"There la very little overhauling

had wide experience in the auto
mobile repair business the other
day. "You take the average pas
senger car today. It la run one or
two years say ton to fifteen thou

tightens it up, touches up the

"fading" Borrowed from
Myitic Realm of Radio
Recently a new term "fading;"
made its appearance In automobile
merchandising literature.
As applied to motoring, fadlnn
refers to the little Interruptions to
service, the development of irregu.
larlties which sends one to the
service nation and which, the
automobile expert points out. Is
less noticeable in the better-buiit
cars.
