A pair shop within call A time
perhaps when every minute countsl a
blowout comesl And you thought the
tire was as sound as newt
What is it that causes such tire to
60 bad? Why is there this constant
threat of tire trouble?
A few years ago four tire experts in
the Thcrmoid Rubber Company dc
cided to find out They learned that
the whole life of tire hinges on the
evenncSs with which the necessary
strengthening materials are mixed with
the pure rubber gum.
1.-THE resulting compound is filled with
"lumpy" formations, the tire rapidly
weakens and elbows out" on the road.
If the compound is blended evenly and
smoothly, the result is greatly increased
wear.

What makes a tire go bad
when it looks as sound
as new!
Remarkable new rubber compound

Remarkable new rubber compound
Studying the problem further, the
Thermoid scientists at last perfected
Crolide-a rubber compound that re-
duccs 'lumpy" formations to a mini
mum-that eliminates premature tire
troubles. This even-texture rubber
docs not weaken with the stretching
and straining that goes on inside tire.
Crolide Compound is today used exclusively
in the manufacture of Thermoid Tires. Either
the Cord or Fabric type gives maximum mile
age under all road and weather conditions.
We have compared the Thermoid Tire care
fully, point by point, with other tires on the
market today, and we confidently believe that
no other tire compares with it for service and
durability.
You are invited to call and see these new
tires for yourself-also the famous Crolide
Compound Tubes.

The little Small-town sympathy
that knows and understands.
Thy cities, God, are builded high
with carven stone on stone.
But hearts may ache, and lives
may droop unheeded and

And souls may dwell unknown, un.

Not so the quiet, home-sweet lives
