FIRESTONE VICTORY.

Information to, the following effect has just been received by The Dragon Motor Car Company. Ltd., local distributors for the Firestore Tyro B Rubber Company:

At Miami, Florido, on February 22nd, 1926, Firestone Gum-Dipp ed Cord Tyres again demonstrated their outstanding superiority in the 300 mile National Champion- ship Race. This was the first raca on the new Miam board track. Poter de Paolo, the winner of the 1925 Indianapolis Speedway Race and National Champion of racing! drivers in 1925, drove his Duesen- borg Special to victory in the Miami race at the average rate of 129.29 miles por hour, establishing' a now world's record, for tha distanco. De Paolo, as well as all other drivers to finish rode on Firestone Gum-dipped Tyres and Steam Welded Tubes. De Paolo's victory was assured by the fact that during the entire race he was not called upon to make a single stop.

Those Tyres are all purchased outright by famous racing drivers, who not only depend upon Fire- stone to carry them to new spoed records and many victories,, but who trust their lives implicitly to the Firestone Gum-Dipped Cord Icons truation.

PACKARD

-the Choice of Diplomats

THOSE

who are chosen to represent their countries at the courts of the great Capitals must in turn possess equip ment in keeping with the importance of `their missions.

Ten prominent American diplomats have recently selected Packard cars as affording the distinction necessary to their business and social activities.

In England, a Packard Six has appeared. at the Court of St. James, while in France, an Eight has stood, an object of beauty, at the gates of the Palais de l'Elysée. The diplomatic preference for Packard is not confined to Americans. Govern- mental leaders of many other countries are also Packard owners.

So strong an international appeal 'would be impossible if the merits of the product were not fundamental and unquestioned. The Dragon Motor Car Co., Ltd.
