WHOSE WORD WILL You TAKE
FOR BLOWOUT PROTECTION?

Low wheels, larger tires, and the high speeds
of today make blowout protection in your tires vital
to your safety as never before. Are you accepting
exaggerated and unsupported advertising and sales
claims-or are you accepting the judgment of men
who risk their lives on their tires and know from
experience the tire that gives them the greatest
blowout protection!
Thirtyihree race drivers and their mechanics
lined up for the dangerous, gruelling grind of the
5OO-Mile Race at the indianapolis Speedway May
3Oth. FirestOne Tires were purchased and used on
every one of the thirty-three cars.
Kelly PetillO won the race al an average speed
of 100 miles per hour. Wilbur Shaw was second,
flashing across the finish line just behind the
winner. Both drivers broke the track record without
tire trouble. In fact, not one of the thirty-three
drivers had tire trouble of any kind.
For sixteen consecutive years Firesione Tires
have been ON the winning car. The race this year
simply emphasizes again the undisputed evidence
that FiresiOne Gum-Dipped Tires have the greatest
stamina and blowout protection.
Gum Dipping is one Of the outstanding
reasons why FirestOne Tires give such amazing
performance. BY this process every cotton cord IL
soaked and every strand is insulated with pure
liquid rubber, preventing internal friction and heat,
the main cause of blOwOuis. Cum-Dipping il a
patented extra process not used in any other make

|Ained in an annual summary OF

It shows about 1900 carloads OF
abbage moved from the Valley
uring the past season BY rail. and
oproximately 30 cars BY truck.
his is one OF the lightest seasons
Tor the Valley in years, the crop
eing reduced BY two thirds by the
anuary freeze.
The report shows that the market
in November at $40 a ton

H. the fall. and then sagged 70 $40
Lno less in January, when the VAL
ley and Corpus Christi attempted
10 work out an agreement to hold
Ehe price there.

hort the crop and started the
market up 10 a peak Of SIS a ton
Ia March. The price remained above
81 from February IL through the
emainder OF the season, although
shipments were light during that
beriod.
The average return on the crop Is
al $500 a car on a total
crop OF 1000 cars. or about 100000
kross return.
The report shows several interest

The Lower Valley cabbage acre
age the past season was 10000, as
against 1900 the previous year.
and 5000 the season before that.
In the Corpus Christi section the
crop was a practical failure. due 70
