So great is the rear body overhang on
the truck vans of the Twentieth Century
Storage Warehouse Co., 3120 Market
Street, Philadelphia, that the Goodrich
De Luxe Truck Tires on the rear wheels
virtually set beneath the center of the
trucks.
And being 5-ton units, the loads im
posed on the rear tires are doubly heavy
because of this great overhang.
Yet even under these conditions, fierce,
indeed, these heroic De Luxe Tires have
piled up 17,000 miles per tire and are
still in service.
These records show that under the
most rigorous hauling conditions, De
Luxe Tires deliver the goods better,
more economically, more satisfactorily.
