With the arrival of spring the
Gasoline Alleys" of the country have
awakened into humming, hammerine

active metal parts of most of the
country's motor cars are receiving
the life saving grease for which they
have been squeaking and squealing
all winter.
The women folks of gasoline al

on mounting laundry bills. Getting
out and getting under never was
conducive to cleanliness of personal
linen and then, too, opening of gas
oline alley has caused the reappear-

value of adequate fabrication is ap-

on Packard cars has ended the get
