Just' as stainless steels stop rust
and corrosion, Vitamic rubber
stops weather-checking caused
by sunlight, ozone or other con-
ditions. In addition to having
better aging properties, Vitamic
rubber gives greater strength,
longer wear, greater 'toughness
and more resistance to heat. All
Firestone tires are made of this
new and better rubber. Insist
on having them on your car
when you obtain a tire ration
certificate.
