See what he writes about his
Dayton Cords: “My Thoro
bred Cords have delivered 15,-
000 miles over all kinds of
Texas roads and under every
condition that can test the stuff
in a tire. To date the wear is
hardly perceptible, and unless I
get another 15,000 miles I will
be badly surprised. As for the
usual tire troubles, I don’t know
the meaning of the word.”—
