trouble of this sort can be avoided as well as
how the needed repairs will be managed.
Many car owners do not always understand
the technical language of the automobile
man, and have only vague idea of what is
going to be done to their cars, or why With
the working parts OF the car and motor
clearly exposed on the floor, it is a simple
matter to point out and make readily under
standable to the car owner what needs to
be done, and why.

A crowded service station cannot render
efficient service. The workmen cannot get

about, and each new car that is driven up

). The Monday Morning Rush

Monday morning is the busy time in an
automobile service station. Cars are gener-
ally worked hard ON Saturday and Sunday,
and things that the owner has neglected are
likely to manifest themselves in that time.
The owner who has not had his car out Of
his garage for several days or weeks, takes
it out on Sunday and finds that it needs
attention. He acts promptly, and while the
subject is still on his mind he drives the car
around to the service station the following
Monday morning. Usually he finds the
place crowded. In many cases he is told
that even for minor repair he must leave
his car there for several days
Provision has been made at the new Stand
ard Eight service station to render all pos
s1ble service to take care of the Monday
morning rush. To this end, no overlauling
jobs receive attention on Monday, and the
time Of every mechanic is devoted to the
necessary quick, small repairs which this
day brings SO many calls for.
