EVERY Truck Owner Should Read This Letter

From the Sterling Motor Freight Corporation, of Albany, running daily freight service between Albany and New York: "Our operations call for the very best tires that we can buy. We have experimented with four of the leading makes of tires, and of these have found GOODRICH DELUXE TRUCK TIRES the best investment we have made in tires. 'I have just taken off a set of Goodrich De Luxe Tires that gave over 23,000 miles on the front of a truck and I am going to put them on the rear of one of our pick-up trucks. They are good for 3,000 miles. ''We believe that the high profile DeLuxe Tire is the only tire for the good of the truck and gives a greater mileage per gallon of gasoline, with fifty per cent, more wearing surface."
