Empire Red Rubber Has Proved
Itself Better Tire Material
We "discovered" red rubber as a tougher tire material.
We made the first red tire. It beat our own gray tires
all hollow for bounce and stamina. Now we manufac
ture only Empire Reds and despite the rising price of rub
ber, Empire prices are practically the same as last year.
Empire Red Rubber stays cool under terrific friction tests. It is
all new, fresh rubber and will not depreciate prematurely. All of
this adds to the phenomenal mileage Empire Reds roll up.
u
'mpire
m
mi
ires
Wear
Longest
Not only do Empire Reds give you a
longer run for your money, but that
classy all red color adds distinction to
your car.
Empire Red Rubber marks the big
gest jump ahead in tire making for years.
Empire Reds will always give cheaper
service until a suitable synthetic rubber
is made.
Don't delay equipping your car with Empire
Reds. Adjustments are made on the 5,000
mile basis.
