tire history
Greetings,
I'm trying to research the history of rubber tire manufacturing in North America, and am searching for the corporate logo of a manufacturer called "OK Tires". The best information I have from memory is that it's the white letters "OK" surrounded by some colored bands of some kind, possibly red and blue. My searches have so far failed to produce any online image of this corporate logo. Do any of you have information about it that you're willing to share, please? Especially appreciated will be a URL to the image being sought. Thank you. |

Where did you search? The first company hit on a web search came up with it on the top of the page. You're impression of the logo isn't even close. |

I am pretty sure the company went out sometime in the 50's or 60's, I have NO idea where to find info. I could have been a "STORE" brand as well. Maybe a lead would be to contact one of those OK Tire Stores. Probably he'll have to contact somebody higher up in the company who knows its history. Apparently the stores' history goes back to the 40's, |
