In no other place in the world are tires put to such a severe test as in this gruelling 500-mile race. This race is more than a pageant of speed. As powerful cars hit the curves and roar down the straight-aways at speeds up to 150 miles an hour, it is the most dramatic test of men, metals, and rubber, that is known today. These drivers may be daring, but they are not careless. They insist on safe tires — tires that stay cool even under the terrific pounding of this hot brick track. They know that Firestone Tires run cooler — protected against destructive internal friction and heat by the Firestone patented Gum- Dipping process. You may never put your tires to the test that race drivers do but for your safety and the safety of your family you do need the blowout protection of Gum- DON’T RISK YOUR LIFE Dipping and other ON THIN WORN TIRES extra patented construc¬ DO YOU KNOW . .. tion features that make THAT last year highway accidents cost the lives of more than 38,000 men, Firestone Tires safer. women and children?
