Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 14″ ad for the Quality built into their Silvertown tires. The ad has a picture of a dark-colored car with a “Just Married” sign on the back pulled over to the side of a deserted road with a flat tire. The man, still in his suit, kneels on one leg with tire changing tools in his hand and seems to be begging forgiveness from his new bride. She seems to be taking it well and the ad has her asking “Is this the little flat you promised me?”. The ad contains a small snippet of their conversation as he tells her that he should “Switch to Goodrich, I suppose”. The ad discusses their construction and shows examples of their Safety Silvertown tire, the Deluxe Silvertown tire and the Life-Saver Silvertown.
