There are only TWO LAYERS of Cords in ANY SIZE of Silvertown Tire. This, as against 5 to 7 layers in all Fabric Tires, and all Thread (so-called "Cord") Tires. It is Friction and Heat, (between layers) that WEARS OUT Tires internally. Therefore, when you reduce that Friction and Heat to but ONE Friction-Centre (between 2 layers only) instead of FOUR to SIX Friction-Centres (between 5 to 7 layers) you reduce these Tire destroyinp; influences to about ONE-FOURTH, or UJNJW31.X.TH. THIS TWO -LAYER feature is feasible, however, in NO OTHER Tires ' than those of the strongly -patented SILVERTOWN Cord construction, in which each single Cord is STOUT enough, and STEONG enough, to lift a Man's weight. Because. No other Tire construction would "stand up" under the tremendous strains of Load and Speed, with LESS than tho usudl 5 to 7 layers of Fabric, or Thread. The extreme RESILIENCE, and FLEXIBILITY, which results from the use of TWO LAYERS of giant CORDS only, gives you, in Silvertown Tires, 30$ further "Coasting" capacity! 25 more Mileage, per Gallon of Gasolene! 17 more Speed, from same Car. 50 more Comfort, in riding. as actual Test will prove. Silvertowns are easily, and inexpensively, pairca. Made in Straight-side, as well as "Clincher." And, no other Tires, of any kind, average "LARGER." Standard equipment on following Gars CUNNINGHAM .
