Comment
"In 1917 the Fisk Tire Company of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, challenged Norman Rockwell to do a set of advertising paintings for Fisk Tires. The company was producing rubber tires for automobiles and bycicles and did extensive advertising in several magazines. The slogan "Time To Re-Tire" was very popular and caught the fancy of Mr. Rockwells sense of humor.Fisk tire was purchased by U.S.Rubber now Uniroyal. The painting that Rockwell did still hang in the Uniroyal plant in Chicopee.
