L. Hedges, manager of echnical service for the Haynes utomobile company, Kokomo, Ind. a recent bulletin. Mr. Hedges' advice is applicable to ny car, and for that reason worthy the attention of every automobile er. He writes in part as follows: High Gloss Marred. The high gloss on a new car, in any instances, is lost in a short e because it is irreparably marred the first washings. he varnish on a new car requires nth as a minimum time in which operly set. In warm weather it often advisable, with a, newly pur- ased automobile, to shower the ody, hood and fenders with clear water. This will aid in harden- the varnish cbating and so re- the danger from scratching and sion. he life of the finish on any car s not depend on the polishing action that is giving in washing, but n quite the opposite. The body uld not be rubbed any more than is absolutely necessary. In case the s muddy, it is always well to re- e the foreign substance as soon ossible to avoid spotting. This 1d 'be done with clear running ter, first thoroughly soaking the "mud, and then washing it off. On ac- count of its scouring effect, water under pressure should never be used this purpose. : Use Clean Sponges. "Perhaps the greatest enemy a high body finish has is a sponge in ich sand or grit has collected. 'Even in the case of dust, it is bet- to remove this with slow running water. Dusters, which are employed many owners, seriously affect the abrasive. y the body surfaces have cleaned off by running ter, they should be gone over with new sponge, care being taken that the sponge is always moved in a straight line. Following this treat- ment, the finish is to be thoroughly insed and then dried with a chamois kin, which should be thoroughly yashed and wrung out during the drying process. This action, as well the sponging, should be carried t with a straight-line movement. 'In most cases, the running gear d lower parts of the fenders should be washed first, as they are the dirt- est parts of the car. If grease and oil are present, the under surfaces ould be soaked with a solution nade by dissolving soap in warm ter. The suds from this solution act on the finish and should be shed off immediately. Treatment | f this kind, however, should never | be employed on the body proper. | 'The hood of a motor car should ver be washed while it is warm, ce the rapid drying of thé water deadens the finish."

No--these improvements were evolved slowly and laboriously, of painstaking effort and patient thought. "They were brought into being to insure the reliability of Goodyear Tires. ZH But we know also that the overwhelming bulk of Goodyear users buy it for reasons strictly practical in nature. 2% But these improvements alone could not enforce the full reliability of Goodyear Tires--they must be sup- ported by the highest quality of materials and workman- ship, and by a system of inspection guaranteeing both of these. ~ The primary virtue of a tire in their view is a capacity for reliable and economical service. 75% And because Goodyear Tires embody this virtue in a surpassing degree, they prefer them as their equipment. 2% They are so supported--and every Goodyear Tire given into the hands of a customer has had the benefit of these improvements and of this inspection. Undoubtedly the cause of Goodyear Tires being more than ordinarily reliable is the manner in which they are built. : Ask the Goodyear Service Station Dealer near you what he does to support this goodness built in Goodyear Tires, after the tires have been put in actual use. Their construction represents the sum of all tire- making knowledge, as we have learned it. The processes of their construction long ago passed the stage of experiment. Today they are as exact and definite as mathematics. He will be glad to tell you what he does, and what Goodyear Tires, Goodyear Tubes and Goodyear Tire- Saver Kits do, to help realize what you and every other sensible motorist seeks and desires--reliable and eco- nomical tire service. Not by accident or luck did the Goodyear laboratories develop the tire-making machine, the No-Hook bead, the All-Weather tread, the Braided Piano-Wire base, and like Goodyear features.
