Tire Prices Are
Now at Rock Bottom

tire prices, l believe, are at rock
bottom" said A. r. Almquist, local
Seiberling dealer, today.
THE fact is that many tire manu-
facturers have found it necessary to
reduce the number Of plies in their
tires and in other ways lower costs in
order to manufacture. profitably.
1T is real pleasure, however, to
handle Seiberling An-Treads, for the
Seiberling Rubber company stands
pledged not to reduce the number Of
plies or to lower quality in any way.
When this company first started,
Frank A. Seiberling. dts founder, who
had manufactured more than 40 mil
lion tires, announced a policy of
building the best tire he knew how
and selling it at a fair price. That
policy has never been deviated from
and today the Seiberling All-Tread is
better than ever.
There will be no compromises with
quality and that is why our sales Of
Seiberling tires are increasing right
