The Lober Radiator is not an experiment. For two years Ford owners have been using this Radiator under all kinds of driving and weather conditions and with perfect success. Repeated freezing will not cause the Core to burst. MILES OF LOW-GEAR DRIVING UNDER A BOILING SUN WILL NOT OVERHEAT THE MOTOR. On truck and commercial cars which are used hard all day and everyday the "Lober" is the only Radiator that will stand up without constant repairing. All parts of this Radiator coming in contact with water are made of BRASS, and will not corrode and leak. The support brackets and side braces are made of steel to give strength.

Vibration is the curse of Ford Radiators. To stand the constant pounding and jars from driving on rough roads a Radiator must be made of best workmanship and materials. The very patented construction of the Lober Radiator insures long service. A radiator that will not cool the motor is a nuisance. The air passing through the "Lober" is whirled against the water tubes, giving perfect cooling under all conditions. If the water should freeze the tubes simply open up and are returned to position by the wide brass spring between each tube. The manufacturers guarantee every Lober Radiator and will replace any Radiator in which the Core bursts from freezing. Your dealer can supply you see him today.

Expert Repairing of All Hakes of Automobile, Truck and Tractor Radiators We do all kinds of radiator repairing. First class work and moderate prices. If your radiator is leaking drive in and let me look it over, We are also equipped to put in the patented Lober Non-Bursting Core in any make or stvle of Radiator. If vour water boxes are in good shape we can insert this non-treezmg Core at a nominal cost. With the Lober" Core you will have a better Radiator than when ncv.. Let us quote prices on this work.
