SAFETY CORNER
STATION OFFERS
MANY FEATURES

The Safety Corner Service Sta
tion believes that there is no bet
ter way of advising the public in
regard to its products and service
than through the Automotive Sec
tion of the Imperial Valley Press,
and will endeavor to explain in de-
tail, just what the Safety Corner
has to offer in the way of products
and service.
Starting with the front end of
the station, which is the gas and oil
department, the motorist will find
gasoline dispensed from visible
pumps, where the grade and quality
can be checked without any more
effort than is required to look at
the pumps. Oils are dispensed
from an air-controlled, visible foun-
tain, where the grades of oil can
be seen i'll glass tubes, each grade
being plainly marked with price and
name. These two items take the
gamble out of fuel and fabrication
purchases for the car. This equip
mcnt is the most up-to-date and
complete that the market affords.
Next in line is the tire depart
ment, which carries one of the most
complete lines of tires in Imperial
Valley. All sizes and types are
kept in stock at all times. The
Safety Corner is the first warehouse
dealer representative to be estab-
lished by the Dunlop Tire Company
west of the Mississippi river. The
franchise covers CoachelIa, Imperial
and Yuma valleys and adds consid-
cradle Importance to the tire in.
dustry of Imperial county. In
choosing Safety Corner as repre-.
sentatives for this district, the Dun
lop Tire Company feels they have
chosen a young. growing business
that is in line with the Dunlop com
pany's policy, as the oldest execu.
tive in their organization has just
passed his forty second birthday.
Accessory Line Complete
Along with this department the
Safety Corner is handling a shock
absorber that is within the reach
of everyone's pocket and is guaran
teed to give results. This shock
absorber is of the newest type and
controls the spring action of the
car in place of. tieing the axle tc
the frame. 1t is made and distrib
utcd by one of the largest manufac
turers of springs in the, Unitc(
States. Along with the two above
named items a full line of accessor
les is carried, such as fan belts
light bulbs, spark plugs, etc.
The Sulcanizing department fol
lows next and is complete in every
way, having the most modern equip
ment for the required work includ
ing vulcanizing apparatus, tire
spreaders, tire removers and buf
fers. This work is handled by tht
most competent men who are capa
bic of servicing tires with speed ant
accuracy. Space is reserved in thi
department for motorists to wal
while having their tires serviced
The space is covered over by tn,
main building, providing shade dur
ing the heated portion of the year
The shop department is next ant
is also complete in equipment and
experienced operators. This depart
ment covers space % by 80 feet
and can take care of q number of
ears without crowding. Brake lin
ing and adjusting on both hydraulic
and mechanical brakes, are perform,
ed with expert attention. Wheel
alignment is also being featured as
this is one of the most neglected
adjustments on the average motor
ear. The latest designed equipment
was secured for this work and the
management feels that it is in ex.
cellent position to serve the public
in this capacity.
Car Cleaning Offered
Another important feature of the
shop department is the replacing
of worn out tie rods and spindle
bolts and bushings. The replace
mcnt or repair of these parts re,
moves noises and rattles and enables
the grease to be retained in the
wearing parts. A car that has had
these parts replaced or freed, and
is creased regularly in our shop de,
partmont, is guaranteed against fur.
ther replacement. The greasing is
performed under thcs supervision of
a mechanic who realizes the import
ancc of proper greasing and is also
familiar with all makes of ears and
points to be fabricated. Two hy.
draulic jacks are available for this
work and the ear is raised five feet
from the ground whore it is possible
to reach every part with ease. A
spray is used for lubricating the
body bolts, which eliminates unnee.
cssary noises in the car. A power
gun is used to force the grease
into parts having connections for
it. This is an Improvement over
the old hand gun that made it al
most impossible to grease parts
that were tight or had "frozen"
through lack of grease.
Clean and sanitary rest rooms are
maintained for the use of the trav-
cling public, which is free to use
them at any time.
