Good Tires Now at Low Prices

1T is easy to recall a time when
there was not as much pleasure being
in the tire business as there Is today"
remarked Stanley Husscy of the
Brooks Hardware Co.. dealer in United
States tires.
Not so many years ago II was fool
ish for any molorist to start out on a
long journey without taking along his
overalls so as to be ready to make tire
repairs every few miles. and selling
tires was not a satisfactory business.
But today we have tires that reel of
thousands Of miles without any mar.
ring circumstances. The best record
is $4,000 miles made by Boston mer.
chant on a set of Royal Cords.
It's pleasure to sell goods that
have real quality in them. During the
war and afterwards for number Of
years prices of quality tires were so
high that people found it difficult to
buy first class goods. But today we
dealers have the added pleasure Of be-
ing able to give our customers the fin-
est line of tires ever made and at the
lowest prices in history"

Why Motorists No Longer Ask for
Tire Guarantee

Did you ever reflect" said a Good
rich representative the other day,
that the motorist no longer asks for
a guarantee on his tires?"
And do you realize" he continued
"that this fact proves beyond shadow
of doubt that tire making has passed
the experimental stage?
I'm the old days (and not so long
ago. either) we heard a great deal Of
talk about guarantee and adjustments,
but now the buyer does not even think
of these things when he buys a stand
ard make of tire.
81 remember when car statesmen
would lose sales to farmers, because
they had a blowout while demonstrate
ing the car. The farmer was off the
car when he thought he might buy tire
trouble with his car. And any car
driver knows that up to within few
years ago, one always drove with the
fear of a blowout, marring their
pleasure.
but in the language Of the car
toonist, them days is gone forever.
Motorists buy tires with confidence, as
sured they will get more miles than
any guarantee figures. Eight. ten or
even 5000 miles are expected, where
as, the old time motorist was sur
prised If he exceeded $500 or 5000
miles.
''While scientific construction has
tripled the uniform durability Of tires
in very few years. the process has
been so consistent that few people real
ize the tremendous importance Of the
change that has been wrought"
