 known resiliency of the cord 

 tire is produced by the meth- 

 od of construction whereby 

 rubber-coated cords are em- 

 bedded in rubber without the 

 fabric construction so fami-

 less inflation is provided by 

 the cord tire.

 is intended to make it grip 

 the road surface firmly and 

 without the disagreeable and 

 dangerous slipping which automobilists so greatly dislike in tires 

 upon which they depend to give them the maximum of service 

 and safety. (The Gordon Tire & Rubber Co., Canton, Ohio.)
