CUTS TIRE PRICES
10 PER CENT
EFFECTIVE JUNE 11 i
Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords have set new
standards In mileage, traction, comfort and
safety. Car owners have expressed their ap
proval of the extra value in FireBtone Gum-
Dipped Cords by increasing their purchases
one hundred ninety-four per cent (104) in the
past six months.
We have replaced many expensive branches
with warehouses. We have today one hundred
and eight (108) distributing points which are
delivering Firestone Tires to the consumer at
the lowest cost in our history.
.Follow the tide of economical tire buying—
equip with Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords—and
learn what most miles per dollar means to you
today.

Wo announce a ten (10) per gent reduction
in tires and tubes, effective June (11) eleventh.
The lowered cost of crude rubber and the spe
cial Firestone manufacturing and .distribution
advantages make this possible.
Firestone factories are organized on a basis
of large volume and effective production. Costs
are down, but quality 1b at its peak. Stock
holder workmen are dally building many thou
sands of Gum-Dipped Cords—the best Firestone
ever produced and, we believe, the leader on
the market today.
Firestone Cords took the first four places
