The Coleman Filling Station

The Coleman Filling Station was established over four years ago with H. H. Wooldridge as manager and has served an ever increasing num­ber of patrons since.  Located at the corner of College Avenue and Colorado Street (115 East College Avenue - Phone 82) the attractive filling sta­tion has been THE FILLING STA­TION for a large per cent of the peo­ple of Coleman and Coleman Coun­ty as well as hundreds of tourists.  To live up to the slogan of "Nothing But High Grade Gas and Oils," Mr. Wooldridge secured the exclu­sive agency of CITIES SERVICE GAS AND OILS.  And besides the Cities Service Gas, the agency for ETHYLENE-GAS, known as the king of motor oils, was secured.  Ethylene Gas gives the motorist the most for his money.  It gives you from 25 to 40 per cent more mileage and adds from 6 to 8 horse-power to your motor!  Continual users are not bothered with carbon forming, preignition, knocks and eliminates valve grinding entirely.  Ethylene-Gas is harmless to any type of motor and does not contain the alleged harmful tetra-lead.  If you are trou­bled with fouling spark plugs after using a short time, remove and note cleanliness of them. And Ethylene-Gas is the same price as common gasoline.

The Coleman Filling Station fea­tures a full line of DAYTON THOROBRED AND STAR CORD TIRES.  There is a growing group of motorists who seek quality in their tires.  They appreciate that quality is but another name for economy.   There is but one way to measure quality in a tire.  It must do more than provide comfortable riding.  It must deliver more than trouble-free service.  It must give more than long mileage alone.  It must combine all of these advantages.  There is one tire that measures up to this standard of quality.  It is the Dayton Thorobred Extra-Ply Cord, for standard rims, THE PIO­NEER LOW AIR PRESSURE TIRE.  The Coleman Filling Station believes that this is the kind of tire you want.  And if you want Balloon Tires - if you want Balloon Tire comfort with Cord Tire economy -  Dayton Thorobred Balloons will give it.  Back of them is the experience of the pioneer builders of the low air pressure tire.  That is your warranty for comfort, mileage and economy unapproached in tires of this type.  Dayton Balloons, like Dayton Thorobred Cords, are built upon the principle that there is no substitute for quality.  For 20 and 21-inch wheels.

The bead is an important item in tire construction and a feature of the STAR CORD TIRE.  It is the bead that holds the casing to the rim.  When air pressure is applied, it is literally the strength of the bead that keeps the tire in place in spite of high speeds and the vibrating action of poor roads.  The tire buyer looking at a tire notes the weight, the design of tread and the general appearance.  He rarely notices the bead.  Yet it is well known among rubber men that the strength and construction of the bead is of prime importance. If the tread proves soft you can replace it with a new tread; if the rubber in the sidewalls should become ruptured or the fabric should happen to break, you can still use the tire by repairing it.  But if the bead stretches, breaks, or goes wrong in anyway, nothing can be done to salvage any part of the tire.  Bead trouble is practically unknown to users of Star Cord Tires, sold only by Coleman Filling Station.
