Uninterrupted Service!
You can’t get it with pneumatic tires no
matter how much you pay. You do get it
with Lambert “Trublpruf” Tires from the day
you put them on till they have gone ten,
twenty and often thirty thousand miles.
For motor truck and commercial car operators
we have some figures on low tire cost that
will prove a revelation.
Glad to present them any time.
