Fisk Tire Company Print Ad - The Greatest Tire Ever Built
Subject
Fisk Tire Company
Vintage Magazine Ads
Description
Fisk Tire Company print ad reprinting of one ad within another. Larger ad concentrates on the Extra Heavy Fisk Balloon Tire with an image of the tire and text about its safety. The insert of the earlier ad shows an older couple sitting together balling yarn. The older woman, on the left, is wrapping the yarn into a ball while the older man spreads out his hands and keeps the yarn from knotting. The older man's head is slumped as if he has fallen asleep. A small clock on a shelf above the man's head reads 9:00 p.m. and the Fisk "Time to Retire" sign hangs on the wall between the couple.
