GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST; The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you we'll
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re.
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or

at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.)
Here we have 81, l,75O,0OO

THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase

when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
