Some Do's and Don'ts for Automobilists 



Economy is in the air these days. To automobilists 

 this means saving fires, gasoline, oil, and everything else

Don't keep your 

 engine racing 

 and banging 

 away when you 

 are waiting for 

 traffic to move 



Don't adjust 

 non-skid chains 

 so loose that 

 they fall off, nor 

 so tight that they 

 won't take hold 



Don't use chains 

 on dry days to 

 tear up the road- 

 way; the Roads 

 Committee will 

 attend to all that 



Inspect oil level 

 in engine, 

 amount of water 

 in radiator, and 

 tire pressure 

 every time out 



Don't wait un- 

 til small cuts in 

 your tires be- 

 come gaping 

 rents, have 'em 

 fixed before that 



See that 

 brakes and 

 brake linings 

 are all in or- 

 der. You may 

 need them in 

 a hurry on 

 some fine day 



Don't over-lubricate your en- 

 gine and drive with the cut-out 

 open. It's noisy and smelly 



Don't engage 

 your clutch 

 sharply, apply 

 your brake 

 harshly , or round 

 comers too fast 



See that your 

 tires are giving 

 you service. 

 Keep records of 

 them and com- 

 pare with others 



Drive with spark 

 advanced as far 

 as possible with- 

 out causing your 

 engine to labor, 

 knock, or miss 



Study your car. 

 Learn all its ins 

 and outs and 

 how to make mi- 

 nor repairs. You 

 will save money 



Don't wash your 

 car with gaso- 

 line. The meth- 

 od is wasteful, 

 very dangerous, 

 and very foolish 



Don't pull 

 your engine 

 to pieces for 

 the mere joy 

 of the thing. 

 It 'snot a clock 

 and you're 

 grown up now 



It's cheaper to cover the radiator 

 or to use non-freezing mixture 

 than it is to leave engine running
