The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever. Came to Market


In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac1
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
noted as a leader in every

of knowledge and standards and

vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For In
tire making there is vast room for
skimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization OF
tire makers includes a brilliant staff
of technical experts. Not a man
