The Answer is the Same You wouldn’t throw away your watch because the spring was broken—you’d have it fixed by a competent watch maker and get a lot of additional ser vice from it. By the same token, don’t think your car is hopeless just because it is losing power and hasn’t the pick-up it used to have. We can re-condition the cylinders, install new guar anteed piston rings, pistons and pins, and restore all .its old-time power and pep. There’ll be no obligation on your part and w’e’ll be glad to give you a price in advance for the necessary work. A re-conditioned motor will mean additional service, economy and comfort. We are waiting to serv e you. GRESHAM GARAGE HA M LIN & IIO SS, P ro p s. N ig h t P h o n e 706 P h o n e 2391 Swift's Red Steer FERTILIZERS W HAT F E R T IL IZ E R S 1)0.
