A SPRING TALK TO THE CRITICAL AUTOlST OilciT automobile springs never squeak, seldom break, and always make the car ride easier. They smooth the rough spots out of the road. They save the car becaiitte they stop the damaging, smashing jolts. For the same reason they savO tires. Rust ruins springs. it is the ciuse of nearly all spring trou bles. The reason is simple. It is sur prising that all car owners do not know it. Tlte leaves of pour springs beat- one upon another. The slightest unevenness in the road compress es them. As the springs compress the leaves must bend. This bending Cause friction—i produces a bearing that needs oi as much as any other bearing on vour car. The eonslission absorbed by springs is terrific. Now see how rust dogs their uc lion. A tiny bit of moisture be tween the leaves will start rust forming. One" started, it will continue to form until it binds the leaves to gettup- in one solid mass. Their resiliency is gone. They are stiff and unyielding. You feel every rough spot in the road. Car and tires are dam aged.
