Observe the CO
RDS!
SILVERTOWN Cord Tires have no Threads in them!
Nor have they the 5 to 7 layers (of Threads) as used
in other so-called "Cord" Tires, and in the Palmer-Web
Tires we abandoned making in 1913.
They have CORDS only, giant Cords (as .shown in picture
herewith) and' only two layers of these, with a layer of Rubber be
tween to prevent friction.
Each one of these two CORDS is strong enough to lift a Man's
weight.
It is the enormous Strength of these flat, rubber-impregnated,
CORDS, firmly anchored, with equal tension on every inch, that
gives to Silvertown Cord Tires their unequalled Endurance.
Witness the recent Mulford achievement of driving more than
1500 Miles, at 7G Miles per hour average, without changing a Tire.
Witness the winning of every important high-speed, .or long
distance, Race during the past two years on Silvertown Cord Tires.

(OUCH js the marvellous Resilience of these Two-layer
(Silvertown) CORD Tires that a Car will coast 25?o to
kJr SOft further on them, down a slight road incline, than
would the same Car on the best Fabric Tires made.
This easily-proven fact indicates why tho same Motor-power
drives the same Car 17 faster than that Car could ba driven
on the best Fabric Tires.
- It also supplies a key to the 25?o saving on Gasolene, per mile,
which results from the use of Silvertown CORD Tires.
But it does not, so clearly, explain the wonderful smoothness
of riding on Silvertown Tires, that luxurious sense of gliding over
.the ground instead of "driving" over it.
This is probably the highest attributq of the Silvertown Cord
Tiro-f-that which is most valued by the critical Car-Owner.

Realize That It Is Easily Possible to

Your Store Yield More in Convenience
and in Actual Cash Value NOW
This Plain and Frank Statement About
Builders, Owners-AND FLOORS-Tclls You
HOW
1
By ANDREW P1NKERTON
You know that the value of any property depends
upon the details of construction and tho conse
quent service it provides. If you are building or
purchasing a store or home, you want to know
that among other things, the roofing and the sani
tary arrangements are perfect. Most men would
and all should give equal consideration to tho
flooring.
Floorlne qualities vary and hava n sxeat
Influenco upon Uio ultimate convenience and
value to the owner.
Tho avfirnRo floor Is dimcult to satisfac
torily fit, In tho first place. It seldom i
"stays put." it cracks and warps and
shrinks, It Is not only unsightly but also
Insanitary. Tho cracks soon harbor dirt
and dust unseen causes of disease, of
dampness, rats and mice.
But Hardwood Flooring Is Different
In any home, office or store whether
under construction or already built
hardwood floors can easily, quickly and
economically be installed.
One laid Uiejr "BTAT TUT," because they
ore proof ngalniit the elements that warp,
erack or split OHDINAItY wood. You will
bo surprised at their durability, . notwith
standing; the JIAnnUHT wear and tear.
This Is vltAl where cost ot upkeep and re
pairs are considered.
And obviously they minimize the har
boring of dirt and dust and therefore
household pests.
More, hardwood is the most easily kept
clean of all woods. Any one can
quickly sweep, mop or polish it.
Do you wonder at tht enormout and
incrta$lng popularity of hardwood
Roar for every building purpote?
IN THE HOME hardwood means greater
beauty. It Is adaptable to any scheme of
decoration nnd may be laid In many differ
ent artistic patterns. It places an added
value and convenience on your home, be
cause It enables you 'to quickly convert
your room Into an attractive danco hall.
It Is sanitary particularly In summer when
rugs are- undesirable. It la durable and
best withstands the scuffle and pounding of
littlo children's feet and constantly moved
furniture.
THESE QUALITIES MINIMIZE DEPRE
CIATION OF IMtorEBTY VALUE AND
MAKE HARDWOOD A PROFITABLE IN
VESTMENT. IN THE STORE hardwood floors have a
very great aalea value. They will make your
salesroom far above the commonplace
more attractive In every way: cleaner, too.
The cleanlngrtlme they save and their dura
bility under the strain of constantly moving
customers mean actual economies. W!
For every building purpose for private homes or public
buildings hardwood floors provide convenience, economies
ana values mat more man repay their cost.
