''This is a first quality tire"

This is a first quality tire"
In the tire trade, the term "first quality
merely any tire that is not actually
damaged. Thus salesman who calls tire
first quality may really be trying to sell
you third line tire.
At MARKET TIRE, we sell only first line or
premium tires, hence we use this term only in
its true meaning: any tire which is undamaged:
"This is genuine De Luxe or Super Tire"
Fancy names like these are meaningless unless
associated with specified brand names. They
have no relation whatever to actual tire quality.
At MARKET TIRE, the descriptive terms
use are related to the brand names of the leading
manufacturers whose tires We sell exclusively.
1--WE will mount your tires free Align your wheels.
Check your brakes
Sometimes this means that you will be sent
down the street to have the job done by shop
over which the dealer has no control. You may
get talked into spending money for things you
did not expect to pay for at all.
At MARKET TIRE, we do the work our own
premises, and if repair work is necessary, we do
it at most reasonable cost to you.
"This tire is guaranteed
Here is another term that can be twisted into
a half-truth. Some dealers may not have a
written guarantee, or may forget" to give you
one, or it may contain misleading print that
the unwary do not bother to read until too late.
At MARKET TIRE, every tire we sell is accom-
panied by comprehensive written guarantee
printed in plain simple language. And we believe
are the only tire dealer who says to you-"If
you don't like our guarantee here write
your own guarantee" Well accept your guar
antee if it's anywhere near reasonable at all.
With facts like these before you, leave it to you
to decide whom you believe when you go out to buy
tire:

and confuse and mislead the motoring pubc?-OR

A committee of Is summarized
recommendations en- which the
entire group could agree. The
committee drew up this state
ment:
Since 95 percent of flue-cured
tobacco Is used for cigarettes
growers should strive to produce
ripe, mellow tobacco with med
ium body, rich clear color and
possessing full flavor and aroma
They should harvest tobacco only
when ripe, irrespective OF vari-
cites. and should avoid practices
that result in heavy bodied
lcathcry tobacco.
ut is generally agreed that
the best way to produce tobacco
with qualities acceptable to the
different scgments Of the tardc
is to follow the recommendations
of cooperating state and federal
agencies. These practices include

Variety"
During the morning discussion
1t was brought out that farmers
were encouraged this year to
produce tobacco with good body.
aroma and flavor. Because of
weather and low topping of
standard varieties, however, the
crop in some areas. particularly
tthc Old Belt. contained a high
production of thick, leathery"
leaf. Much of this tobacco went
into the government loan.
Several speakers urged that
growers in 1858 follow a mid

producing crop that is either
extremely light OF extremely
heavy.
Director Williams cited Lack
