| (2) able to explain this to you more fully on my next visit by showing you a sample of tire and rim and the action which takes place. It is extremely gratifying to us when looking over the service reports from our respective branches to note the utter absence of bead difficulty, either through breaking or rim cutting, and we are extremely enthusiastic over the perfect fitting of the bead on our SS{S. Smith} tires. Of course, there is always some possibility of an imperfect rim, but the cases of imperfect tires in regard to beads are so few and far between that it is an unusual occurrence. Any further information which the writer could give you in regard to this subject will be sincerely given. Very truly yours, (Signed) G.L. Bugle, Special Representative. COPY | ||
