You prob- ably have driven it many thousands of miles, day and night, under every imaginable condition of road and weather. ~ Yet, for all you know, there are no bearings in it anywhere. You never have seen them or heard them and they never have given any trouble. In the laboratories of our great factory at Newark, New Jersey, the largest exclusive roller bearing plant in the world, we have run Hyatt Bearings thousands of miles under every conceivable test. ‘Through these tests, they never have failed to give consistent, care- free service. ‘To supplement this engineering data, we wish to kiow how many miles your automobile has traveled in actual service upon its Hyatt Bearings.
