No wonder the maker who built it tells you to change oil frequently. Other moving parts in your car are subject to a proportionate amount of friction—and need the same periodic, thorough lubrication. Our new Weaverized Lubrication Service makes sure that your car gets the* I job it needs. It’s thorough and it’s I prompt and it costs no more than the I ordinary kind. And it heads off big | repair bills later. A Match five minutes of your time | against ours. Drive in today and let I us show you. RIVERSIDE GARAGE East Monroe st. Phone 741. t
