Life Sentence Lifted From Rich

AUTO SERVICE
CLINICS Held
Cadillac Dealers Of 70
Key Cities Decide
Car Needs

The convention Of the national
service representatives and educa-
tional personnel Of the Cadillac Mo-
tor Car company has been called 70
meet at the Cadillac plant. Detroit,
April 1927 by Nicholas Dreystadt,
the company's general service man
ager. This is the regular quarterly
meeting called for conference pur-
poses with the company's service,
engineering and manufacturing de-
partments.
TIE service representatives are
permanently stationed in the Is dis
tricts into which the country is di-
vided and visit every distributor and
dealer no periodic intervals. They
are held responsible for the charac-
ter OF service IN every Cadillac-La-
Sale service station and their con
tracts with distributors and deal
ers are for the purpose of instruct
ing, supervising, checking and re-
porting upon conditions Of service.
They also carry on a large amount
of educational work in new and i'm
prved methods Of service and in
struct service men and mechanics by
the use Of slide films.
The educational men have just
completed. through clinics held IN
20 key cities throughout the coun-
try. the installation Of an entirely
new system Of automobile service.
This is the determination of exact
service requirements by diagnosis.
II is based upon accurate knowledge
BY the automobile tester Of every
possible cause OF each symptom re-
curing correction and provides
quick testing methods b. which each
cause can be eliminated until the
one actually producing the trouble
remains.
In sneaking OF service diagnosis
which has been installed throughout
the country in charlottesville ser
vice stations. Mr.. Dreystadt states:
Cadillac in its long history has pio-
neered in many new developments.
We believe the installation Of the
service diagnosis is another such
pioneering achievement. The determ-
nation Of what service a car re-
quires has heretofore been a matter
of guesswork. In many cases II has
been very skillful guesswork, but
guesswork nevertheless.
can automobile is primarily a me-
4 chanical unit. For every symptom
requiring correction, there al be
only a certain definite number Of
causes. For some symptoms, il IS
true. there may be many causes, but
il Is just a matter Of taking infinite
pains TO discover and tabulate every
possible cause.
1T has also taken years Of eX-
perience gathered from many SER
vice stations to discover quick, prac-
teal tests and to check each known
cause. The perfection Of this sys-
tenn has already produced remark
able savings for owners OF Cadillac
and LaSalle Ears and las greatly
simplified cur service problems

served to dissolve the properties
which hold the rubber PARTICLES sus-
pended in the fluid. Inns brings the
rubber to the surface where 1t can
be skinned off just as cream Is
skinned off OF cows milk.
The value OF the plantation rubber
to the industry has beca tremendous.
Scientific care Of plantations and ex-
tensive study Of methods for han
ding the latex have produced n de-
pendable rubber which. Goodrich en-
gineers say. has been q vital factor
in improving automobile tire quail
ity. Compromising Of rubber and
pigments is done with the assurance
that n more uniform service will re-
suit from he product.
The planting and c~Gltivating OF
rubber trees has kept pace with the
demand for its product. Today there
arc more than four million acres Of
rubber trees under cultivation in va
rious far-east tropical countries and
from these sources come practically
81 per cent of the crude rubber used
in the manufacture of tires and
other rubber products.

THE WORD OF GOD

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God: being justified freely by His grace thru the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be propitiation thru faith in His blood. to declare His righteous ness: for the remission of sins that are past. thru the forbearance of God: therefore we conclude that is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.-Romans v: 23, z4, 25. 2s.
