But how come?" ho was naked, "Isn't there nothing to it but just standing off a little way and shoot Ing a spray of paint at a car wlti a snrny gun. then waiting a little while and. doing the samo thing over again? The, word lacquer to most folks means Just a mighty easy way of painting anythtng from tho breakfast nook tablo to the finest built motor car." "Yes, altogether too true," said the Packard paint man. "Moybo that's why so few breakfast nook tubles measure up to expectations. Tho ono I finished last night lias us fine a polish as any ptuno but look where I rubbed tho bark off those fingers. At that finishing furnituro with lacquer, considered in terms of hard work, is about like cutting angel food cu.ko as compared with the Job of painting an automobile with lacquer.

It's no accident when they insist on one certain service. . Take your own case. Do you buy gas or oil, or have a tire vulcanized, or get your car washed, or stop for a greasing job, or buy a new tire do you do any or all of these things at random stop at the nearest place? Of course not. Your money is too hard to get to be spent carelessly. That's the reason Playle's is preferred by the ma jority of car owners in this territory. They arecare ful buyers they know expert service and insist on it. PLAYLE'S SUPERIOR SERVICE COSTS NO MORE THAN ORDINARY SERVICE j .

These, compounds might tend to clog the -radiator tubes.
