OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1944, firfl n Check rtaxi 0 "g! $r& XX CHECK BATTERIES AND TIRES MORE CAREFULLY THAN EVER Because no car owner wants to take chances on being stalled, mo torists are advised to have both the battery and tires checked more carefully than ever as the time of cold, wet weather and slippery pavements approaches. This is advice given by- D. M. Effinger, G. P. Battery and Fed eral Tire representative in this area, who says: "As we got into the season of colder nights and mornings, bat teries should be . checked every week for water level and for Hy drometer reading. Should read ing -of any cell fall to 1,200 or biJow, battery should be recharg ed at once. It might fall to op erate at a critical moment, caus ing costly delay, extra expense and annoyance. "If it will not take a charge sat isfactorily, It should be replaced. "During the present winter proof period Mobllgas dealers are paying particular attention to the battery service, as the cold weath er puts an added strain, on bat teries ana those which are not no to nroncr efficiency are ant to give out at any time often at the most embarrassing moments. "And to further prepare your car to meet winter-weither con ditions, it would he a good plan to have your Mobllgas dealer in spect all the tires of your car with an eagle eye, to find any tread cuts, nails, glass or other lauits thai might cause failure. It would also be advisable to have tires cross-switched, to even wear and increase lite, if this opera tion has not been performed dur ing the past 5,000 miles of driv ing. "Your friendly Mobllgas dealer is anxious to help you avoid the annoyance of failure during the winter months, ana he is well equipped to render service that may save you trouoie ana tempo rury loss of use of your car."
