Impossible For Patriot
To Refuse In Assisting
To Release Mechanics

About the biggest business we
auto dealers OF FL Paso have on hand
this week is making plain to patrons
how expert mechanics must be re-
leased for Uncle Sans use against
the kaiser" stated D. c. Booth. OF
the Quick Tire Service. this morning.
The cutting out OF unnecessary
service Of all kinds and the establish
ing OF our business on a cash basis
is occupying the attention Of every
dealer in FL Paso right now. The
patrons must understand. As for
dealers there is nothing left for them
to do but to assist and I must say
that no organized body is more loyal
THAI the automobile dealers OF this
city. As yet no dealers have been en-
countered who have refused TO help.
In fact, they cannot refuse. as infor-
nation conveyed 10 US from the gov
eminent discloses ample means TO
cause even bucker to get into line
quickly enough il such should be-
come necessary"
