We Set Tire
Standards
Why is it that United States Tires
are setting new records for mileage
and serviceability ?
Why is it that the sales of these
tires are constantly mounting by-
leaps and bounds ?
The answer is found in the fac
tories where United States Tires are
made.
Standards of construction for
these tires are higher than ever be
fore known in the tire industry.
Makers of tire fabrics tell us that
the standards we have given them*
for United States Tire fabrics are
higher than any previously known.
Likewise through every process
of construction from crude rubber
to finished tires—we have set new
and higher standards everywhere.
These standards work out on your
car in the practical economy de
manded by war-times. <
United States Tires will raise any
car to higher efficiency.
There is a type to suit every con
dition of service.
The nearest United States Sales
and Service Depot dealer will cheer
fully aid in selecting right tires for
your requirements.
