I'm thinking of those little metal caps that fit over the tire valves of your car— and they’re a lot more important than most people think. They not only keep dirt out of the valve, but they're the only real protection against sudden valve leakage, and hold up to 260 pounds of pressure I suggest that you ask your Standard Service Man to replace any that are missing. They cost only a few cents and may save a tire. PAGE When any appliance is damaged or out of adjustment, no matter how slightly, consult your local electric dealer st once. He's equipped to make thorough repairs His charges are reasonable. When you “put it off" you invite larger repair bills later and possibly permanent damage. PACIFIC POWER A LIGHT COMPANY
