Show MDERFUL MILEAGE Bf EW TREADS "Wo owe it to the marvelous advances ad-vances in tho art of tiro building, aa vroll as to tho inherent woar-reaisting qualities of tho material in thorn," remarked re-marked W. S. Theobold, manager of tho Salt Lako Citj' branch of tho Unitod States Rubber company of Califotoia, "that tho motorist of today is ablo to secure tho remarkablo mileage that ho does out of his tires." Mx. Thoobold added: Of course it makos a great doal of difference in tho life of tho tiro whether the traveling is done over smooth streets or rugged roads, or vhother the owner is a careful driver or ono of the roekluss, hood-.less hood-.less kind, who takes strcot car crossings at a dash and a bang; but, oven taking- theso factors into consideration, it cortnlnly speaks well for any tiro to be ablo to go continuously for hundreds and oven thou8and3of miles and still bo fit for service. An illustration of tho above and of the wear-rcsistlu" qualities of . the "Nobby Treads," recontly was brought to tho notice of tho tire company whon P. L. Ro3enau, the president of one of San Francisco's big laundry companies, wroto to them und said: "Wo have recently equipped our delivery and touring cars with 'Nobby Tread' tires, and find that they give bettor sorvico and moro mifeago than any othor , tiro wo havo ever used. For example, ex-ample, wo have had a tiro on a Studobakcr-Garford car, which has run for 14,003 miles nnd is still good for many more." Tho above statement came in un-solicitad, un-solicitad, and is only one of manv instances where big mileage, mileage mile-age up in the thousands, lias boon secured from our tiros; though big milcago is tho rulo with us, tho above record miloage desorves moro than passing notice. |
