Howd YOU Like to Crank
'.the Old Bus 1,000 Times?
"It couldn't be done," you say
And yet the old bus has been cranked
about 1,000 times during the last "5,000
miles you have driven.
Your starter has certainly done a big job,
nnd so have your generator, coil and timer.
They ought to be inspected, cleaned and
adjusted to keep them working efficiently.
Bring your car to the Official Bosch
Service Station, for we have factory tools
and testing apparatus, employ electrical
experts and use only genuine parts.
Don't delav neglect is always expensive.

president of which aHSociation lias
justified the olmence of N. .M. A.
ihroiiKh his admission that "the
rivalry between the National Mo
torists association and the Ameri
can Automobile association during
the last two yeury has been dis
tinctly beneficial. H has stimu
lated a progressive intercut in mo
toring problem that would never
have been attained in uny other
way." Judife l,ee says "This coun
try la sufficiently large to neces
sitate the cxlstelicu of ut least two
national organizations of motorists
providing each i.s sincere in its
purpose and is actually rendering
efficient service." ,
It Is a pre-remiialte to club mem
bership lnN. M. A. that the, up
pTIcaiii ussocVftlo'n he '"organized on
a non-profit basis ami entirely de
void of every taint of commercial
ism. It iuu.it be rendering emerg
ency roail service, legal, touring
and legislutlve bureau services.
Members of N. SI. A. are assured
of service In every state in the Un
ion and almost every province in
Canada. There are but few auto
mobile associations that refuse to
recognize N. M. A. membership
cards or render the same service
on 1 heir present at ion as 1 hey do
to their own members. Kach N.
M. A. unit Is pledged to courteous
ly receive and advise every mo
torist whether a member c," an au
tomobile club or not.
Many of the largest nnd better
organised automobile clubs In this
country are members of N. M- A.
and in territories where fully func
tioning associations do not nt pn-s-ent
exist. X. M. A. Is organizing
the motorist on a statewide basis.
This association expects to have
every state In the union so or
ganized before manv months. In
asmuch as lis plan provider for The
through Mississippi and Alabama
to llirmingham. i hence east and
through Georgia with a terminus
the tourist is at present beset will at Cedar Key. Kia. This project
be reduced to a minimum if not en- lis being conducted in the Interest
lirely eliminated. The curse of of good roads and the development
touring today Is the existence of 'of motor travel to the soulh. Kv
the gyp" garage where motorists cry motorist Is welcome to join
are gouged on repair casts, the
unscrupulous constables and Jus
tices who maintain speed traps and
the various other types of vultures
who are preying on the public. The
N. SI. A. shield signs which will ho
honey-combed throughout the en
tire country along every main trav
eled highway will he a guarantee
of safety and honesty to every mo
tor car owner.
The activity of X. M. A. In con
nection with the recent non-stop
drive over the Magnolia route has
been the subject of much favor
able comment. Th chairman of
-the (tucuUva---4MmiiUUuo.- of-. tlu)
Mississippi branch of N. SI. A., A.
V. Jang of Gulf port, SI iss., was
chained to the steering post of a
Stndebaker tmiring car, ami drove
from liulfport. Miss., to Chicago.
Ilk. a distance of about eleven hun
dred nol8 in forty hours actual
driving" time. This was but a few
hours slower thun t he best time
made by a crack Illinois Central
train between these termini.
The X. M. A. in conjunction with
the National Highwuys association
;s sponsoring a gtguntic motorcade
this fall from Chicago to the South
land. Keservattons thus far made
exceed one h u nd red hc vent y-f i ve
care whirh. will lenvo in this cars-van.-
The route tto he followed
will be sout h through Inninois,
crossing Into Missouri from Cairo
at liirds point thence over the
M ississlppi It her Scenic highway
through Avkansiis to Memphis,
Ten n. At tins point the caravan
will be divided into two sections,
one continuing south through Mis
sissippi to liulfport. The other cast
over the p,:tnkhend highway
thls motorcade nnd there wili be no
admipsion fee.
Judge I.ee feels that N. ST. A. is
a very active organisation nnd
arises to spike nil rumors of an nl
leged aff llatlon. The magnitude
of their program stamps this as
sociation as an institut Ion to be
reckoned will'.
The Reputation Of These

product if they wish to hold their business. They are" CON
VINCED that Vellex is that variety. He sale buy from a

-ti&uestlmz Why is
a used Butck the
next best buy to a
new Buick?
mSWCr: Because the cor
rectness of Buick design and the
quality of Buick manufacture are not
altered by use. A used Buick is a
better investment than many new
cars of other makes.
