THINGS NEEDING ATTENTION

' , AVTTH A NEW CAK White car j elaborate fashion with the .fcarebf th? . chassis, it Is indeed rare to And that the body is mentioned. In other words it is taken for granted that no ' attention ig required, but here are a few valuable hints extracted from.#’ folder by the, Koyal Body Corporation which rwlii.: show.i thht' should- have its fair share of attention: ' ■! > Underneath every window which is constructed to rise and fall drainage I must be provided to allow any water to run*o£f. This is arranged by means ■ of holes at the bottom of the doors / and quarters. These . holes should be kept cieahi • vv’ • The mechanism' of f sJiding seats should be kept clean but dry; oil or grease only collect dirt. ■ In the case of a-landaulet or other type of body with a folding hood of ' enamelled leather,-, lire latter' should : have an application of heat’s-foot oil: wherever the folds of leather come to- , gether a film of oil is necessary. After a new car has' been in use for 500 miles—-a period which allows for slight.settling—all the holding-down' bolts, six or eight in number,; should be tightened. All joints in folding hbod mechanism should be lubricated every three months. Leather upholstery should be washed with lukewarm water and soap. Only curd soap should be used. Afterwards' apply - olive oil sparingly to keep supple, removing any excess with a soft dry cloth.
