AUGUST, 1944 403 IN WAR AS IN PEACE OUR BUSINESS IS FROM all of Firestone’s 48 factories throughout the world come hundreds of different war materials made from rub¬ ber, metal and plastic. And most of these products are designed to safeguard the lives of our fighting men. Protecting lives is nothing new for Fire¬ stone. For more than 40 years, Firestone r Tires have been doing that. Insistence on ■ safety led to Firestone’s development of such patented and exclusive construction features gUj as the extra-strong Safti-Lock Gum-Dipped j j Cord Body with Safd-Sured Construction, the extra-mileage Duplex Gear-Grip Tread and extra-life Vitamic Rubber. After victory, Firestone will concentrate SB on making and selling an even wider variety of peace-time products which will provide even greater safety and economy in the world of tomorrow. It is toward that goal that Firestone, while producing for war, is also preparing for peace. Copyright 1944. The Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.
