What a magnificent tribute to the

What better proof could there be that
the Chevrolet is meeting with the nsocs

Here is tho best selling argument im
aginable. It doesn't come from .us, tho manu
facturer. It doesn't come fru.u you, the dealer.
It comes from the consumer the own-,

The materials which enter into con
struction of plain-tread tires are rubber-
compounding ingredients and cot
ton fabrics. The rubier, especially
plnntatinon rubber, is coming on the
market in a much more uniform condi
tion, which makes it possible for manu
facturers to turn out a tire of more uni
form quality. With respect to com
pounding ingredients, a number of new
and better materials have been discov

Tinkerers
There are a lot of fellows who Ibink they can correct
trouble in the electric system on a car by tinkering
with it. They think they know a lot about electricity.
Just give them enough time and they'll find the
troublemaybe. But you pay the bill for that
tinkering.
We know a lot about electric starting and lighting
systems, because we have
THE ELECTRICAL WIZARD
which automatically locates any trouble in any
starting and lighting system cm any car yours is
no exception. Bring it in if your electric system is
out of order. We won't tinker we won't waste
time.
Your bill will be small compared to the real serv
ice we will render you. We wil). make our test with
AMBU. It will tell us the trouble and we will
quickly repair it.
The result is guaranteed.
