EFFICIENT AUTO CLEANER
A CCESSORY shops are crowded with
all sorts of automobile cleaners,
polishers, dressings, and patent cleaning
cloths. But most of these are as powders
and cold creams to the face. There are
lots of times wdien nothing would be as
satisfying in the way of cleaning a car as
getting at it with a brush.
One of the best garage helps on the
A Good Help in Currying Your Tin Lizzie
market is a brush attached to a hose.
With the use of the brush, plenty of
water can be applied, but only where it
is needed. For washing the wheels, and
other inaccessible parts the brush is especially
valuable. This style brush can be
bought already attached to a hose or by
itself, with an attachment to be applied
to any hose.
A SAVING IN OIL
A LOT of money has been put into
devices for saving oil, and a lot
of literature has been put out on ways
of saving it, after it has been applied to
the automobile, but let us go back a little
This Holder Will Save Its Cost in Two Months
further into the garage, and figure how
much oil is wasted by spilling an awkward
can of oil around the garage, and
how dirty the garage looks afterward.
An oil can tipper and holder is only a
little thing, and very inexpensive, but
will give a great deal of satisfaction in
a practical way as well as an esthetic
way, to the man who likes to save on oil.

GLOVE FINGERS AS VALVE
CAPS
N English motorist tells us that he
A once used a finger from a worn out
glove to prevent the leaking of a valve
in one of his tires, when he was caught
out on the road without any extra cores.
The valve, he says, was leaking so badly
that it would exhaust the tire in less than
ten minutes. Necessity being the mother
of invention, this man
took an old glove
finger, and after packing
it with clay from
the roadside, tied it
securely around the
stem of the leaking
valve, which effectually
sealed the leak,
until he got home,
and for several days
thereafter.

Finger Will Stop the Leak
