This Firestone record could
only have been made through
furnishing the public with
outstanding values and is,
consequently, your assur-
ance of quality and lowest
prices.
If you would like to know
more Of this wonderful record,
ask your Firestone dealer to
send you an illustrated folder.
With today's high cost of
crude rubber and other raw

volume and special advanta-
ges in buying, manufacturing
and distribution.
