NO CHANGES IN
ACTUAL SERVICE
All Necessary Service Same
During Open Hours,
Says Booth.

IN actual necessary service for
auto patrons there is absolutely nc
change while we are Open" states d.
C Booth OF the Quick Tire Service,
Inc There is no night service. none
after 8 o'clock every evening and none
at all on all Sundays and holidays.
But during the hours we are open, all
the former service in every line is
still at the disposal OF our customers.
The change merely means that the
time to secure necessary work and
repairs is limited
1T is the policy Of all the local es-
adjustments OF the Quick Tire Ser
vice in the many cities Of the United
States to assist the government in its
policy OF retreuchmeut, and TO this
end our customers seem quite willing
to get a hump on themselves and get
necessary work done before o'clock
and TO prepare for the necessities Of
in the way Of gasoline, oil and
repairs before Sunday arrives"
While there are some incouven-
fences to patrons who may not have
seen the notices Of the local auto
1ealers due to absence from the city.
Tor the most part patrons are informed
and ready for the move.
