Manger is just as great at all times
If automobile- engines aro permit

muny automobile owners will tune
up their own car for the summer.
Much of this work will he done

It will bo done In! tho owner's srar

motors running Instdo of buildings
It Is timely to ugatn point out tho
precautions which should be taken.
"Automobile manufacturers real
ize fully what this gus might da
their workmen If It were permitted
to contaminate the air In tho fac
tories. At most plunts the air Is
kept free of the deadly gas by a
system of fans or blow em which
carry all exhaust fumes from the
motors outsldo of the buildings."

Lacquer Finish
Requires Muscle
Painter Claims
"Just goad old ftiuhloncd htwnun
muscle," said the iimui who directs
the painting: of all cars ut tho
the l'urktird Motor Car company
ulunt when he was aaked what
puts on the mlrror-UKo finish. Lac
quer painting of cars, h added,
rorms ono of the moat Important
Improvements In the history of tho
automobile industry but has taken
from the Job nono of tho really
hard work.
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. If It
Is a cur that stands up at tho top
in quality."
The building wlioro rackurd
bodies are painted- Is so largo that
Democratic and Hepubllcan na-
'tlonal conventions could bo held
ut the same time on any ono or ino
three floors without interfering
with eueh other. The bodies start
from tho famous "Iron Maidens",
fixtures In which tho frame Is as
sembled. They get their names
because of their absolute implac
ability In Insistence upon preci
sion. , ,
Thu metal surfaces are prepar
ed for tho finish wiillo the body Is
being assembled. Inspectors hover
over the lino for Its cntlro length.
The end is ut what Is known as
"Mind" blnst booths. Broken up
bits of steel bearing balls, as fine
us ocean sund are shot at the metal
surfaces of the body with 70 pound
of air pressur. This removes tho
scale from. tho surfaces and takes
uway all dirt, dust or greuso. Kour
bodies are blasted at onco by four
operators, euch clud In a suit of
nrnior und ft head dress Uko a
diver's helmet. .
As a body emerges from tho
"snnd" blast four other men with
ua muny air lines give It a dusting.

There Must Be Some Satisfying Reason Why
Playle's
Is Preferred
. Motorists don't "just happen" to trade, at a cer
tain place. 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

You Drain the Crank Case
Why Not
Drain the Radiator?
The alcohol and anti-freeze mixtures used to
prevent freezing last winter are no longer
needed. These, compounds might tend to clog
the -radiator tubes. To prevent this we sug
gest that you drive up and let us refill the rad
iator with clean water.
f crhaps it sounds funny to hear us suggest
the use of our free water, but we just figured
that some of vou might want to get a crank
case full of VELTEX Motor Oil while here or
a tankfull of peppy VELTEX Gasoline.
