Why VIII Some
Men

Pay $500 for. a tire, get a
blowout after it has gone 5000
mi es then junk the tire when an
other possible 1000 miles could
have been realized for a little
more than $500 or at the rate Of
about $1.25 q thousand. It costs
very little more today to have
your tires repaired than it did in
1914 and the saving is three times
greater.
Now that the big snow has your
car tied up why not look the tires
over and have them fixed up for
spring. Blowouts, cuts, sand boils,
rim cuts, chain cuts, etc.
More than likely one or two
can be retreaded and will be good
for all summers wear.
We adjust retreads on a basis Of
1000 mi es at an average cost Of
$500 per thousand.
