NEW SOLID

\ new big single solid tire for

nouneed by the United States Tire
company. The most interesting fsa.
lures OF the tire are that Its icsle n
insures tho elimination OF the chief
cause OF internal friction provides
for the dissipation Of FRACTIONAL heat
and also makes possible a moro per.
feet vulcahixation Of all parts OF the
rubber than has ever been accom-.
plished before.
The tire has been placed on the
market after a long series Of cruel
ing road and laboratory tcsts at the
eompany's truck tire plant at PROV.
idencc. =
The new tire. known as the Mono
twin. has solved all the various tire
problems effectively. Big trucks
equipped with them can travel a,
good rates Of speed without danger
OF running tho tires.
The Monotwin Is huge single
with an especially massive rubber
body. Deep Expressions occur az
regular intervals Ia the center OF
the tire.
The ne& tire is made from the
grantees rubber which Is a distinct.

Especial additional Advantages ar.
claimed for the Monotwin. The al.
