terrific grind. They said cars had been built with
much greater speed, turns in the track had been
repaved with granite-like surface, yet Wilbur Shaw
drove to victory on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires setting
a new record of 113.58 miles per hour on one of the
hottest days in the history of the Indianapolis track.

blistering not brick track, at temperatures or more man
100°. Speeds of 130,140, and even 150 were attained
on the straightaways. Think of the terrific impact on
these tires as the cars roared into the treacherous turns
and out again. Tons of force straining, pulling, and
twisting inside the tire, yet not one cord loosened, not
one tread separated from the cord body — all because
Gum-Dipping, the Firestone patented process,
successfully counteracted the internal friction and
heat that ordinarily destroy tire life.
Why have Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires been on
all the winning cars at Indianapolis for the past
eighteen years? Why did every one of the thirty-three
drivers in this greatest of all racing events choose and
buy Firestone Tires? Race drivers make it their
business to know how tires are made and they know
that rirestone I ires are built with the rirestone
patented construction features of Gum-Dipping and
Two Extra Layers of Gum-Dipped Cords under the
Tread. They know that because of these extra
features Firestone Tires run up to 28° cooler and
give greatest blowout protection. In fact, these men
will not risk their lives or chances of victory on
any other tire.
You will never drive your car at these record
breaking speeds, but for the safety of yourself and
family you need the safest, strongest and most
dependable tires. Come in today. Join the Firestone
SAVE A LIFE Campaign by equipping your car
with a set of new Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires
the safest tires that money can buy*
DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE ON THIN WORN TIRES
No car owner is going to risk his
life and the lives of his family
knowingly on thin worn tires. Yet
thousands of car owners are taking
chances every day.
Choose the tires that champions
buy. Race drivers know from
experience that their lives depend on
the safety of their tires. They will
not drive at high speeds on any
other than Firestone Gum-Dipped
Tires. You, too, need the same
protection. Come in today and equip
your car with the safest tires ever built.
DO YOU KNOW
THAT last year highway accidents cost j
the lives of more than 38,000 men,
women and children?
THAT a million more were injured?
THAT more than 40,000 of these
deaths and injuries were caused directly
by punctures, blowouts and skidding
due to unsafe tires?

Listen to the Voice of Firestone, Monday evenings
over Nationwide N. B. C Red Network
Above is a section cut from a
smooth, worn tire, with non
skid protection worn off. Tires
in this condition are more
liable to punctures, blowouts
and skidding.
Above is section cut from a new
Firestone Tire. Note the thick
non-skid protection against
skidding, blowouts and
punctures. Come in and see by
actual demonstration.
