doing this he was driving out the
lighter, thinner lubricant which
alone could reach the tight places in
and around the spring bolts.
Oil Instead Of Grease
Several of the chassis luBricating
systems now popular on some of the
representative cars use oil instead
OF grease, thereby suggesting to a
great number OF motorists the pos
sible advantage in more extensive
use of engine oil for keeping the
chassis in condition.. That there Is
some possibility Of overriding the
idea is readily suggested by another
popular lubricating system which
uses a soft grease in preference to-
oil.
Many car owners who have given
serious consideration to all phases of
the problem of lubricating the. auto
mobile have concluded that there ID
much to be said for something OF q
compromise between grease and oil.
They feel that certain parts OF the
car which may operate successfully
on oil would function better IL
creased. With this thought in mind,
they have greatly increased the ef-
ficiency Of their cars by using both
oil and grease guns in the lubrica-
ton process.
Out of the many conflicting argu-
ments. the motorist has come to
learn that it often pays to alter
nate between oilyand grease. Many
also see the lDeat advantage in
using different Kinds and grades OF
lubricant for different parts of the
car.
Moderation Is Wise
The chassis Iubricating systems
also tell the car owner that he
does not want to overdo fabrication,
a warning that probably is I'M
necessary is most cases. He is told
to operate the plunger at scf1ed-
uled intervals and is warned against
OVERRIDING the operation. Motorists
with cars of older vintage are dis
covering from this that it is pos
sfbIe to do positive damage to vari-
Gus units Of the car by too much
fabrication. The bearing can be
choked with grease so that the fan
will not operate. Generators can
be over.oiled. Too much lubrica-
ton of wheel bearings can, and
does, create a considerable amount
of brake trouble.
Whatever chassis lubricating is
doing to change the automobile, it
is undeniable that it is modifying
| the public's attitude toward the
subject and, in particular, the aver
age car owners method of applying
| such care.
AS one keen observer puts 1t, the
new chassis oiling systems are
| lubricating motor thought.

BY studying the principles OF the
new systems, the average car own
er can learn a great deal about the
older type on his present car. Each
Of the new systems found on the
new models seems to have some
thing to suggest to the car owner
with regard to fabrication in gen.
eral.
Many motorists who have in
spected the 1928 creations at the
automobile shows have come away
with some very definite ideas for
improving the fabrication Of their
present cars. They have picked up
a number Of good ideas which are
just as applicable to older systems
az to the newer ones. Better lubrf-
cation OF cars is expected to be one
Of the results of this situation.
On one Of the new cars, for in
stance, the chassis is fabricated by
oil driven out to the various points
on the frame by expansion. Heat
from the exhaust manifold is utfI-
lied for this purpose. This has
suggested to a number of shrewd
car owners benefits to be derived
by applying heat wherever possible
in the process Of fabrication.
Heat Trims Grease
On the other hand, this new type
Of chassis lubricating system has
impressed many car owners with
the fact that certain parts Of the
car actually may suffer because of
the influence that heat exerts upon
the lubricant. This is very well
illustrated in the case of some of
the spring control devices now be-
ing used. 1t frequently happens
that the one directly over the right
rear wheel gives trouble because
OF the grease thinning out and get
ting on friction surfaces. The de-
vice is close to the hot exhaust
pipe.
In the chassis lubricating system
just referred to, the cooling of the
exhaust manifold is utilized to ere.
ate a vacuum in the oil lines,
thereby serving to draw back into
the reserve tank any oil which
might be regarded as excess. This
has suggested to other car owners
the fact that a great deal of excess
lubricant is supplied to spring bolts
and shackles and other points of
the chassis at various times which
results not only in a waste of Iubri-
cant but also very frequently con.
stitntes a sacrifice in fabrication
efficiency.
An excellent illustration OF this is
found in the story of one car owner.
He had always experienced a great
deal OF trouble lubricating one of
the rear spring bolts. In an effort
to combat this annoyance, he de.
cided to drive quite q bit of fairly
heavy grease into troublesome
points. He did not realize that in

outlook for 1928 is excellent, accord
ing to A. e. Sparks, local manager.
It has been the policy of the Mel
sci Tire Company to offer GUS
toners quality merchandise only.
It was in this way that the twelve
pay plan originated. Knowing that
the natural tendency is to resort to
the cheaper lines when a large cash
outlay is unexpectedly required, Mr..
Meisel conceived the idea of selling
quality tires on q weekly payment

also sold on this plan.
Twenty stores in principal cities
Of the United States are now
operated by the MeiseI Tire Com,

been demonstrated that the plan
fills a real need.
OF course, the deferred plan OF
selling is criticised. The chief OBJ
lection brought out by opponents
seems to be that the easy credit
offered will tempt prospective
purchaser to buy more than he
can pay for.
The Meisel Tire Company has
found that the average buyer does
