Look as you will compare as you may you'll find no competing values at competing prices. 1 You can prove this for yourself in ten minutes. Just come to our show room, examine the car, check its features . . . and compare them with cars you know in any price class. Then you too will know Oldsmobile for what it is $1000 value now for $875. If you are considering a new car for the Fourth of July, it is advisable to come in and pick one out now in order to assure delivery. ters, so that tno exiiaiisis cars being tested may he connec ted to duct outlets where, there Is sufficient mechanical draft to ex pel the gases. "1 luring the rush periods, when the greatest number of cars are idl her going out or coming In, tho generation and accumulation of gases become the greatest. There fore, during these periods the ven tilating equipment should be op crating continuously at maximum capacity. Ill order to exhaust the vitiated' air as quickly as possible." tTiniiac Air T'hyslcians of tho public health service hnve urged that the air in nil garages he completely rbnnged at least five times every hour. This. It is pointed out. would lie sufficient to dilute tho deadly gases as to remove serious danger of poisoning. The use of small exhaust fans In private garages Is being widely adopted since many automobile owners prefer to work on their own cars but are fright ened by the dangers of carbon monoxide. Tile danger of poisoning by paint iii paint shops has been greatly re- diiced by provisions for correct systems of air conditioning while the automotive Industry Itself has learned to use mechanically con trolled air in practically every phase of manufacture ror both protecting the health of workmen and speeding up production. It has taken the aggressive lend In a iiatinnal movement for better nir conditions In American icitles and to reduce the "sewage of air" which has been created us the by product of Industry.
