PROTECTION
• As experts on motoring safety
we want to state a few simple
facts every motorist should
know about the tires he rides
on. Remember this, the next
time you are driving along at
40, SO, 60 miles an hour. The
heat generated inside your tires
at these speeds is terrific-
causing rubber and fabric to
separate. A tiny blister forms
—grows bigger and BIGGER
until sooner or later, BANG!
It’s a blow-out.
But an amazing new inven
tion, the Life-Saver Golden Ply,
resists this heat so that mbber
and fabric do not separate—
blisters do not form—thus this
unseen cause of high speed
blow-outs is checked before it
even gets started.
The only tire in the world that
has Golden Ply blow out protec
tion is the ■ Goodrich Silvertown
—yet it costs no more thah
other standard tires. When
thousands are killed or injured
’every year in blow-out accidents
don’t you want this kind of
protection?
