Conserve Materials,
Cadillac Dealers Told

The movement for conservation OF
materials is receiving new impetus,
so far as motorcar materials are con-
cerned. from motorcar manufactur-
ers.
The Cadillac Motor Car Company
has just issued a bulletin urging its
distributors and dealers to do every
thing possible to assist in the conser-
walton OF steel. and asks that instruc-
tions be passed on to shop foremen
and workmen to cooperate In every
way they. can.
In its communication to the dealer
organization. the company cites IA
stances of paying hardware prices for
steel It points out that when a car
owner bends or dents fender, II
should be Strengthened. or the dents
bumped out. rather than thrown away
and replaced with new fender.
There are many parts about mo-
torcar. especially steel stamplnss,
which are liable to damage oy accl-
dent or misuse, and unless these are
injured beyond all possibility of re-
pair, it is suggested that they be re-
stored to their original condition, or
as nearly to il as possible.
1t is also suggested that dealers
may have an accumulation OF such
parts. replaced before the scarcity OF
materials became so pronounced, that
could be put into nrst-class shape
and used again where replacement is
an absolute necessity.
