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

The Savinn on Two Tires Will More Than Pay (or the Cost ol Dann Spring Insert
Dann Insert is a SELF-LUBRICATING BRONZE
BEARING. 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. You do not have to buy new springs.
Demand Dann Insert in the car you bun. ,
This lire guarantee is open also to all owners whose
cars arc now equipped with the Dann Insert.
See the exhibit at our Booth D-l an Balcony at
the Auto Show, and in Ledger Central window, Broad
and Chestnut, all this wceH.
