Tires are different on the inside they are built with the patented extra process of Gum-Dipping that soaks every cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid rubber, preventing internal friction and heat. No other make of tire is Gum-Dipped. When you realize that there were 882,000 automobile accidents in 1934, injuring 954,000 people and killing 36,000, and that 43,000 of these accidents were caused by blowouts, punctures and skidding, you will be more interested in the make of tires you use on your car.

Firestone performance records again emphasize the undisputed evidence that Firestone Tires are not only blowout-proof, but give greatest protection against skidding. There are three questions and answers that will solve the problem of what tires to buy: despite the dry weather. remain over to attend the Young Five 4-H club boys who spent last week attending short course at Gainesville, and 43 4-H club girls who accompanied five or six adult leaders to Villa Tasso camp, returned to Tallahassee Saturday, ending recreational activities and special schooling for this summer.

Frank Hartsfield joined his family this week-end at Carra-belle, where they are vacationing briefly in a cottage belonging to QUESTION they blowout-proof?" ANSWER Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have the most amazing records foi being blowout-proof of any tires ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 30th, every one of the 33 cars was equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires. Kelly Petillo won the race and broke the record over this 26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble in fact, not one of the 33 drivers had tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5,000 pound ear on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles in 23V hours, ot an average speed of 1 27.2 miles per hour, with temperatures as high as 1 20, without tire trouble of any kind. These are most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known.

QUESTION sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage, thus making them the most economical tires I can buy?" ANSWER-Fi restone High Speed Tires not only give you more than 50 longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile. This is made possible by the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher shoulders and a wider, flatter contour. This thick, rugged, scientifically designed tread is held securely to the Gum-Dipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread. This is a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Unequaled mileage records by thousands of car owners add undisputed evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires.
