Description
Three color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their new Hood 400, a tire with “A New Wider, Flatter Tread…”. The drawing in the ad shows a Red Car roaring over the top of a hill yet the tires still retain contact with the pavement and the ad claims that with the changes made in their new tires, well “That means more safe mileage!”. The text tries to explain some of the logic that went into designing tires at this time and offers the simple thought that “If it’s Hood – it’s GOOD”.
