Millions Of automobile tires turn

manufacturers are the product of an
artificial climate created by air con-
d%itioning experts employed by the
big companies.
From the time the crude rubber
is cut from the trees in far-off
tropics, through all the vagaries and

finished tire is finally mounted on

created almost the entire gamut OF

Introduction Of ingenious mechan-

tire and rubber industry on the
greatest mass production basis in
history and is bringing down costs
TO the lowest on record. according to
engineers in the industry who a-e

super-tire, good for 10000 to $4,000

With all rubber producing nations
seeking trade pacts which are ex-

market, combined with greater pro-
ductive efficiency of American
plants. such leaders in the industry
as Fisk, Firestone, Goodyear, Good

that they will benefit and share
more than ever with the record
