LARGER TIRES

Manufactures coming up to

without doubt to have greatly i'm
proved, enlarged and refined their

the tire.
SO believes "General' Ben Her
ring of Ben Herring Rubber com
rany, General Tire distributors in

According to "Gencral' Herring,
the manufacturers of popular pric-
ed automobiles whose products this
year are receiving more favorable
attention and consideration on the
part of the public than ever before
in the automobile 5 history, have
missed Il good bet in negIecting to
specify as standard factory equip
ment, tires matching the increased
size, good appearance and general
excellence of the new ears them
selves.
"sTo put it bluntly,' says the

Of speedy, new, good looking popular
priced ears are going to bump along

worked, understood tires.
And here's why continued
the 'Gcncral The new cars are

machines. They are generally speak
ing, - to - percent heavier, % to
% percent faster and some Of them
@re a good 30 percent spcedier on
