U p to midnight, September 12th, during a period of 8 i months, we sold and delivered to tire dealers more United States Tires than we sold to dealers during the entire 12 months of 1916.

This phenomenal sales increase was made notwithstanding cur (epoch-making sales increases of 1916 over 1915. These record-breaking sales increases of 1917 over 1916 and our record-breaking sales increases of 1916 over 1915 definitely and finally prove three facts: 1. The supremacy of United States Tires. 2. The fact that the vast army of automobile owners who used United States Tires in 1916 are using them in 1917 on the sheer merit of their experience. 3* The fact that another vast army of automobile owners have been won over to the use of United States Tires in 1917 on the she *ur tires over other tires that they have tried.) \ ited States Tires Are Good Tires
