AT LAST
All Tires Guaranteed
On A COSt>Per>Mile Basis!
NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, MARKET TIRE BRINGS you
UNIQUE NEW TREADWEAR GUARANTEE
AND AN IMPROVED ROAD HAZARD GUARANTEE
both based on actual miles uSed-with no time limit

Now, Market Tire Company guarantees
EVERY TIRE WE sELL-new, used, change
over or recap-for an EXACT, STATED
NUMBER OF MILES, rather than com.
paratively meaningless number of months.
With the introduction of this unique new
kind of guarantee, Market Tire has taken
the gueSswork and confusion out of your
tire buying.
Now, before you buy any tire, you will
KNOW exactly how many miles you are
paying forever if it is damaged by road
hazard (the only guarantee given with most
other tres and even if it simply wears out
before its time covered by our unique
new TREADWEAR Guarantee). OF course,
if the tire exceeds the guaranteed mileage,
then everybody is ahead-which is the sort
of thing we at Market Tire like to see hap
pen to our customers.
Let's look at it another way. Suppose your
tire should wear out before the guarantee
period has expired land this can happen
even with the finest of tires), your loss is
NOT COVERED IN ANY WAY by the or
binary Road Hazard Guarantee. But this
same tire, purchased at Market Tire Co.,
would be covered by our new TREADWEAR
Guarantee, as we'll as our ROAD HAZARD
Guarantee-and you would receive credit
towards the purchase of another tire based
upon the UNUSED MILEAGE, and the
actual price you paid for your tire.
So, whenever you buy a NEW, USED,
CHANGEOVER or RECAP TIRE from
Market Tire Co. you will know =.
Regardless of how long you keep your
tires-five months or five years-these
unique new TREADWEAR and ROAD

Luther King in Georgia when he
was campaigning in 1860 for the
presidency, John F.. Kennedy was
regarded by Negroes as having a
sympathy for their cause, un-
matched by any other president.
Since Emarf ipador, only the
late Franklin d. Roosevelt ap-
preached the confidence of Ne
groes, large and small, enjoyed by
President Kennedy.
While many believed President
Roosevelt's compassion for the Ne
gro stemmed more from his sensi-
tive wife, Eleanor, he, was never
as fortnight on racial issues as
President Kennedy.
AS a senator, he showed no
indication of the depth of under
standing he later acquired about
racial matters.
Perhaps no President in the his
tory of the United States, with the
exception Of Abraham Lincoln who
was also assassinated, served in
the White House at a time when
racial issues were Of greater ma
tional and international signific-
ance.
In contrast with the days Of
Lincoln, every utterance, every
action by President Kennedy on
racial matters was under close
scrutiny by the world.
During President Kennedy's ad-
mlnistrauon more than a score Of
African countries, unknown except
to geographers in Lincoln's day,
became Independent nations and
voting members of the worlds
greatest international tribunal, the
United Nations.
Their emergence from obscurity
and the sympathy Of their black
brothers in the United States made
President Kennedy's attitude on
racial issues of paramount import
