The Thickness Test
No. 2
PRACTICALLY every tire dealer now-a-days
can show you cross-sections of the makes of
tires he sells.
Take a ruler and actually measure for yourself the
thickness of the tread on the tires you are considering.
Michelin
Super-Sturdy
F"'' Construction
If you apply this test, you will be astonished at the
remarkably heavy construction of the Michelin
Universal Non-Skid.
This tire really has a double thickness of rubber, for
its non-skid tread has been super-imposed on the
already sturdy Michelin plain-tread.
From five to eight plies of fabric in the body of the
tire give it extra durability.
But the important point is this: before you buy your
next tire apply the “ruler test.” It will help you to
a wise selection.

It was a commendable decision and

old, some geraniums, Salvyas, moon
vines, begonias and verbenas, suit
able for porch boxes and bedding
plants. If any one would like any of
these which were left from the gener
al collection, they can call Mrs. Scar
borough.
