The War Production Beard early this
year made certain that there would be
enough antI-treeze to meet the real
neeGs Of every car, bus, and truck
owner. This was done for q double
barrelled reason:
First. automobiles that carry millions
OF war workers to their Jobs must be
kept running.
Secondly, Americans cant afford to
have a single vehicle damaged by a
freeze-up. Automobiles cannot be re-
placed, and such parts as radlators, cyl
inder heads and engine blocks are ex-
trenlely hard to get.
While you may not always be able
to get the type or brand of anti-freezc
you prefer, your dealer will have enough
anti-freeze of one kind or another to
give you full winter protection. But
remember, anti-freeze III your dealers
stockroom won't protect your car. Get
it into our radiator before there's any
danger OF a freeze.
