38 WILMETTE LIFE January 25, 1929 Your Brakes Should ·Btl' Adjusted Every 2,000 Miles. Plate B~ Information for Motor Tourists Condition of roads· in Illinois and nearby states as reported by the Chicago Motor club follows: ILLINOIS Roads in the vicinity of Chicago are all open and while some snow has fallen this has all been cleared away.

All roads through northern and central Indiana are covered with ice but are open. US-27-The 3-mile "detour" reported between Decatur and Ft. Wayne is not ~ detour but is an unpaved gap which will be paved next spring. Ind.-44-The new bridge near Connersville is open and the 6-mile detour is removed. WISCONSIN Milwaukee-Snow has seriously affected conditions to the north. Roads sure exerted on each wheel-just another advance in brake service for the benefit of car owners.

They may not need adjusting but with accurate knowledge of the condition of his brakes he can intelligently meet traffic as he finds it. Do not neglect your brakes. Your life, your passengers' lives, the child in the street and your property are all at the mercy ..of your brakes. in general south of Milwaukee and west as far as Monroe are open.

"Service" Covers Broad · Field at Moton Service SpeCializing in day and night servic.e, Motors Service, I~c., of 721 Mam street, Wilmette, has found success. Both A. S. VanDeusen and J. C. Slown, joint proprieto~s in the ?rganization make the pomt that servtce means mo~e than the wo'd wight seem to imply and emphasize that. every effort is made to give the servtce required and give !t without delay. . To accomplish all thts, of cours~, r~qutres equipment and Motors Servtce ts . well equipped. Between the hours of 8 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock in the evening mechanics are at hand to take care of any major repair work, such as frame welding, bearing tightening, installation of new pistons or rings or other such work, as well as the lighter mechanical adjustments. From 6 o'clock until nearly midnight any light mechanical work of servicing, includ~ ing battery work, ignition. wor:k, tires, lights, fan belts and the ltk~, ts taken care of with speed and effictency . During the remainder of the night, or from 11 o'clock until 8 o'clock in the morning, service may be obtained on tires, washing, greasing, gasoline or oils or two-car service, which of course may also be had at any other time of the day or night.. Ferd Plate Authorities state that 85 per cent of brakes . are defective, meaning that they are in need of proper adjustment or relining. M a n u f acfurers have vied with each other i n · recent years, not only ;n more powerful engines but also in brakes t h a t will stop a car within a reasonable distance. However, no amount of excellence o r i g i nally built into brakes will compensate for (Ray) their neglect by car Ferd Plate owners. The increased traffic demands have called for greater braking power and the improvement is brakc:s both of t~e mechanical and hydrauhc types w1p care for these increased demands tf properly and regularly serviced. Modern four-wheel brakes are much more complicated; the adjustments are closer and more sensitive. In place of former times when anyone . with ~ wrench and a pair of pliers "pulled down the brakes" special tools and equipment are required to really adjust or equalize brakes for their _utmost efficiency-and furthermore th1s call:; for expert knowledge by a specialist who is making brakes in all their forms a most serious study. Hence the brake service station with the factory-trained experts. Correct brake linings arc essentialhere again the best is the cheapest. Testing machines have greatly facilitated speed and accuracy in brake adjustments. Dials show the exact pres- New Pierce-Arrow Eights Best in Company's History Pierce-Arrow's new Straight Eights. .to be seen at the auto show are unequalled in automobile history, according to James T. Barber, of Evanston, north shore dealer. Orders for January delivery aggregating $3,000,000 have been placed bv Pierce-Arrow's distributors and dee:llers, and an estimate of doubled production in 1929 is considered conserv;ttive. "Pierce-Arrow could not have en·· tered the eight-cylinder, fine-car field at a more opportune moment," said Mr. Barker. "The time ·was ripe for a departure from the 'dowager' school of design which has prevailed for years in the field of larger cars; likewise for a ca.r of infinitely better performance. Pierce-Arrow has two groups of eight-cylinder cars which meet these requirements so abundantly that they literally have struck the high note of interest in the fine-car field today." Add Speedometer Servicing to Abel Battery Busit:tess Specializing in electrical work has given the Abel Battery and Ignition Service of 716 Elm street, Winnetka, plenty to do but U. C. Abel states that hi s organization has just added equip ment by which speedometers are sen·· iced. All types of electrical work arc done efficiently and during the recent cold spell Mr. Abel found battery troubles sufficient to keep a big staff of workers busy.
