a person thoroughly analyzes the motor car he cannot help but rec ognizo thecombined safety enjoy ment and eoonomy in the brakes alone Manufacturers have devoted years of painstaking study to increasing the factor of eafety in construction of cars and in bringing the brake action to higher standards of sureness of action yet motorists aro somewhat neglectful in seeing that this particular unit on their cars are maintained in first class condition There is nn reason for taking even the elightemt chance with had brakes knowing full well the possibility of such serious consequences Good brakes depend first on good brake lining: second on proper adjustment Here is how to properly adjust your brakes: -lack up the rear end of your car then tighten the brake band on one nide Next apply the emergency brake a little turn the wheel you tightened enough to get an Idea how tight the other should be then tighten the brake band on the other wheel until it turns over as hard-as the first one When brakes are adjusitell evenly it goes a long way toward prevent1ng skidding upon application of brakes': even resistance is applied to both brakes 1 7 I in I the The in oirra tra 1 1111 'rho
