THE TILLAMOOK I HOW AMATEUR CAN BUILD A RECEIVER Instructions for Setting Up the Antenna and for Assembling the Tuner. Buick Takes Buick Owners Buick responsibility does not end with the sale of a Buick car. It follows the car thru out its entire life. That is why Buick has organized a nation wide authorized Buick service that extends to practically every city, town and village in the United States. Buick owners do not need service often. But they have the comfortable feeling of know ing that they can always be supplied with genuine Buick parts and have their work done by Buick-trained mechanics wherever they may happen to be SUNSET GARAGE Great Western Transpórtate Co PORTLAND—TILLAMOOK Two Trucks Daily Special ratee on household goods an d bulky commodities John Mathers, Agt, Rate: 55c per hundred SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES Are the Best Recommendation of O.

After the winding Is in place give It a coat of shellac or varnish to hold tbe turns In place. Assemble the circular-cut pieces of wood in the geometrical center of tbe square blocks and then shellac or varnish them for the appearance's sake. When thoroughly dry slip the two end blocks Into the wound tube and by moans of a few finishing brads driven through the cardboard tube, fasten the end blocks to the wound tube. The elider is to be mounted on top of the ootl and should be cap able ct making contact with any turn of the wire on the tube. In order to remove the Insulation from the wire just under the rod where the slider moves back and forth, wrap a piece of sandpaper around a thin piece of wood and using another piece of wood as a guide, sandpaper the Insulation from the winding. Drill a hole one eighth inch 1 tu diameter through the slider rod al ibfiut one-fourth inch In from each end so that the rod can be fastened by screws to the end blocks. After the slider rod is fastened in place see that the contact finger on the bottom of the slider can at all times make good contact with the winding. Mount a binding post either end of the coll, attaching by means of a wire to the slider and the other to the end of the wire wound on the tube and the tuner is complete. A tuner cun be purchased already assembled for about «3.50 to $4.00.
