MOTORISTS, DON'T
FORGET RADIATORS

Motorists should be careful
about the radiators of their
automobiles freezing these days.
The weather is very uncertain.
A cold night, when you are
asleep, will fix your radiator
and cause lot of damage and a
jar to your pocketbook. Last fall
many motorists were caught by
the freeze-up. BY all means
keep your cars drained any cold
night, and if too cold, during
the day while the auto is
standing around.
