IT'S TECHNIOUE THAT COUNTS!
Today, It's true that all lead-
ing tire makers use synthetic
rubber from the same source.
it Is also true that before the
War they all used the same
natural rubber. Yet . . . there
existed then, as today, a wide
difference In tire quality.
Obviously, it takes more than
rubber to build a tire. It takes
steel, cotton, carbon black and
compounding. Yes, and it takes
still more to make a great tire.
It takes engineering to figure
Stresses, strains and proper
Istance: It takes chemistry to
properly blend ingredients. It
takes skill and experience to
