clean, light, and warm. The same perfect job turned
out in cold weather that you rightfully expect in sum
mer. ;
Perfect facilities and an expert workman on the job
all the time: That's well known to people who have
had Playle do car washing before. A high-pressure
spray with the exact cleansing solutions needed cleans
the body, the efigine, underneath, on top.
Look At Your Car!
Is It Too Dingy and Dull For Its Age and Value?
It's easy to let your car go in the winter but it's
hard on the car. Mud splashes, smeared grease and
oil, rain spots all combine to mar the finish and de
stroy its good appearance unless cleaned regularly.
Everybody else looks at your car and it's an actual
economy to keep it clean, inside and out, throughout
the year. Yuo'll take greater pleasure in it yourself,
and you'll retain the greatest possible amount of re
sale value. ;
If you want your car washed and cleaned
inside and find it inconvenient to drive
down, just phone Main 165. We'll call for it
and make prompt delivery after the desired
service is rendered.
