Is There a Leak in Your
Truck Costs?
ARE you aware of the vital relation between
tire selection and tire care, on the one side,
and truck costs on the other side?
It will pay you, the owner of the business, or the
, chief executive, to concentrate on this truck tire
problem.
Maybe there is a big leak in your truck costs, due
directly or indirectly to tires, and you can stop it.
You’ve stopped the other leaks —stop this.
As a first step, we suggest that you permit our
representative to go into your problem for you.
He will explain, of course, our service. This starts
with the selection of the right size of the right
type of tire for your use.
