From Firestone have come such revolutionary improvements as the FIRST straight side tire, the FIRST rubber non-ski- d tread, the FIRST commercial demountable rim, the FIRST patented Process, the FIRST balloon tire, the FIRST Construction and Cord Body, the FIRST FIRST the practical pneumatic tractor tire. In 1933, Firestone built the FIRST synthetic rubber airplane tires for our armed forces. In 1940, Firestone built its FIRST synthetic rubber passenger car tires at the New York Worlds Fair and began the manufacture of its own synthetic rubber, called Butaprene, the same Gum-Dippin- g Safti-Loc- k Super-Spee- d SYNTHETIC RUDDER type that was later adopted by the Government. In 1942, Firestone became the FIRST company to produce plant and synthetic rubber in a Government-owne- d later became the FIRST to make synthetic rubber using butadiene made from grain alcohol. And today Firestone is making synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, tractors, farm implements and all types of war vehicles. All of these years of experience, all of the knowledge that made these FIRSTS possible have been called upon in producing the new Firestone DeLuxe Champion Tire made with Firestone Butaprene. It is now ready for the car owners of America as released by the Government. But do not think that the crisis is past. Americas greatest rubber supply is still on the wheels of its 27,000,000 cars.
