IF YOU OWN A
FORD

That Ford of yours is built to
last. It has the stamina to stand
up year after year. But even the
sturdiest metals and the finest en-
gineering can't prevent trouble II
you neglect the cooling system.
Right now before freezing
weather, have your radiator filled
with the proper amount OF Ever
eady Prestone and water. One gal
loon of Eveready Prestone, at S2.95,
gives any Ford except the V-8 all
winter protection to zero. The V-8
takes two gallons for zero protec-
ton. For other makes, see your
dealers chart.
Eveready Prestone not only saves
your car from freeze-ups but pre-
vents rust and clogging. It won't
boil away. And it costs less per sea-
son because it's concentrated-not
water diluted. Approved by all car
manufacturers, including Ford, and
fully guaranteed by National Car
bon Co, Inc, New York, N. Y.
Records show Washington usually has
freezing temperatures by November ~.
Put in Eveready Prestone now. for SAFE
aH-winter tion.-Advertisement.
