Milk Bottle Aid.
In Saving Tires;
Good Test, Try It!
You ,lcan make your tires last a
lot longer with a milk bottle or
drinking glass.
Just set the glass or bottle in
the floor of your car and drive so
that you don’t turn it over.
“This device has long been used as
a test of smooth driving,” State
Police Director Homer Garrison said
today. “The person who tries it' will
perhaps realize for the first time
just how smoothly a car can be
driven—and how much wear can be
saved on tires, brakes and clutches.
“But be careful,” Garrison warn-
ed, “not to get the bottle or glass
tangled up between your feet and
the clutch and brake pedals.”
