How The Master Driver
I N 1903, driving the “999” racing
car, Barney Oldfield started his
career of victories that later
earned him the title of “Master
Driver of The World.” To over
come the tire weaknesses that made
racing difficult and dangerous, he
studied tires—specified materials—
supervised construction.
Today, Barney Oldfield is known
as the “Master Tire Builder.”
Starting with the crude tires which
carried the “999” one mile in sixty
seconds, Oldfield gradually de
veloped,his famous Cords—a set of
which covered BOO miles at eighty-
eight miles an hour without a
change.
In three years Oldfield tires have
won ©very important race on Amer
ican speedways. They are the only
American tires that have ever taken
first place in the French Grand Prix.
They have won for three consecu
tive years in the 500-mile Indian
apolis Sweepstakes. So far in 1922,
Oldfields have lowered four World’s
Records and seven track records.
The Wichita Test Run gave evi
dence of Oldfield superiority in tour
ing—when a set of four Cords cov
ered 34,525 miles over rutted, frozen,
winter roads—a performance at
tested by the Mayor of Wichita, f U
l .
See your dealer and get a set of
these rugged tires that Barney Old-.
field has developed and perfected
through a lifetime of practical tire
experience. Their performance will
convince you that they are “The
Most Trustworthy Tires Built.”^
