
man immediately after the injury
occurs. II allowed TO run without re-
pair every time the wheel makes a
revolution the tire quiokens It's pace
toward the scrap heap.
