caused a rush of rubber pur-
chasers, and rubber prices have

commodity has advanced 30 per
cent in the past sixty days.
Snyder Motor Company, local
dealer for Firestone Tires, an-
nounce that regardless of in-1
creasing rubber prices you can
still get the Firestone standard
tires at low prices. With a trade
in on your old tire required, the
following prices are listed:
The 4.40-4.50-21 size sells at j
$5.58; 4.75-5.00-19 for $5.78; 6.00-
