Old timers will tell you that in the
early day, merchandise was trans-
ferred from shipping terminals,' by
use of wagons and teams. To be a
good teamster, one had to be on the
alert to take every advantage to pro-
tect Ills team.
Legend has It that there was a
teamster who .always stopped his
wagon on a sloping hill so that he
might Easily start the load, especial-
ly if heavy loaded.
To be certain for a safe FINAN-
CIAL START, it is; well to be care-
ful to secure dependable banking
connections.

YOUR MILEAGE MERCHANT ADVISES...
Try to have the two cars slightly “staggered”— •
not exactly in line with each other. This often
helps ff bumpers lock, especially when the car
with its bumper below can reach a drain or simt*
lar depression. Another way is for the car with
its bumper on top to get up on a curb or “hump.”
All of that is “just in case.’’
Now ask the poor fellow who wants your help
to get into HIGH. Tell him to keep his clutch"
p^dal down, letting it come back gradually
only after you get his car under way.
Do your pushing with your LOW gear. That’s
easiest on your car... for half a block. Then if the
other fellow’s car hasn’t started, have him get
into neutral and push him up to a nearby Mileage
Merchant for Special Winter Blend Conoco Bronze
like yours. That can’t help but get him started...
(the Mileage Merchant will know what to do if
the battery has entirely given up the ghost). And
then the Tightest way to dodge further battery
trouble, dangerous oil dilution and embarrass-
ment—is to make a point of getting sufe-starting
