able the great number of usable
parts that can be salvaged from

than to have them repaired. This
company buys these ears that have
been overworked at low prices and
take out the parts that ARE not
worn and arrange them in stock
where they are easily found to sup.
ply the place of broken part of
some other car.

to make success of this business,
as there are types OF cars that the
parts are OF no value, and there are
many parts of car that are never
broken. so that much OF the wreck
age Is junked. However, those ex-
perienced in this work avoid these
difficulties and find 1t quite profitable
for themselves as well as their Gus
toners to handle these used parts.
Most Of them are as good as new
and can be sold at about half price
