No Longer Need Purchase Order To Recap Tires
Molders of gas ration books can now have their tires recapped without a purchase order from a local ration board. To keep necessary automobiles on the road during 1943, car owners should guard against tire damage and have tires recapped as soon as the non-skid tread wears off. Recapping saves rubber by preserving the tire carcass and uses about one third as much rubber as a new tire. The new OPA rules outline eligibility for recapping or new tires, with various vehicle types and conditions. Sunnyside Beauty Shop reports a good spring business. Prices have not advanced at this popular Shop.
