IRE STONE maintains its leadership in tire development by producing a warn tire for 1934 with a wider tread, flatter contour, deeper non-skid, greater thickness, ewd more and tougher rubber, which gives greater non-skid safety, more traction, greeter blowout protection, and more than 50% longer non^ekid mileage. These achievements are made practical by the Firestone patented process of Gam-Dipping, providing greater adhesion between the plies of the high stretch cords and between the Gum-Dipped body of the tire and the tough, massive non-skid tread. It also provides greater JE strength, longer flexing life, and greater protection against blowouts. Gum-Dipping made it possible for Firestone to design, develop and put on the market the first success Ail balloon tire in 1923. This tire was the pattern used by all others and completely revolutionized the tire industry and set new standards for the automobile industry. For fourteen years leading race drivers have fen to victory on Firestone tires, built with rum-Dipped high stretch cords. They have trusted their lives to Firestone Leadership-—as they know that the patented Firestone construction features provide them with greater safety—longer mileage—and greater blowout protection. ■ • _ ' ■ ■ ■ • - f ii Mmvmymr PmMmrmmme,* RECORDS —/or /enrteen on the on the toinnlno eon to the w WWW dmringrikoMl where e Mp ntKunMuu tiKit tanoN Tii buses of the Woohlngton (D.
