"Tire Care," a pamphlet issued by the Rubber Association of America, Incorporated, 1928. The front cover has a black-line border, within which, at the top, is the title. Under this is a photo of a man putting air into an automobile tire. Below the image is information about the importance of proper inflaton. The publisher's name and address are at the bottom. Material in the item include maintaining proper inflation, results of under-inflation; the removal of flat tires; keeping wheels in alignment; other causes of tread wear; avoiding the use of bent or rusty rims; avoiding over-tight chains; repairing tread cuts; proper brake adjustment; proper installation of tires; inflation pressures, with a chart of 1928 model cars and their recommended pressures; and a chart of recommended loads and an inflation table for balloon tires. Both these latter charts provide tire sizes and the latter provides for rim sizes and loads at pressures from 28 to 36 psi. On the back cover is material relating to standard 90-day warranties on tires as recommended by the publisher. With some creases, light soiling, yellowing, and a few stains, the overall condition is good.Lexicon
