Samson Company
Gives Guarantee

While most manufacturers put
30 day guarantee on their tires
against defects in material and
workmanship, the Samson Tire and
Rubber Corporation, according to
Glen Wire, local distributor, still
put straight $4,000 mile guaran-
tee, against defects in material and
workmanship.
This is entirely taken care of by
local dealer, so that tine motorist
does not have to send in claim
to the tire eompanay, and wait till
he gets a return on the claim, as
was formerly the case. All that is
necessary now is to bring the tire
in and have the adjustment made
and settled on the spot.
This is proving a decided advan-
tage to the car owner, and is being
appreciated more and more by mo-
torists all over the country. The
reason for this kind of adjustment
is found in the fact that so few of
these tires come back for ad lust
ment, that the, corporation can we'll
afford to be liberal when any do 90

a new regulation in the Chinese post

The speculation was based on the
difference in value of the Debated
