C. Gilli?, Firestone dealer, He gives here suggestions from his experience with thousands of motorists. He takes up the matter of safe tires first, advising that tire prices are bound to go up and now is the time to save money. "It will come as news to many motorists that an old or worn tire is less safe now than at the height of winter; from now op tires will run hotter, and heat is their greatest enemy," he said. "Blowouts "will be more common." The axiom that any car is only as safe as its tires is one that motorists should keep in rtiind, Mr. Gillis asserts. Unlike hrakee and headlights, there are no legal specifications as to what is a safe tire. There is, however, a common-sense definition-^ tire with the non-?kid tread worn off or n tire worn down to the ftibric is unsafe. "Such tires should be replaced for safety of yourself and other motorists if for no other reason," he said. "But actually it will cost you less money to replace worn tires*- than wait until they are punctured or go fiat. The last 1000 miles in the average tire is worth only cents, based on today's prices and mileages. New Firestone tires have extra values at no extra cost, and they will improve the appearance and handling of \oui car. give added safety and cost you less in the long run. "The brake lining on thousands of cars is now worn to a wafer-like thinness. It is past the normal expectancy. The brake drums are being damaged. It will amaze you to find how much safer your car feels with new lining, such as that recently announced bv Firestone?that is iml^rrvious to moisture, is a new revelation in 'soft-pedal' control, and sets new standards of long wear. "The battery has been under a strain in cold weather, and by spring is probably in a weaker condition. Its charging rate should be checked and the generator adjusted for summer driving. At the Firestone Battery Factories?-which are considered the most efficient in the world?observation of batteries in test cars prove that battery testing extends the life and service of the 'batteries. "The worn windshield wiper should be replaced. Lights should be inspected. '"'Radiator hose and fan belt should be inspected and the radiator flushed and foreyfgn matter removed with a dependable compound, such as Firestone Radiator Cleaner. "If your spark plugs are worn? thus wasting a gallon of gas in every ten?it will pay you to give them attention. In replacing plugs that have gone 10,000 miles, and putting in new Firestone Spark Plugs you will see a vast improvemenyin performance of your car."
