THE best tires nude are sub
ject to all sorts of unexpect
ed shocks and strains. They
sometimes wear m a certain place
or in several places, leaving the
greater part of the tire in good
condition, able to give you much
more service.
Then is when vulcanizing truly
is economizing.

We repair blowouts and tears.
We restore tires that are partial
ly worn to t condition of com

Our vulcanizing equipment is
the best. The process cannot
injure your tire. On the other
hand it returns it to you some
times as good as new,
A trial will satisfy you on all
