\s ' » * Test of quality is the product's guarantee SECTION 2 - PAGE 13 - PLAINDEALKK WEDNESDAY, MAY Z, IWT By Charlie Watters A good test of quality in a product is how long the manufacturer will guarantee its use. Whether a manufacturer can assue you of his product's reliability will likely be the deciding factor in determining where you buy. Warranties are just one aspect of the competition which exists between makers and sellers of goods and services in this country. The better the M guarantee of workmanship and quality, the more apt you are to buy that manufacturers product. The guarantee or warranty is included as part of the price you pay fo the item. Extended service warranties on ap­ pliances and automobiles can usually be purchased at the same time for more money. This extension simply covers service and parts for a longer period of time than the original warranty. But you pay extra for this luxury. Product warranties may be either full, partial or limited. FULL WARRANTY - Full warranties cover free repair or replacement, if necessary, of a defective product. Full warranties also include what has come to be known as the "lemon clause." If the product is a "lemon" and can't be fixed after several reasonable efforts on the part of the manufacturer orA the company servicing the product, you are guaranteed replacement with a new product or your money back. A fult^warranty doesn't necessarily, cover the full product. It may guarantee just certain parts from defects and cover everything else with a limited warranty. Read the warranty carefully before you purchase the product. LIMITED WARRANTY -- Understanding thedifference between a full or limited warranty cans save you a lot of disappointment later on. By its very name, a limited warranty puts boundaries on the extent the seller or manufacturer will cover a product. The warranty may include only certain parts to be free from defects and Marriage Encounter to help Defenders on recycling day The McHenry County Defenders hold recycling drives in McHenry every first and third n Saturday of the month. The next one will be held Saturday May 5, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Mchenry Community High School West Campus, 4724 W. Crystal Lake Rd. Co-sponsoring the drive this week will be the Marriage Encounter Com­ munity of McHenry. According to a spokesman, Marriage Encounter Com­ munity is an international organization for good marriages - not problem marriages. It is church-affiliated but is non- denominational. The com­ munity leaders for the McHenry group are Tom and* T«fyr Wildhelm. They hope to use the funds they raise to rent a bus to go to a convention to be held at the University of Illinois, Chicago Campus. / . The groups urge area residents to bring any of the following items to the drive: newspaper with no junk mail or magazines included, brown paper bags and cardboard tied in easy to handle bundles, '"tin" cans that have been washed and flattened, glass containers with all metal and plastic removed, used motor oil, and aluminum scrap of all kinds. Persons bringing 100 percent aluminum cans to the drive will receive 33 cents per pound if the cans are crushed; 31 cents per pound, if uncrushed. A penny per pound bonus is paid for lots of 100 pounds or more. On Thursday, May 3, recyclers will also receive money for all-aluminum cans and glass containers. The location for the pay-back program is on Borden Street, behind McHenry FS (4004 W. Elm St.) and is open from 9 a.m. to noon. For further information about how a group can participate in a future drive, contact a Defender representative at 385-8512.

Rather than being serviced at your home, the product may have to be brought to or shipped to a certain location. < Often a limited warranty makes the buyer responsible for any shipping or labor charges needed to restore the product to full service again. If repair of the item is impossible you will likely be entitled to only a refund based on how long you've owned the product. Those are just a few of the reasons why it's necessary to carefully read the warranty offer when making a purchase. If you are unclear about a phrase of the limits of the Warranty ask for an ex* planation. i • . . --- IMPLIED WARRANTY - Implied warranties cover either new or used products but can be Prom Flowers for your very special Prom Night! Call or come in. Corsages & Boutonnieres -the Vump Hou.se restricted to a certain period of time. As an example: if you1 buy a used car, the dealer implies that this car will run but he may limit the time in writing for how long he will guarantee this. He can limit the care for 30 days or as soon as you drftfe it off the lot. If a product is sold "as is" and you fully understand the con­ dition the product is in - whether it works or not - no implied warranty exists. In other words, there is no guarantee by the seller that the product will perform better at any time in the future. In essence, you have no guarantee to faU back pn if the product proves defective. When you make a purchase, keep the sales receipt and warranty card filed away where you can easily find it. The warranty card will tell you how to begin the process of having warranty work done.

Garden Tractor with other leading brands. (Unless a phone is only a reach away, keep reading. The following are a few of the reasons wffy we feel a Simplicity is a better buy.) The Cut. v- Strictly a matter of personal taste? Not really. Our reputation for the industry's best cut is no accident. Our deck is mounted on the front axle, not the frame, and it floats up and down on full- width rollers at the rear for a more even cut, mini­ mizing the possibility of scalping. A deep housing creates maximum uplift. And grass disper­ sion is excellent (fewer of those clumps we call "windrows"). Deere doesn't have this combination of features, nor does Sears. The Engine. A twin-cylinder, industrial/commercial Briggs & Stratton. With cast iron liners, oversized muffler, and Stellite* valves and seats, you can look forward to many seasons of comfort­ able, quiet rides. % John Deere's engine has a single cylinder. Sealed Beam Headlights. An important safety/ convenience feature when snowthrowing early in the morning, or mowing at dusk. Sears and Deere don't use sealed beam headlights. A Tighter Turning Radius. A compact 24" for trimming around trees, fences and flower beds. Gear and pinion steering assures light, precise handling. ControlledTraction Different* 3 Reduces traction loss due to wheel spin. No one else has it. Another important feature: a heavy-duty cast iron transaxle, with full ground engaging capability. Designed and built by Simplicity. Variable speed drive, standard. Braking/Clutching. All in one step. Single foot action declutches, then brakes. Gives quick, convenient response. Front and Rear PTO. A Simplicity exclusive: a built-in rear power take-off shaft. No special drive kit is needed to hook-up the tiller. Front, center and rear attach­ ments can be changed in minutes with our Quick Hitch* "pins 'n clips" system. The Hood and Grille. AH steel. Deere's hood is fiberglass. Sears, plastic. The Seat. Hi-backed and deep- cushioned, with uiyque adjustable spring suspension for a more comfortable ride. Seat adjustable fore and aft. Springs easily adjust to driver's weight for maximum comfort. Sears and Deere don't have this combina- of features. Starting Indicator Lights. Another Simplicity ex­ clusive. Two dash-mounted indicator lights let you know controls are in proper position, ready to start. Wide Turf-Tread Tires. Wider tires have a bigger "footprint" to distrib­ ute vehicle weight. Optional agricultural tires provide better traction for tilling, plowing and grading. V Super/ Traae-In/ Days' All models are taken in trade, regardless of £ * 1984 Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc.
