Auto Dealers Are
Active In Vita!
Home Front Work
Xheir Main Job Now Is To
“Keep ’Em Rolling” For
Duration Of The War
Automobiles are a vital pait oi
the nation’s transportation sys
tern and as such they mii.«l be
"kept rolling” for the duration o.r
the war:
-Automobiles are not bein.g ma 1
ufactured -now and the supply
when manufacture wes stoppc'’
must last for the duration of tio
war. .
Since it is so important to keep
motor vehicles in going condition
auto owners should patronize
.their garages regularly and should
"not neglect their cars and trucks.
In addition to doing the job of
“keeping ’em rolling”, local
automobile agencies are support
ing the war effort in many ways,
one of which is dealing in u.sed
cars and trucks and keeping ^
supply of good used vehicles for
those who must buy one.
The local automobile agencte-
and their management are as fol
