The gauge to this service is the mileage total recorded when the casing finally is discarded.
The notable achievement of nine stock tire- which, put to official finish test by the Automobile Club of Ameries, averaged 6,760 miles, definitely established the un- usua quality of Vacuum Cup Tirea.
The rainy day certified test of the Pitts- burgh Taxicab Company in which a heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup Tires was driven around's wet corner ot 25 miles an hour without skidding-
