But motorists continue to buy that make of tire only because the first tires have made good— have given satisfactory mileage and service. Motorists bought United States Tires so consist ently that, during the first seven and one-half months of this year, we sold and delivered more tires than during the entire twelve months of last year. And motorists are continuing to buy United States Tires at the same phenomenal rate. If straws show which way the wind blows, such phenomenal sales increases certainly show where the best tire service comes from. Geo. W.
