Save Those Tires!
They're Your Last
The need to conserve tires is so
great that we publish again a
checklist of ways to make your
tires last longer:
l. Drive at moderate speed.
Your tires wear out twice as fast
at 60 as they do at 35.
2. Use your brakes with care.
Jamming brakes and fast starts
are sure to scuff the tire, leave
precious rubber on the road.
3. Take curves slowly. Your
tires and you will both live longer.
q. Look out for bumps. Stones,
ruts, and rough roads are tough
on tires. Bruising and scraping
against the curb are bad medicine.
S. Keep your tires properly
inflated. See that the air-pressure
recommended for your tires is
always there. Check the pressure
at least once week. A pound or
too much air is better than not
enough. Check valves to prevent
leakage.
6. Keep your brakes equalized.
Unequal braking shortens tire
life by causing unequal wear.
7. Keep your wheels aligned.
Unequal alignment should be
checked every siz months.
8. Cross-switch your tires.
Wheel-to-wheel changes help tires
wear longer. Shift them every
5000 miles, keeping the spare in
use.
9. Repair promptly. Cuts, leaks,
breaks and bruises need quick
first aid to prevent permanent
damage.
10. Keep your car and tires
under cover as much as possible.
Sun and air ruin rubber.

Vacuum Cleaner Care

Vacuum Cleaner Care
Vacuum cleaners are one of the
many things you may not be able
to buy year from now. Here are
some suggestions on how to take
care of yours:
l. Pick up sharp bits of glass,
pins, or tacks which may damage
your cleaner before you run it
over the rug.
2. Empty the dirt bag at least
once a week. Keep brush free of
thread and hairs.
3. Keep the cord out of the
path of the cleaner. Running the
cleaner over the cord will iniure
the insulation.
a. Follow the manufacturer 5
instructions about oiling your
cleaner. Some have Theoretically
sealed motors you never oil;
others need regular oiling.
5. For effective cleaning, be
sure the nozzle is adjusted at the
proper height above the rug.
Manufacturers directions will
tell you how. If you have a rotary
brush type cleaner, adjust it so
that the bristle tips touch the rug,
for maximum cleaning efficiency.
6. Look into the possibilities of
sharing your vacuum with your
neighbors to get the widest pos
sible service from the cleaners we
now have.
