The land of golden " ib promise the west and north constantly lured intrenld nloneer to venture into those unknown wildernesses at the peril of their lives. The surest and safest method of travelling was by canoe. But when the end of the lake or river was reached, canoes and trappings had to be carried upon the backs and shoulders. Then the hardships and perils of the traveller began. Those prlmldve paths between the waterways were called the Portage. Upon thoso trails the grit and stamina of our fore fathers were tested to the utmost. Only the strongest survived. In Journeying from New Yotk to Canada, their way led through a chain ol riven and lakes linked together by imall Portages. Mlny of thesclatter are unknown In hbtory but their Importance can be measured by the fame of the fortj that were built upon them. How much hiitory have the names of Fort Crown PoInt.FortTlcondcroga, Fort William Henry, Fort Schuyler and Fort Nlcholsonwrapped within thorn! FromAlbany to Montreal these PorlattifitaM and great, were the key position for which hostile forces of Indians, French, English and Colonial troops fought and battled. The hlstoryof the early years of our country cannot be told without mention being made of these Portafts.

They were so named because we designed them to be rugged, strong-muscled and faithful "carriers." They were built to give generous mileage and posl tive service. And they lived up to their historic name. Today Portage Tires are better than ever. Every advance In the art of tire building has been utlliied by Portage engineers and chemists. Time and money have not been considered when their expendi ture meant increasing the mileage and endurance qualities of the tires. The 1920 Portage Tire proves the soundness of the investment. The motoring public has shown its appreciation without stint. As a con sequence the demand for Portage Fabric Tires and Portage Cord Tires has grown almost fastcrthan our capacity for building them.
