A number of substantial gains were made by the second strlns backs around the varsity flanks. However, the varsity backs gained through the seconds just as easily. manner In which the broke through Indicates that the Mllilkin defense must tighten like a vise Jn order to stop the shifty elusive DePauw backs.

Put truck tires within the same focus. Twenty-four thousand miles from a set of Goodrich De Luxe Truck Tires on a 5-ton model operated by the Koken Companies, large St. Louis manufacturers, gives ample opportunity to judge of the merit of these tires.

With service no lighter--no heavier ---than that met by tires on your truck, this performance serves typically to prove the uniformly high mileage returns De Luxe Tires give. And when the Koken Companies declare this mileage surpasses any they have been able to obtain with other makes, it is reasonable to presume that De Luxe Tires are better and more economical. i Make your next renewal De Luxr. 10,000 MILES ADJUSTMENT We Sell and Apply De Luxe Tires J.
