Yes, there are... if "bar* gain" means "good bur** to you. Mark IV has the quality that has made it tne nation's top selling custom installed auto air eonditioner. As to cost, Mark IV beats car factory installations by far... costs less to buy and transfers to your next car -- you're not out the cost when you trade. What's more, unlike factory installations, Mark IV's cooling coils are in* side the car cooling you. They don't waste cooling capacity fighting engine heat under the hood.

As to reliability, Mark IV is manufactured by a AAA-1 rated company.., with over 8,000 factorytrained servicemen, nationwide, backing up a 12- month or 12,000-mile warranty. Come in for a demonstration ride this week. Find out why Mark IV quality is the best "bargain" in auto air conditioners. A-OK .AUTO ELECTRIC 913 N.

Duke's tips made all of us more aware of the condi-, tions the drivers and mechanics face on race-day and made the film all the more enjoyable.

Every - time I come home in the evening and see that mess in the yard which had been thrown out of the house during the day I feel like turning around and going to Bermuda or some other equally painless place. Everyone says it will be better soon and I sure hope so.
