Treads Must Endure

Miller Treads, by our standard.
must outwear the balance of the tire.
We have attained a tread which
outwears rivals by Is per cent.
Every day our tread stock is vul-
canized, then tested, in our labora-
tory. We permit no variation.
Not a single Miller Tire with
these new-grade treads has ever
come back with the tread gone.

Tire Prices
Some False Ideas About Them

xt0VH an extra Price buy an extra
g,sdt ti'ss
!, II should not. Any frst-grade
lire should be built as well as a tire
pf that type can be built.
Cord Tires cost more than Fab
lies, and are worth the extra price.
Men who figure cost per mile are
toming to Cord Tires.
J But any tire, Cord or Fabric,
should be built for the utmost SER
NICE which that type can give.
The St. Mary banner., 1920-07-24
Every Tire Signed

We insist that Millers must be
uniform. Each tire is signed. A
record is kept of the maker, the in-
spector and the process.
If tire comes back for adjust
ment we learn the reason. If the
workman is at fault he is penalized.
If the inspector overlooked a flaw
he is held responsible. If any proc
ess or material is at fault, we cor
rect it.
After years of this checking we've
attained uniform tires. There are
whole large cities from which not a
Miller Tire came back last year.
The St. Mary banner., 1920-07-24
We Insist on This

There are three requirements
which Miller Tires must meet.
First, they must average greater
mileage, type for type, than any
rival tire.
We constantly prove this. Eight
machines in our factory run two
tires each under rear-tire conditions.
Each tire is run $50 miles daily by
running extra-fast.
The St. Mary banner., 1920-07-24

Here we constantly compare the
best other tires with Millers. Also
in ceaseless road tests. Thus, day
by day and week ~ week, we are
guarding the Miller supremacy.

Countless reports come to US ON
Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to-

of that kind are told everywhere, we
learn
But mileage depends on condi-
tions Oh size, care, load and road.
Millers are uniform, but they are
not used under uniform conditions.
In our factory tests we average
$4,000 miles on Cords.
But Miller Tire will outlast-
almost always-any tire that you
place opposite, no matter what it
costs. Compare them under like
conditions, and see what mileage
modern tires can give.
