CARS PAIN TED
IN 3 HOURS
At NIGHT

"You can get your shoe half sOled
while you wait or your suit pressed
While you wait so why shouldn't you
get your automobile painted while you
waltz"
This query was propOunded by A.
L. Hackenberger, Dutch Mill" motor
car paint specialist, 444 South Alamo
street. when he inaugurated his new
est stunt, painting motor car in five
hours, last week.
"Of course" said Mr.. Hackenber-
ger, 1--WE haven't got it down to as
fine a point as painting a car in 30
minutes or anything like that al
though l believe sincerely that it Is
coming in time, with improved meth
DDS and paints. But we have now
made it possible for the professional
or business man to get a guaranteed
paint job done at night, something
that / believe is new in the automobile
paint game.
For instance, the doctor who uses
his car all day or the salesman who
must have his car TO call on trade
need not go even a single day without
his automobile. He can drive his car
into my shop at 5 80 or 6 o'clock 10
the evening, at the close of business.
By s 80 the following morning he can
step on the starter as usual and go on
his way with a shining new car fresh
from the paint shop. This is not o
haphazard job either. We remove every
bit of paint on the car, we clean the
car thoroughly taking off all old pol
ish, grease, CRIME and dirt. Then We
completely paint it from top TO wheels
in any desired colors, give it any trim
specified and the paint will be hard
and dry the next morning so that
should it be raining, the car can be
driven right onto the street withour
harm to the paint. The coat will have
q rich durable finish and will look eX.
actly like a new car fresh from the
factory and sometimes better.
'More than that, we give a guaran-
tee with every one of these night jobs
Just the same as with any other kind
of a job and our guarantee means
something more than mere words. The
night job is in every respect, as com
plete and satisfactory a job as any
and is especially designed to give serv.
ice to the business people who need
their cars and who can not afford IA
have them tied up all day long,"
Mr.. Hackenberger has grown up in
the paint business. He originated the
Hackenberger system of automobile
painting, a system that is unique and
has been employed on many hundreds
of cars in San Antonio with surpris
ing success. Among his patrons ART
not only individual customers but mo
tor car dealers and dealers in recon
ditioned automobiles. He began work
ing with paints as a boy and he has
conducted countless experiments witt
all kinds of paints, pigments, oils
varnishes and combinations. His
Hackenberger system is the result ot
these years OF experimentation so thai
he has perfected a method whereby
most of the labor and expense of cal
painting has been eliminated and vel
the results are even better than under
the old methods once employed.
Il know paints" said Mr.. Hacken
berger. land when n customer calls or
me. he does not find me in a swive
chair in the front office but right bach
in the paint shop, often with paint OF
my clothes, hands and face because
no job ever comes into this shop thai
does not receive my personal super
vision. ] do not mean to say that / d.
the work on every car personally be
cause could not do that. have bull
up a growing industry here in Sa1
Antonio"
