that a representative of the fed-

the inspectors when the Ozark

be projected to the Mexican

system that is now employed by
the Ozark Trails Association and
rushed to completion without

I've been thinking what large

feed is each year fed to horses

(This might be converted into
food for man if motor power
were used extensively on the
farms. I believe this is going to
be one of the ways of solving the

Talking about
Non-Skid Tires
It seems to us th2t some tire manufacturers
just cut out the raised tread pattern on their
tires with a jig-sav at random; while others
figure out the tread formation as common
sense directs.
The Diamond "Squeegee Tread" is surely
a "reason why" tread. Look at the cross bars.
When the weight of the car rests on them,
they just naturally get a TOE HOLD on tha
pavement and stop forward slide.
Then look at the longitudinal bars. They
are continually in contact with the pavement
and not coily stop side skid ALL THE TIME
but roll along as smoothly as a plain tread
tire.
So if you want a real non-skid tire, well
sell you a Diamond at its "Fair-List" Price.
