Paul Turner, at torney at law, ( i'ficc in the court house, McDonough, Ga. Attention AUTOMOBILE OWNERS! It is an absolute fact that water will rot cotton* An automobile tire is made of several plies of cotton fabric cut on the bias, and cemented together, then the rubber tread, sides and heads T'e tden put on and vulcan ized. When there is a cut or snag in the tread or side walls of a tire it allows water and sand to enter, and the sand with its sharp cutting edges separates the fabric and tread when water seeps in the fabric begins to decay. I now have in my shop a complete Meam Vulcanizing Plant and can make any kind of repairs on any size tires from 2 1-2 to 5 inches Don’t think because you have a tire that is tread cut, rim cut, or has an ugly biowaut in it that it is ready for the junk pile. Briny it to me and I will vulcanize it at a minimum cost. Also tubes that have been blown out be.ond patching, I splice them by pulling in new pieces and make them good as new. I use nothing in my repairs but toe best grade of rubber and fabric, and every job i do is absolutely guaranteed to last as long as any otier part of the tire. Give me a trial arid I will prcve to you that I ca.i save you money by repairing your tires, and wait a while longer to buy new ones.
