the

floor-boards.

All

door hinges

are

lubricated.The choke, throttle

easier manipulation,

as are

the brake, clutch

and

accelerator pedals.Mechanical points underneath

the car

and about the engine are double-checkedfor danger signs. Finally,

all

smartly dressed with

a

shiny coat

of

rub-ber dressing

and the

with

a

soft cloth.

Such extra-special service
