Responding to a survey
about their customers’ vehi-

mechanics concurred that
most people tend to drive
their cars until something
goes wrong.

“Most people are now
repairing systems only when
breakdown occurs,’’ said
one independent garage
owner. ‘Eighty per cent of
customers are postponing all

oe but not
better service

A Michelin dealer is not just your
ordinary tire dealer. For one thing,
he sells Michelins which stand at
the height of radial technology. For
another, he is a specialist. He knows
tires. He has to, to be a Michelin
dealer. There's quite a difference
between tire dealers. Nowhere will
you find better value and better
service than at your Michelin dealer.
That's a promise!

MICHELIN

Because so much
is riding on your tires.
