FIRE SIGNALS

and cries; and finally it bursts with
report.
1t is wrone to do this when not ne
oessary, however. The Indian does not
like to hear the death song Of the cactus.
All signals convey messages to those
who can read them. Savage Cord tires
on an automobile are a signal that all is
well. The motorist is surprised when
he finds how many miles those tires give
and how little their actual cost per mile
Of service is. To the men at the factory
though, this is not surprising at all, for
they know their tires are Built to Excel.
Quality is put into them.
