WATCH YOUR GASOLINE.
Be sure that your gasoline tank is
full every time Il start is made for
rum do not take any ones word for
this. 1t is surprising how often even at
this late date how many car drivers
run out of gasoline through sheer care
lessness. If your car stops suddenly
on the road look at your gasoline the
very first thing. even though you have
gone but short distance since your
tank was filled. A pipe may be broken

that is remaining and as long as the
motor is kept fairly warm. very little

The very highest possible grade of
lubricating oils and greases should be
used, and the fact that oil is cheaper
than new bearings and repair bills
should always be remembered
Treat any good car right and it Will
give you service.
