Description
Fisk Tire Company print ad depicting a brown bear running away from a swarm of bees. In the middle of the image on the right is large tree stump. Streaming out of the stump's top is a large swarm of bees. The swarm rises and curls downward toward the bear. The bear is running at an angle that puts it on the lower left of the image and appears to be running out of the frame. Next to the stump is a wooden sign with the Fisk Tire logo and the Fisk Tire boy, who holds a tire in his right hand and the candle in his left hand. The Fisk Tire slogan "Time to Retire. Get a Fisk." is featured prominently on the wooden sign.
