your disposal the great resources of a tire plant, as large and complete as the Miller plant we'll wager you would build a tire just about like Millers. The reason so many motorists buy Miller Tires and stay with them year after year is because Miller Tires stay with the motorist longer than any tire we know of. Mileage, of course is what you are looking for. Mile for mile, in any kind of service, over any kind of roads we'll match Millers against the field. And our reputation as square dealers stands back of that statement. You'll find the proof in the extra miles and greater, service you get from Miller Tires. Buy them now. Our prices can't be beat.
