The Deheo Auto Enameling com

plant and inspect the work. This com
many bakes enamels of automobiles
using the "Dehco process" which Is
a combination OF moisture extraction
and baking.
Any car can be enameled success
fully The enamel Is applied to the
wood work as well as to the metal.
All old paint is removed from the,
body OF every car and the surface
smoothed down, and the enamel ap-
rlied as ordinary paint. The car is
then baked about three hours, which
thoroughly dries the enamel. and
leaves the car ready to be rubbed
down and another coat applied.
One Of the most satisfactory fea,

necessary to complete d car 1t only
