The More You Use Your Car
The More You Need Good Tires
i Your car’s usefulness is increasing every day.
It is becoming more and more of a real necessity
to you—both in your business and home life.
For that very reason you need good tires, now,
more than ever.
The out-and-out dependability that created so
tremendous a demand for United States Tires in
times of war is just as desirable today.
It reduces tire troubles to the vanishing point—
multiplying the usefulness of your car and putting
the cost of operation on a real thrift basis.
United States ‘Nobby’, ‘Chain’, ‘Usco’.and ‘Plain’
are the most popular fabric tires built. They have
all the strength and stamina our years of experience
have taught us to put into tires.
There is also the United States ‘Royal Cord’,
the finest v. built for passenger car use.
Our nearest Sales and Service Depot dealer has
exactly the treads you need for your car and the
roads you travel.
He will gladly help you pick them out.
