'S TAIL STILL | 18 WAGGING HITLER

Red Army Stronger Then Ever as Germany Starts Third Year of War on Eastern Front; New Attack Not Likely.

LONDON, Junee 22 (U. P.).—Adolf Hitler's adventure in Russia entered its third year today with the Nazis clinging somewhat frenziedly to the tail of anything but subdued Russian Bear. On the second anniversary of the German march across ~ the Soviet border, military sources saw reason to believe that Hitler had been obliged to put off or abandon a major offensive this year. This, they added, would be the “greatest admission of Ger-

man weakness yet.” . .

They were to smash Russia in two months. The Nazis are now more than 700 miles into Russia and hold around 550,000 square miles of its richest land.

THE WORLD FAMOUS FIRESTONE Delure Champion TIRE

IS NOW BEING MADE WITH

irestone Butaprene

TEL MARVELOUS ‘ew SYNTHETIC RUBBER

ST as you'd expect, Firestone is FIRST to build the tire of

tomorrow for the car owners of America. It is only natural that

Firestone should be the leader in working out new processes, in’

creating new compounds and in building better tires from Americanmade rubber, for Firestone has always been the pioneer in developing new materials, new methods and new machines that have resulted in tremendous advancements in tire design, construction and performance. : : From Firestone have come such revolutionary improvements as the FIRST straight side tire, the FIRST rubber non-skid tread, the FIRST commercial demountable rim, the FIRST patented Gum-Dipping Process, the FIRST balloon tire, the FIRST Safti-Lock Cord Body,

the FIRST ‘Super-Speed Construction and the FIRST practical

pneumatic tractor tire.

In 1933, Firestone built the FIRST syntltetic rubber airplane tires

for our armed , In 1934, Firestone built its FIRST synthetic tires. In 1940, Firestone FIRST went into

‘production on synthetic rubber passenger car tires and began the

‘manufacture of its own synthetic rubber, called Butaprene, the same

type that was later adopted by the Government. In 1942; Firestone became the FIRST company to produce synthetic rubber in a

_Government-owned plant and later became the FIRST to make

synthetic rubber using butadiene made from grain alcohol. And today Firestone is making synthetic rubber tires for passenger cars; trucks; buses, airplanes, tractors, farm implements and all types of war vehicles.

All of these years of experience; all of the knowledge that made these FIRSTS possible have been called upon in producing the new Firestone DeLuxe Champion Tire made with Firestone Butaprene. It is now ready for the car owners of America as released by the Government. But do not think that the crisis is past. America’s greatest rubber supply is still on the wheels of its 27,000,000 cars. So you must continue all of the rubber conservation measures that have been so effective. However, if you are eligible and require new tires, remember this — in mileage, in strength and in safety the new Firestone DeLuxe Champion Tire upholds the Firestone tradition of “Best in Rubber — Synthetic or Natural.”
