fmti of the winrrnn.est causes of overheating: is due to a shT'pins fan belt. It is absolutely necessary for the fan to cause fcuffiiiient air draft to cool the water a.s it flows through the radiator. A slipping belt reduces the fan sii-l and thus, nit.j down the draft. The belt should be taut hut no tiKht. T;ffht belts usually wear fa-st ,-und break, and they also wear the pulley bearings.

'The Skelton Car is as good as it looks BECAUSE No detail of its mechanical make-up has been slighted or compromised to meet a predetermined price. Through simplicity in design, the use of the iine.t grade units has been made possible in a car of moderate costs. The motor, the starting and lighting system, the full-floating rear axle and large steering wheel are typical of the elements that go to make up a Skelttm car. The Skelton is rugged and proves in service that it is basically sound, truly good and trustworthy throughout."
"NOW TO GRANT BEAUTY SIX ADMIRERS, I MAY SAY THAT Grant Six owners are unusually keen about the STYLE of the Grant Six. It is spoken of everywhere as an exceptionally smart model. Many have gone so far as to proclaim it the world's handsomest light six. This opinion is widespread. Wliether it is the handsomest light six or not will always remain a matter of opinion. But no one disputes the fact that all four Grant body styles are amazingly smart. That this beauty is emphasized by the mechanical quality of the car is of highest importance. We are glad the Grant Six is fine looking, but we are prouder of its performance, comfort and dependability than we are of its beautv."

"AND IN CONCLUSION I WANT TO MENTION THAT The automatically controlled radiator shutters are an exclusive feature of the Columbia Six. They are opened or closed automatically by a thermostat placed inside of the hood. Thus the amount of air rushing in around the motor is regulated, keeping the motor temperature practically constant about 180 degrees winter and summer. Think of being able to operate your car all winter long at summer efficiency no hood covers, no hard starting, slow warming up, or increased gasoline consumption."
