Working on the assumption that there is too much confusion in the pricing of tires, we here at Drake's are beginning a complete package tire sale which will be in effect until Labor Day. The complete package merchandising is a brand new idea as far as we know and is a hold departure from Hie conventional tire sale where a low tire price such as $12.95 or $15.95 is featured, but, in small print the advertisements note that there are state and federal taxes to be added to the sale price, and there is a $2.50 to $4.00 charge added if the tire that you trade in is not recappable, and that you will usually have to pay another $2,00 to get your new tire balanced, Furthermore, you discover that the lire featured in the advertisements is a second or third quality tire of a size required by smaller cars such as Ford, Plymouth, or Chevrolet, and your car is a Buick, Pontiac or Olds that requires a bigger, more expensive tire. The upshot of this type of merchandising is that you read such an ad, you see I he $12.95 or $15.95 sale price, you do a few quick mental calculations and conclude that you can buy 4 new tires for your car for about $52 to $65.00. So, you go down to the store that has the sale and tell the man you want four new tires. Here you find that 'the $65,00 you have in your pocket isn't nearly enough, because the salesman adds from $9.00 to $13.00 for state and federal taxes, discovers (and he is the sole judge) that none of your old tires are recappable thereby adding another $12.00 and while the tires are being mounted tells you that they must he balanced, for another $6.00 to $8.00.

Now, you find that instead of $65,00, you are going to spend from $90.00 (o $100.00 and while you may not be aware of it, you are still buying a second-line tire. The complete package sale we are featuring for the next two weeks is designed to eliminate all of this type of confusion; and in the accompanying table you can check the size of tire that your car requires; select the type of tire, either blackwall or whitewall, tubeless or tube-type; and the advertised sale price will give you the exact amount of money necessary to put the tires on your car. All of the taxes are included; there is no extra charge id your casings are not recappable; the four-wheel balancing charge is included; and just to make this first effort a truly great value, we will include a free brake inspection and adjustment and repack the front-wheel bearings. The tires featured in this sale are Seiberling Service constructed with TYREX viscose rayon cord, and have a published list price comparable to the price of the tires that come as standard equipment on new auios. SeiberJing tires have the most complete guarantee in the industry today; not only are Seiberling tires guaranteed against defects in workmanship and material for the life of the tread, a guarantee featured by almost all tire companies; but, they are also guaranteed against all normal road hazards such as glass cuts, curb bruises, spike injuries, and impact breaks for the life of the tread.

In summary then, here is what you get with our COMPLETE PACKAGE tire deal: gel. first-line, original equipment level Seiberling tires; get all four wheels balanced; get your brakes inspected and adjusted; get front- wheel bearings inspected and repacked; and know from the accompanying table just exactly what the complete tire deal will cost you.
