Tkxicabs use 

 WEED TIRE CHAINS 



Because they can } t afford to take chances 

 and because, with Weed Chains, they 

 get greater mileage out of their tires. 



It's a business proposition, pure and simple, with taxicab 

 companies. They use Weed Chains for economy and 

 accident insurance. 



The main incentive for the use of Weed Chains is the 



accident— preventing feature — a most important factor 



as it means the saving of lives and property. 



But further than that it is known from bitter and costly 



experience that the continual, constant and yet hardly perceptible slipping of the rubber tire-surface on 



wet roads and pavements — only the foot or so of lost traction at a time — is an alarming expense item — 



wearing out tires just the same as if you pressed them against a rapidly revolving grindstone. 



Be as wise as the taxi driver and always put on 

 your Weed Chains "at the first drop of rain." 



Taxicab companies have learned from experience that only by the use of Weed Chains can this continu- 

 ous wear on tires be prevented. Their drivers are ordered to put on their Weed Chains "at the first drop 

 of rain" because of the thousands upon thousands of dollars that are thus actually saved every year in tire 

 service and the elimination of skidding accidents. Wouldn't it be well for you to learn wisdom from the 

 fellow who really knows? 



Weed Chains are also made to meet the demand for an efficient traction and anti-skid device for trucks 

 equipped with single and dual solid tires or with the very large pneumatic tires. They are so constructed that 

 they satisfactorily meet the requirements of heavy truck service in mud, sand or snow.
