In 1938, The General Tire Company made its pitch with a scene of carefree leisure — young couples out for a ride, the kind of Sunday afternoon that defined the era. The tagline "Goes a Long Way to Make Friends" is quietly charming, and the two-color red and black illustration has a graphic energy that feels entirely at home in a modern interior. The reverse carries quarter-page ads for Band-Aid and a Botany Mills booklet offer.
