Another attractive feature of the
Wiregrip is that no chains are need

MORE ABOUT WIRE.
GRIP TIRES

1t will be remembered that in a re-
cent issue Fennell and Rector told Of
the merits Of Wiregrip tires. I'll ey
say that the lasting qualities are due
partly to the vanadium steel coils.
These, they say, contribute to the
life OF the tire, besides furnishing
so per cent puncture-proof tire while
being used.
1.-The extra layer of fabric, all
composed of II IA ounces; the ex-
ira heavy breaker strip, the pure
gum cushion stock, the extra thick
tread, and the further fact that all
tires are hand made, semiwrapped
cured, thus eliminating buckling of
the frame, are a few of the many
reasons why the Wiregrip wears lon
ger than other tires on the market.
1T will not be long before the ad-
vocates of cord tires will lose their
assurance that they are using tires
which give them the greatest mile
age and the longest wear, as many
users of Wiregrip claim to have out
worn two cord tires in comparative
tests.
Durability and dependability are
the main features of the Wiregrip.
Other tires are cheaper, if you con-
slider initial cost only. No other tire
is more economical, il length of ser
vice and freedom from punctures
