GASOLINE-REPAIRING EPPS’ GARAGE 392 Washington Street Telephone 497 SOME GOOD ADVICE TO MOTORISTS • —rtv KEEP YOUR CAR PROPERLY OILED ANI1 CREASED (By Joe Means.« « There is no car made that will run without proper lubrication and failure to give due attention to this one point of an automobile causes lots of trou ble to owners. All the grease cups, oil chambers—in fact every place that requires oil and grease-should be watched carefully. The gauge shows when the gaa la low but it takes ' closer observation to idetect the need of greases and oila. A well lubricated cor will give you the best service and owners who care properly for their car look to this point, YOUR CAR MUST BE CARED ' FOR AS.HUMA.V BEIMiS (By W. H. Chafin.) I have had occasion to observe prac tically .very make of automobiles and making the auto a study I have no ticed many things that if owners would take notice of they would have less trouble with thtHr cars. Too many of them are’ satisfied just so long al their machine''ta running, de spite the fact that it may heed greas ing or is wearing abnornmlly at some friction point. An automobile is al most human and. has got to come in for some consideration from its care taker. Its upkeep is not expensive if care ia given at the proper time. KNOW YOUR CAR BUT DON’T ’TINKER" WITH IT (By Roy Eppe.) Know your automobile but don't “tinker” with it. Lota of damage is done cars by someone trying to "fix” them when they haven't the slightest idea what the trouble is. If you know your car you can readily see whether you can help yourself out of trouble or not. If you can't you won’t try and will send for someone who can. The automobile is our business; it's our tnechanics’ business and alwaya glad to give any information deiired to owners or prospective own ers about the care and management s»f* a car. YOUR CAR IS AN EARNING INVESTMENT (By Joe Downs.) If you are to enjoy the full benefit of your automobile you must have it equipped as it should be and then give it every care. When you put $500 or $1500 in un investment you watch it; The earnings from your automobile investment come in time saved and the actual enjoyment you and your family and friends get out of the car; it’s a great health pre server and is worth taking care of.. Get a good car, when you jmy acces sories and repairs know what you are getting there also. MAKE YOUR CAR LAST A LIFETIME (By Ben Epps.) The average »South«m man who owns an automobile fails to give it the attention he should; according to my observation in dealing with own ers from every section of the coun try. The intensive New Englander cares for it as he does his wfftch and therefore not only geta maximum service but his car lasta practically a lifetime. If the average automobile, with our roads and care in driving, was cared for as it shpuld be, the bolts and all parts kept tight, prop erly oiled and looked after, it would run and give satisfactory service for a long time. An auto needs care from the day it’s run out of the dealers show rooms. ROY EPPS’ GARAGE Ea«t Clayton Street Phone 1597 For quick auto repairing call us. We get you back on the road in a hurry.
