WINTER PURCHASE
OF CAR ADVISED
Many Advantages in Safety
and Comfort Offered
by Buying Now.

The cold weather season OF 1887
should 60 down into history as mark
ing the beginning of the era of Winter
without worry for the automobile
owner.
Even those meticulous motorists
who have assumed that new car was
not especially favored by cold weather
have much to learn in the new scheme
of things. 1t has now been estab-
lished, for instance, that lacquer
stands up more easily under the
greatly decreased sunlight of Winter
time. Excessive sunshine transforms
certain chemicals of the lacquer ma
trix into compounds that are dis
solved by rain and moisture. This
exposes the loose particles of pigment
and allows them to wear off freely.
A new car purchased now, and given
reasonable care during the Winter,
will give about six months additional
service.
In Winter a new car is not likely to
be driven so fast. In spite of all i'm
provements in pistons and cylinder
walls, and the tendency to ignore the
rule about breaking in new engines
carefully, it still is beneficial to baby"
q new car. This can be done more
easily in cold weather, especially If
there is snow or ice on the roads, be-
cause the owner does not feel that he
is holding up traffic by taking it easy.
Every one else is also going cautiously,
and he manages to keep in step with
out difficulty.
One reason why so many motorists
in the past have feared Winter is be-
cause they refused to purchase the
Winter service needed to make their
cars immune. New cars delivered dur
ing the Winter months, however, are
protected with lighter lubricants
throughout the entire chassis. Their
carburetors are tuned to lower tenn
peratures; while thermostats are set
for quicker warming up. Not only is
the cooling system protected with the
most appropriate kind of anti-freeze
for the particular make and model,
but all possible points of leakage are
carefully checked. Detailed matters
of this sort serve, in the aggregate,
to change the whole picture. Many
people who are taking delivery OF 1896
cars now are finding that Winter driv-
ing need not include the handicaps
which they had come to believe were
inevitable.
Cars, wisely broken in during the
Winter months, should give better
service next Summer. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that lighter lubricants
serve better in oiling new, tight
fitting parts. These cannot always be
used safely in Summer because own
ers are likely to start out for long
trip, pounding the car severely. Dur.
ing the many milder days that come
along in Winter the new car will be
ideally fabricated.
New tires, better weight distribu-
ton, eQualized brakes and other aid
will assist the driver in getting about
during the bad weather season with g
minimum of difficulty and danger
There should be no fear of skidding
If the cars speed is kept to reason
able limits. Moreover, new tires dur.
ing the Winter season show practi-
cally no wear. giving the owner several
months additional service and safety
as a consequence. One reason sc
many drivers have trouble with trac-
ton in slippery weather is because
they have worn their tires smooth
during the Summer.
You can have the benefits of greater
traction security with your new car
and all of its new equipment while at
the same time virtually saving all
these benefits for the Summer touring
season ahead. Buying new car and
putting it into service now comes close
to being process of eating your cake
and having it, too.
