It is shipped B to Firestone's own cord fabric mills—the largest in the worlds—where it is first twisted into tiny threads. These threads are then tightly twisted into ply yarns, and three of these are twisted in the reverse direction into cords of fish-line strength. Exactly the right number of twists are carefully determined to secure the greatest strength and elasticity. Not satisfied with cords of superior strength and elasticity, each individual cord is Gum-Dipped—a patented Firestone process in which every cord is submerged in a vat of pure liquid rubber gum—where every single fibre of every cord is saturated and completely covered with,rubber. That's why Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires give most miles per shilling and hold all world records for endurance and mileage. Ask for our Booklet " Care of Tyres' 9 which will be sent free on application. Gum-Dipping gave Firestone world leadership and success—no other tire is Gum-Dip-ped.
