Well Known Auto Dealer Receives Shipment of Seconds Tires
Pollock Car Corporation, subsidiary of Olds Mobile and Oakland, handles Firestone tires graded as seconds. A large shipment of various sizes and styles arrived in Washington yesterday. Seconds are produced by factory inspections that mark blemished tires as inferior yet many claim wear is not affected. Prices are substantially below those of perfect tires, and typical guarantees are not offered.
