FOR ECONOMY AND SERVICE
In buying a car see that you get all that your
money calls for. If you are not a judge of
mechanical construction, find out from owners
what service their cars afford. Satisfy your-
self that the car you decide upon is fully equip-
ped at the start. Above all make sure that the
motor and other vital parts of its construction
are such as to insure you dependable, econom-
ical and lasting service in return for your in-
vestment.
