"Talk to the repair men. They can tell you the kind of tires that come to them most often and point out the weak spots that cause repeated tire failures. "Of course, punctures are likely to occur in any tire, but some tires punc- ture easier than others because of poor construction. Punctures in many cases, lead to quick and costly ruin. Moisture penetrates the hole, rots the plies, and the tire's life is soon ended. "Rim cuts, bruise breaks, rut wear, play separation and bead failure are other troubles that bring tires to the repair shop. "Repair men report that Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords make fewer visits to the repair shops than any other tires. Through long years of experi- ence and exclusive manufacturing methods, Firestone has been able to produce tires to overcome many of the common causes of tire failure. "By Gum-Dipping, each and every strand of cord is impregnated and in- sulated with rubber. This provides ex- tra strength and stamina. TEA FOR BLOCK CAPTAINS Mrs. Howard Shaw, 1004 Spruce street, gave a tea Monday, March 29, for all of her block captains in Pre- cinct 7.
