Show TIDES MAKE GOOD oipy liS "Xo ono can tell Just hov.- much lianl wear and tear n motor car can stand until un-til tho muchlne haa boon put through some Kruollnsr ordeal that brlnpa out Uio beat there Is In It and showa the true merit bohlnd tho name plate," remarked S. Theobald, manager of the Salt Lake City service branch of the United States Rubber company of California. 'Equally does thlB fact hold good In respect to the tiros on tho car, and the tc3Ls that have brought out the beat In tho motor car yon can bo sure have worked even greater hurdahlps upon the "?r"l" .foundations of tho machine's efficiency In these nerve racking grinds," Mr. Theobald continued. "Stretches of roads that try tho soula of the motorists are not pleasant things' to remembor. especially for tho motorist who haa had to drive over them, but Inasmuch In-asmuch aa they are still with us In many sections, wo have to speak on oven lf It lo only to warn motorists not to drlvo on thorn when unprepared to meet tho obstacles ob-stacles that they presont to automobile driving. "Motorists going ovor certain stretches of thp road bciwoon San Diego and Phoonlx, which, by the way, was the course ovor which the recent motorcycle rnco was run In which Paul Dcrkum made such a remarkable showing, tell of long reaches of mud and roclc-strewn wavs, which are called roads out of courtesy, but which are anything else but fit places for motor car travel. Here cars havo been stalled and have had to wait for asslstanco to got pulled out of trouble. ' 'Wo went ovor this road,' writes a mombor of a party who had occasion to drlvo through this soctlon recently, shortly after tho San Diego to Phoenix mce, and can truthfully stato that if the car had iiot been of tho best and the tires tho United States "Nobby Treads" I doubt lf wo could havo como through without great difficulty. T-lowevcr. with careful driving, we managed to do so, though the remarkable part of the trip Is the fact that our tiros came through without with-out a puncture and vory little slpn of tho awful trcatmont they had received ' "It you want to travol through tho desert des-ert or mountain country you can malco no mistake when you shoo vour car with cither 'Nobby Tread' or 'Chain Tread' tires, especially now that winter Is upon us.' |
