THE railroads were partly responsible. But it wasn't until the automobile reached its present state of develop ment that the old barriers against travel were finally broken down. // More people own auto mobiles today than ever thought of owning a horse and buggy in the old days. That's because the cost of motoring has been brought within reach of the average citizen's pocketbook. We look upon it as part of our job to keep it there. If it weren't for the trade of the man with the medium priced car there wouldn't be much in this tire business for U3. /// The less a man has to spend on motoring, the more important it is that his tires should be of first quality. Any tire is not good enough for the small car owner. He wants a tire that will give him just as much for his money in the small size as the big car mari gets for his money in the large size. IV In thinking over what kind of tires we would represent in this community we tried to put ourselves in the place of the car owner. And we believe we hit it exactly when we selected U. S. Tires. w.
