LOOK AFTER RUBBER TIRES NOW

[Welland Telegraph, 18 January 1901]

Where have you stored your wheel for the winter-and how! See that you do not allow the wheel to stand for months on the tires. Even Dunlop tires, made as they are of the very best material, will be injured by the continuous weight pressing down in one place, and perhaps freezing in that position.

Frost kills rubber when not in use. This is equally true of rubber carriage tires. If allowed to stand long under the heavy weight and pressure of the carriage, the resiliency and vitality of the rubber is lessened.

When not in use all rubber tires should be relieved of unnecessary weight. The Dunlop Company are getting out a simple device to apply to carriaged tires when not in use.
