TOUGH TREAD |S ASSURE OWNER
 IF SAVAGE TIRE

The tread of tire, as everyone knows, is the part which bears upon the road It sustains the brunt of the battle, and its capacity for endurance is of greater importance to car owners than type design. or appearance. This capacity for endurance depends upon the quality and quantity of rubber used in the tread, the accuracy of compounding and the manner of vul- canization. The tread that will wear longest and give the least trouble IS characterized by life, or residence, while it is at the same time exceed ingly tough.
 Just as pure gold must be alloyed with a baser metal in order that 1t may wear longer, so pure rubber must be mixed with other substances to render it tough enough to withstand road service. In the makin.s of this tread compound, the quality and Quan- tity of the rubber and it's proportion to the other ingredients is important. The best treads have just the right amount of pure rubber and are gen. erously thick and heavy.
 The method of vulcanization that is used affects very decidedly the tough ness and elasticity of the tread. The means employed by the Spreckels Savage" Tire company-the wrapped tread, single open-steam method of vulcanizing-su accomplishes the curing of the entire tire, includ- ing the tread, in one operation, making an inseparable unit and reducing the danger of tread separation. The open steam cure that is used in this pro- cess makes possible tread that is tougher and more resilient than can l be produced by other methods. The l steam comes in contact with the rubber and cures it evenly and thoroughly. | Plenty of pure rubber and accurate compromising, unusual thickness and
 generous traction surface, scientific non skid design, and long wearing
 qualities that are assured by proper curing processes are the things that l determine the life of the tread on a tire Each of these points are em- phasized in the tough, wear-resistine tread of Savage tires.
