SPRING BOOTS.
There is no part of a car more exposed to the weather than the springs, and they are usually red with rust and plastered with mud, which gets between the leaves, destroys the effect of lubrication there provided and cause annoying squeaks. In order to retain full flexibility and to insure quietness of action, it has hitherto been considered necessary occasionally to jack up the car body, thus relaxing the springs, and then to apply grease between their leaves—a dirty and tiresome job.
