ELECTRIC vULcANlzER
IS REAL MONEY SAVER

Among the many accessories used
by automobile owners, the electric
vulcanizer, which can be connected
in the garage to lighting socket.
is both a money saver and a great
convenience.
To make a satisfactory repair on
tire or tube, the main essential
next TO a firm pressure is an alb
solutely steady application OF heat
at a constant predetermined tenn
perature. In the electric vulcan
izer. automatic heat control is pos.
sible so that the amateur can do
practically as satisfactory a Job as
any regular tire repair man. OF
course, the bigger jobs should be
taken to a garage or tire shop, but
for small repairs such as the pune
ture OF tubes, the electric vulcan
izer is boon TO motorists.

COUNCIL VOTES TO PAVE

At their meeting Tuesday night, the
Viroqua city council did the wise and
proper thing by voting to lay the con-
crete pavement on Decker street to the
west city limits from Main street, and
the two blocks of the business district
on Rock street south from Decker.
Two factors made this action almost
imperative-the low bid lowest in the
state since 1914), and the amount OF
county property and the county coop.
Grafton in extending the pavement te
the Chasetown corner.
Pavements cost lots of money, but
the travelling public is surely blessing
the men who caused the Main street
pavement to be laid every time they
drive over it after fioundering around
in a sea of mud on all the other roads
in this spring breakup season.
