Paul Turner, at torney at law. t t'fi .**» in the court house, McDonough, Co. Attention AUTOMOBILE OWNERS! It is an absolute fact that water will rot cotton. An automobile tire is made of several p ies of cotton fabric cut on the bias, and cemented together, then the* rubber tread, sides and beads are then put on and vulcan ized. When there is a cut or snag in the trea or side walls of a tire it allows water and sand to enter, and the sand with its soar, cutting edges separates the Übric and tread when water seeps in the fabric begins h decay. I new have in my shop a complete Vulcanizing Plant and can make any kind of repairs on any size tires from 2 1-2 to 5 henes Don't think because you have a tire that is tread cut. rim cut, or has an ugly J'lwout in it that it is ready for the junk pile. Bring it to me and i will vulcanize it at a minimum cost. Also tubes that have been blown out bevond patching, i splice them by pa ; .ig in new pieces a t make them good as new. i use nothing in my repairs ba*. me best g»ade of ruuoer and fabric, and every job I do is absolutely guaranteed to last as long as an? ot ier part ot tne tire. Give me atrial and I will prove to you that ! can save you money by repairing your tires, and wait a while longer to buy new ones.
