HAYNES SERVICE
STATION moving
TONEW QUARTERS
Increased Floor Space Neces-
sary to Accommodate Huge
Volume of Business.

William Lininser, general manager
of the District Haynes Corporation.
announces the immediate removal Of
the Haynes Service Station to much
larger and finer quarters at 1915 L
street northwest. The new service
station will be open for business on
Monday morning, August /.
The new location, widely known as
one OF the largest and finest equipped
garage plants in the city, contains
nearly six times as much floor space
as the former Haynes station at 1887
Fourteenth street.
When this former building was
purchased a number of weeks ago, It
was considered ample for some months
to come, but the astonishing volume
of Haynes sales has already over
taxed the service facilities Of this To-
cation.
Besides permitting more prompt and
efficient service to Haynes owners, the
greatly improved space in the three
story l. street service station will
enable the Haynes concern to continue
the storage arrangements now existing
between the garage operators and
their customers.
The removal Of their service station
will not involve any changes in their
present new car salesroom, of course.
but 1t will have the advantage Of
placing the service department nearer
the main offices of the company.
The used car department, now
housed in the lower floor of the build
ing at 1887 Fourteenth street, will be
continued In this location, while the
upper floors will be devoted to first
class paint and repair shops, where
cars taken in trade will be recondi.

PAPER MAY BE USED
TO QUIET VALVE TAP

When one is travelling and time is
not to be wasted in such tedious and
exacting work as taking up extra
clearance between a push rod and a
valve stem, there is a simple way to
stop an annoying valve tap. The tap
pet with the extra clearance should
be first located by turning over the
engine slowly by hand and feeling
each push rod when IL is at its low.

Having found the guilty tappet, in
sert thin piece Of paper between
the end of the rod and the valve
stem. AS the paper is continually
under pressure IL will not slip out, and
II is not likely TO wear out for quite
a number of miles. II the clearance
is very excessive a piece of q visiting
card will do the trick. AS the engine
is hot when the paper is inserted the
valve stem is not likely to expand any
further and, as a consequence, there
is no danger of the paper holding the
valve omen
