"Motor Trouble"
Has A Different Meaning For
Different People
Rut to the man who appreciates how much he has invested in his
car and how much depends on its being given proper mechanical atten
tion, "motor trouble" means simply that Leighton's is the place to go.
That kind of a car owner knows that the world is full of men who
started out with good intentions but that there are too few men who
combine good intentions with expert knowledge and up-to-the-minute
equipment. t
We "harp" on high-grade machine work because that's the only
variety we do and that's the only variety (hat pays the people we" work
for. Next time, be sure the job goes to Leighton. It'll be guaranteed.

twenty-five, thirty or even fifty
