An official of the company siid
"The new tread, upon which the
Company lays great cmplm-i-. h some
thing mere than a trade design. The
Diamond engineers point out that It has
special read-gripping power which
Krcatly increases sccuritv against side,
forward and backward skidding. An An
other important characteristic is that
these nensKId qualities endure through
out the entire life ef the tread.
"'Though it grips the read tena
ciously, nnu. in fact, in modeled en the

it is noiseless in action
