green and gold jersies on their backs.
They feel that they have been hon

above the ordinary run OF players
and every one Of them is going to
make a determined bid to start

Champion Spark Plug
National Change Week

Millions of motor car owners now rec
ognize the greater satisfaction as well
as the operating economy resulting from
installing new spark plugs at least once
year, and The Champion Spark Plug
Co., of Toledo, Ohio has adopted a ma
tlonal campaign along this line from
May sill.
Since the inception of the policy ad-
vanced by the manufacturers the num-
Der changing has grown from million
car owners in 1926 to over three million
motorists last year.
Many MOTORISTS are under the i'm
preston, states the Champion manufac-
tulers, that as long as a plug fired that
was all that was necessary but the av-
erage motorist has discovered that mile
age plays a large part in spark plug
as we'll as any other part of a motors
equipment
Ihey point out that the owner will
actually save more money in oil and gas
alone during the next few months, than
the new spark plugs cost. Local dealers
have prepared for the National Change
Week and are ready to serve the vast
army of motorists who believe in motor
car efficiency. We call attention to
their advertisements appearing in this
issue.
