Conscientious Maintenance Can
Assure Motorist Vacation Trip
Without Breakdown
"Use it up, wear it out;
Make it do, or do without."
* * *
This bit of doggerel was popular in a more isimple, less
affluent yesterday. The trick was to make things last as long
as possible, whether it was an all -day sucker or a suit of
clothing.
It ,is ironic that today, when the philosophy seems to be,
"Use it up quickly and get another one," some products are
actually built to endure longer.
Take the modern car, for example.
There is -no question that today's automobile is built to last.

`Paints are more durable, bodies are . better prepared to
withstand deterioration.
Engines are better built to cope with punishment that was
undreamed of only 20 years ago.
In fact, every component has a lab -tested durability going
for it.
.s.
The secret of taking advantage of built-in strength lies in
_a conscientious program of `maintenance. By practicing such
a program, you stand to save in • several important ways.
First, you preserve your car's 'vital components from pre-
mature wear. A timely, squirt -of lubricant here,a quart of
oil there often can prolong engine and chassis life, avoiding
lengthy and expensive sessions in the service bay.
Periodic service also saves you money as, you go. Tune-ups
save gasoline mileage and cut short chances of engine dam-
age and road service calls. .Prtver wheel alignment and
balancing acid miles to tire life. • . '
Frequeni washing and waxing stop body and paint deterior-
ation. And when you do trade in the car, the money you spent
in maintenance also will be returned, at least iii part, by a
higher trade-in value.
Even if good car care weren't economically wise, you'd
still benefit measurably from its practice — especially at
this time of year. Nothing can ruin a'spring and summer
holiday trip like a breakdown which at best can cost you
time and money and at worst could lead to a serious
accident. •
Somehow the most scenic road you can travel becomes
a drab, miserable stretch of highway when your car has
quit running on it.

and last longer. And don't be surprised if more frequent' stops
for necessary maintenance .lead to more frequentstops to
your bank — to add to your savings, not take from them.
