NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate SupertUe Values Prefer The Brunswick

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 ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 184S.-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"a perfect tire is simply matter
OF knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
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'e
build high-grade tires.

tire makers includes a brilliant staff

20 years in handling rubber.
Each is a. master of his craft.
And the new ideas they bring to
the attention of Brunswick direc-
tors receive sincere consideration.
Every proved betterment is
adopted unanimously.
The Brunswick Tire Is a combi-
nation of acknowledged features
plus Brunswick standards of manu-
facture.
The result is super-tire. the like
of which you have never known be-
fore. The kind of a tire you will
gladly join in welcoming.
Yet Brunswicks cost no more
than like-type tires.

that you will want ALL Bruns-
wicks.
Then good tires will have a new
meaning to you.
