Backing up the claim that
''Older Cars Need Better Care,"
a national survey reveals the
startling information that 20,000
car graveyards, like the above,
are filling up with scrapped ma
chines at the rate of 4,000 to
3,000 per day. Of the autos still
in use, more than one third are
over seven years old.

COSILY REPAIRS
Any motorist unfortunate
enough to experience the failure
of some vital part of his car this
fall may consider himself for
tunate if he Is again able to use
the machine within six or eight
weeks or longer. The reasons:
Extreme shortage of certain
bearings, gears, pistons, valve
stems and guides, rear axles. I
gaskets and other essentials:
acute shortage of skilled me
chanics; rapidly increasing
breakdowns of- many cars, espe
cially models five years old or
older. 1
Suh is the summary of today's
transportation situation the I
most critical In motoring ris-'
tory as gleaned from state- !
ments of leading auto . parts
houses and repair establish-
ments of the Pacific coast area.
Thus, mindful of the fact that '
older cars need better care, the I
operators of Mobilgas stations
are again launching their win- j
terproof car-protection program,
to help drivers guard every pos-1
sible mile pf their cars' lives.
"The winterproof plan an-1
nounced today." declares Claude !
C. Holmes, distributor for Gen- !
eral Petroleum corporation, "of
fers opportunity for many to :
help make sure their cars will
'see them through' for the dura
tion. "Mobilubrication, by the cele
brated X-ray method, necessary
crank care and gear oil changes,
radiator service, inspection of
tires, batteries, air and oil filters,
spark plugs, ignition systems,
wheel bearings and other im
portant parts are offered and
performed by Mobil men as the
need Is Indicated for each car.
This Is ad
vice given by
D. M. Effin?er,
G. P. battfl-y
and federal tire representative
in this area, who says:
"As we get into the season of
colder nights and mornings, bat
teries should be checked every
week for water level and for
hydrometer reading. -Should
reading of any cell fall to 100
or below, battery should be re
charged at once. It might fail
to operate at a critical moment,
causing costly delay, extra ex
pense and annovance.
"If It will not take a charge
satisfactorily, It should be replaced.
"miring the present winter
proof period Mobilgas dealers I
are paying particular attention !
to the battery service, as the1
cold weather puts an added
strain on batteries. j
"And to further prepare your
car to meet winter-weather con-
dltions, it would be a good plan
to have your Mobilgas dealer in-
SDect all the
with an eagle eye. to find any
ireaa cuts, nails glass or other
faults that might cause failure.
It Would alsn hp ArlvlcnhlA in
have tires cross-switched, to
even wear and increase life, if
tnis operation has not been per
formed durlns the nnst s unn
miles of driving.
