this cross sectional diagram clearly illustrates 7 Points of Superiority which the Air-Flight Principle Tires by Fisk alone can offer you.
The De Luxe, Rugged and Fink, each a First Quality. Fisk, embodying all of the exclusive improvements of the new Air-Flight Principle of tire construction. They represent the utmost that your tire money can buy in their respective prler fields. Their inrger air-chamber, carrying more air at a lower pressure-their carcass, constructed of Fisk's patented and exclusive All-Cord- their flexible sidewalla of live rubber-their streamlino tread, multiple calle head and greater road contact- the combining of all, these new and exclusive features result in still another--The Air-Flight Balaner.
