Shop at Home GAS PUMP THOUGHTS By: Ed Guettler v Quite a discussion took place between a couple customers as they waited for lube jobs at GUETTL-ER'S CITIES SERVICE. They both were sure of their opinions; one arguing that the slow driver is to blame for all these accidents on the open road; and the other was sure that speed, was the culprit. They got at it pretty hot and heavy, and you can be sure that we rushed those jobs out. One thing they surely did decide though, was that the menace on the road is always the .other driver. But slow or fast, you'll agree that your car should be checked regularly for safety. We at GUETTLEJR'S CITIES SERVICE will tip you off about any danger signs.
