STUDY INSTRUCTION
BOOK, SAYS SHERWOOD

Instruction books are really a part
Of the sale of the car that they 80

Using manager Of the Briscoe Motor
corporation, jackson, Mich. because
the instruction book, il read and fol-
lowed, viii greatly increase the APP
probation Of the owner Of the car ana
from an otherwise indifferent owner
make OF him a booster.
1t does not follow that everyone who
buys an automobile Is personally going
TO keep his car in running shape, es-
pecially is this true among the high.
priced cars. But among cars OF med
ium price, such as the BriScoe, the own
CT will take II upon himself to attend
to the small adjustments necessary end
he will take pride in understandings the
mechanical features Of his car
That is where the instruction book
plays an important part.
Take oiling for instance, once 4
month the average car owner takes tus
car to the garage man for thorough
olling. He would rather trust this mat
ter to q competent mechanic than I'M
dertake the unpleasant task himself,
But there are bearings in his car which
need attention every $50 miles running,
BY reference to his instruction book
these are easily located, ana these
grease cups are in the Brscoe, readily
accessible The oiling chart will show
also the cups that need twist or two
eVeFy 500 miles, and SO on,
IL the oiling Instructions alone We're
followed the instruction book would
well pay for itself IN saving the owner
repair bills caused from dry bearings,
That Is, in effect, the Importance OF
the instruction book to the automobile
manufacturer and dealer II Mr.. Brown

that the fan bearing should have
grease every 500 miles and simple
though il appears, the bearing will run
hot If the matter is neglected and seri-
Gus damage will result, And Mr., Brown
In ignorance will blame II on to the car
rather than his own neglect,
Batteries and ignition also require
constant attention and the complete in
struction books treat on these items so
that the novice can understand. Then,
If he fails to have his battery examined
according to instructions and the gray
lty is too low, he cannot reasonably
blame anyone but himself
still another item, small In appear
ance. but mighty in importance, is the
attention due the springs, The Rrlscoe
instruction book points to the places
where the owner Cor hts chauffeur)
must give personal service, II will be
too late If you walt for the garage man
to help you out
In conclusion" Mr. Sherwood re-
marked. u shall remind you that the
automobile Is n highly complex piece
of machinery requiring care and
thoughtful attention from It's owner.
The instruction book II studied care
fully, will save many trips to the re-
pair shop"
