'BONDERIZING. NEW TREATMENT FOR 'RUSTPREVENTION. SI ill further increasing the value of its product, Iho lord Motor Company of Canada, Limited, is now treating against rust the wheels, fenders and other parts of the Ford car and truck which are most likely to ho scratched and marred. The process is known as Bonderizing. Tho exposed metal parts of tho Ford car arc made of rustless steel which will not rust or tarnfsh. Bondorizing is a process of treating steel to resist rusting. In the manufacture of tho Ford car, tho wheels, fenders, running board shields, front splash shields, engine hoods, lamp tie rods, rear light bracket, and miscellaneous nuts and bolts, arc treated with Bonderite before they are enamelled or painted. In addition, tho running boards on tho commercial cars and trucks and tho windshield frames and side arms on the open models are similarly treated. No matter what kind of a finish is given a motor-cai, there is always the possibility of tho enamel being scratched. Wheels, fenders and other parts of the car are often damaged thus whilo the car is being parked. When tho surface is scratched and tho bare metal exposed rust sets in almost immediately. Not only does this corrode tho metal itself, but th»> rust growth acts as a wedge which creeps under tho adjacent enamel surface and causes it to peel cff. When this occurs tho car soon takes on a tihabby appearance. Tho Bonderizing treatment prevents this. Even if the enamel should be scratched to such an extent ; as to expose the bare metal, the treatment will prevent rust.—Advt.
