• Think of it—in a critical
city like New York where
probsblr the most fastidious
motor owners in the world
asaernble, nine
men.as noted
before, are kept busy doing
nothing else but selling a tire
made in Canada—and
it at a higher price than the
American has to pay for
American-made tires.
And yet this Traction
Tread Tire. which has"aught
