Judging from the continued in

Mr.. Arthur Mcpherson, local
Seiberling dealer located at Water

more freely, people don't gamble
on inferior merchandise. That's
why I'm selling so many sets Of
Seiberling Two-Tread Air. Cooled
Tires. Wise Elizabeth City motor
lists aren't r:Sking their lives on
smooth, thin, dangerous rubber
they're buying the Seiberling Two
Tread tires that never wear
smooth.
You know these tires actually
have two threanS, one unnerly-
ing the other. When the top tread
wears off-at about the same
mileage that ordinary tires wear
out-the second tread appears,
giving thousands of miles of ad-
ditional safe traction and wear. s"
Mr.. Arthur Mcpherson reports
that his store is open daily and
urges Elizabeth City motorists to
call there and see this remarkable
patened tire demonstrated. He
always ha sa complete stock of all
sizes on hand.
1t is the most economical tire
on the market" says Mr.. McPher-
son, and I'll be glad to prove it."
