Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Heat-Resistant Kelly Tires. The ad shows one of their Celebrity Nylon Extra tires sitting atop a surface being heated by open flames underneath and the headline assures you that “Now, Get Heat-Guard Protection for extra safety and longer wear under today’s hotter driving conditions”. I guess I didn’t realize that 50 years ago they were aware of Global Warming. The text talks about the miracle rubber, Polybutadiene, that was used to make these tires so much safer and there is a small picture at the bottom of the page showing a car driving on a road with grooves like a tire tread in it.
