FOR MILLIONAIRES. FOR ENGLISHMEN. FOR IRISHMEN. FOR SCOTSMEN. FOR WELSHMEN. FOR ROAD HOGS. (continued). Assuming that fancy pattern treads are good, why shouldn't the idea be elaborated. Here are a few suggestions. None of the accompanying designs is copyrighted, and we give any tyre manufacturer free permission to adopt either one or all of them. What splendid advertising points they would afford! The " Veto " pattern all-rubber non-skid, for instance, would make, for political motorists, an excellent souvenir of the great fight; and " national emblem " tyres would undoubtedly have a large sale. Why do you fit your wheels with fancy pattern tyres ? . / To prevent skidding and breaking your neck. After about one thousand miles, however, the pattern is worn flat and your safety is problematical. The question resolves itself into this : if grooves and knobs are useful, they must last until the tyre, and not yourself, is defunct. But the trouble is, they don't. Therefore, solve the difficulty by purchasing a Michelin "Semelle " Non-Skid. NOT FOR LIBERALS. FOR PEERS. If, on the other hand, all sculptural effects are useless, why fit such tyres ? Better by far buy a Michelin Square Tread, which lasts longer and always gives satisfaction. STOCKISTS: AUCKLAND CHKISTCHURCH WELLINGTON I DUNEDIN !D j9l 3VBI @
