Squeaks Disappear.

1t Is a great revelation how much
bettet an automobile runs after hav"
ing the springs thoroughly fabricated.
"A caM that beforehand has registered
every bump in the road In no uncertain
sasly appears to be floating along, at
s,y, On sIJirrfs lagssEsA hat a. full
saldpy Of graphite and grease. not
only do the squeaks disappear, which
is konaforting to the ears, but the
whdle car appears to be lighter and
fullI Of life.
TRY it out on your car and see what
Tremendous improvement it makes.
ThA effects of full and complete spring
IubEication are many. Tires seem to
do Better service. The car rides better.
You can be sure you are helping to
lenathen the life of the piece of ma
ehimery you have bought.
/ Attention to fabrication.
Tkiken all in all, there is nothing that
makes a car stand up and perform like
car4ful and consistent attention to lu-
bridation. You can be sure of getting
nlaaimum service out Of car that
In SHIT been neglected. II you do neg
| lectit you can be just as sure that
YOU won't get anywhere near what you
are entitled to.
ri is safe to say that a very large
percentage of the troubles that motor
| earl owners have is due to their failure
| to attend to the proper upkeep Of their
machines. If they are neglectful of
this feature, they not only pile up ex-
perlse upon themselves-they help to
damage the reputation Of the car thSy
have bought.
Ii is a delicate matter for the auto
mobile dealer to have to tell the owner
that he isn't doing his share. A lot
Of motor-car owners think the dealer
is merely trying to pass the buck. But
those who have had service station ex-
perience are only too familiar with
| the neglect of essentials shown by
owners of cars They have seen too
many cases of cars that come in "dry,"
along with the walls of the owner that
the car is lemon"
Pleasure to Owner.
Looking after his car ought to be q
sort of pleasure to the automObillst.
He ought to be able to spare little
time in each week to do the outstand-
ing necessary things. If he doesn't
think any more Of the money he has In
vested than the spending of this time
amounts to, he must be a reckless sort
of person.
All this is not 50 much intended for
the ruan who has chauffeur or the
man who keeps his car in q garage
where they look after it right along
But men of this type owe it to them
selves to make sure that the essentials
are being performed. 1t is too easy foi
hired driver or garage man to neg
lect things for day or so, until final
ly the time runs into week or more
and the car actually begins to suffer.
The majority Of motorists attempt t.
look after their cars for themselves
Most of them do not appreciate Tor
moment cast how much fabrication
amounts 20.
4 And here's another thing. Ate
Won have had your springs thoroughly
creased, try a set Of leather sprinI
covers. They'll keep the grease in en'
the dirt out. Your lubricant will las
longer and the effects of 1t will be $
much the mere prolonged.
