Guarantee Gives You 7500 Miles If Old Guarantee Is for 3500 Miles-- Our New Guarantee Gives You 5000 Mdes A TREMENDOUS SAVING SM SMLAIS AND CEOTS TO TIE MOTOR USING PUBLIC Heretofore tires have been called upon to do not only their OWN work but the WORK OF THE SPRINGS ALSO. This, naturally, has shortened the life ot tires, lire manufacturers, therefore, have been compelled to accept conditions as they have found them and limit their mileage responsibility. There has been more mileage in the tires, but nobody has known how to get it out of them. The way has been found to get that extra mileage out of tires. Records of tests made by manufacturers and car owners show that the insertion of an anti-frictiona , aelf-lubn-eating bronze bearing between all the leaves of all the springs, from end to end, gives free, smoofh, uninterrupted spring action. This enables the springs to quickly absorb all road shocks, making the car ride easier and permitting this sensational tire guarantee. Therefore, the L. S. Hall Rubber CO. announces that it will guarantee 1500 more miles for any standard make of tire, bought of us, than the manufacturer will guarantee, whether the Insert is purchased at their store or elsewhere, if the springs of your car are equip ped with Dann Insert, the lubricated spring leaf bearing. This guarantee will be in writing, and we will stand squarely behind it. TO ALL PURCHASERS OF NEW CARS Register your car with us; equip with Dann Insert (if your car is not already so equipped); greatly increase the mileage of your present tires, and get itten feiaraitte of ISO Extra Mte On Your Future Tire Equipment Bought of Us This Wonderful Guarantee Is Made Possible Ey -, ;n& H trtSti fti JilWTW J ftim swi in i " " 1 S.C.

It fits between the leaves of the springs in your car from end to end. It is packed with a special graphite compound which will not flow liquid and which insures maximum spring efficiency at all times. This BRONZE BEARING allows spring leaves to slide freely over each other to do the work they are expected to do. Keeps the springs continuously, permanently lubricated eliminates rust and spring squeaks makes springs act freely, flexibly, easily. Your car will ride as though it were floating on air. We Guarantee Easy Elding or Your Money Back after 30 Days Use Dann Insert is packed in a box all ready to fit the springs of your car, regardless of make. You put Dann Insert in your old springs.
