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 il in on a new
one-it will pay you well
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
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. Center
of population OF the u. S.
Here we have a $l,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
Of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 200 January 1st,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.
