he GIVES SERVICE

Gives Full Value.
Every Need of MotOrist Is
Given Prompt Attention.

There is something wrong with an
automobile If it sQueaks when you
are driving it. Perhaps just~a few
bolts, or screws need Tightening, or
perhaps some other trivial thing needs
to be done to put it in perfect condi-
ton, but the fact remains that If
there Is a squeak, something Is wrong.
This fact was discovered several years
ago by Topeka man. Hundreds
of persons who drive q car, year in
and year out do not know one thing
about the mechanical parts of the
engine and SO for this reason, the To-
peka man, Harmon e. Drum, estab-
lished the Motor Inn at Tenth and
Tyler streets.
The Motor Inn IL a place where
the motorist may get a nickels worth
of value for each nickel he may
spend The aim of the Motor Inn has
been since it's beginning in August
1921, to give the greatest possible
service to the public at a minimum
cost.
The Motor Inn at Tenth and Tyler
streets carries a complete line of ac-
cessories, tires, etc. This firm is the
first one in Topeka to do simonizing
Simonizing as everyone knows is the
art of applying a patented hard wax
coat to a car so that 1t depreciates
very little in value and the original
varnish on the car will not check nor
mar. Many persons before they drive
Inn where they are treated to the
simoniZing process prolonging the
life and adding to the beauty of the
finish of the car. II purchasers de-
sire to do their own simonizing, they
may buy the hard wax preparation at
the Motor Inn, Tenth and Tyler and
the company will thoroly instruct the
purchaser as to the method of apply
ing the wax.
