THE FOUR GREAT EPOCHS 
IN THE HISTORY OF TIRES 
iff 5 
METAL 
SOLID RUBBER 
PNEUMATIC 
PUNCTURE-PROOF 
PNEUMATIC 
T he evolution of the wheel 
shoe exhibits four different phases: 
Metal, Solid Rubber, Pneumatic and 
Puncture-Proof Pneumatic. 
The history of the first three is univer¬ 
sally known. The fourth and greatest 
development, the production of the LEE 
PUNCTURE-PROOF PNEUMATIC TIRE, 
marks a gigantic forward stride into the 
future of motoring. It signifies the def¬ 
inite passing of ROAD TROUBLE while 
still preserving the inherent COMFORT 
advantages of the pneumatic principle. 
The elimination of puncture and blow¬ 
out naturally tends to increase the MILE¬ 
AGE of the tire. 
PNEUMATIC NON-SKID PUNCTURE-PROOF 
Carry a definite written guarantee of immunity 
from puncture under penalty of a cash refund.
