Date 1950
Description Dunlop Tyre Advert
Details

Advertisement for Dunlop tyres showing John Cottington, known as 'Mull Sack', ambushing and defeating Cromwell's soldiers. Cottington was hanged in Smithfield Rounds in 1659: 'These picturesque scoundrels, who once made travelling an ordeal, are dead and gone. But today, thanks to John Boyd Dunlop's invention of the pneumatic tyre, we can travel in safety and comfort past the places that once echoed to the dreaded cry of 'Stand and Deliver!'
