L 9 A one*lhalf-inch rope contains four times as much material as a one-quarter inch rope and has four times the strength and endurance. The same four-fold ratio applies to added thickness of treads and walls of tires. Every extra d1ollar's worth of good ma terials usedl to make the treads and side walls thicker, heavier andl stronger, adds ~ \\'~'~ four times the value of the materials to p the service the tires perform for the car owner- who uses them. " outhern" Tires are Thick Tires Thme treads of "Southern" Tires arec one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch thicker than imost other treadIs and they are so tough and strong that it is al most imp1.ossible to chip or break them. ThI wal- of "Southern" Tfires are also thicker than those of most other tires selling at about the same price. Long mileage is built into "Southern"' Tires. That is why they do ten thousand miles or more before wear- uncovers the fabrie.
