The Shields-Livengood Motor com- pany, Liberty distributors, have furnished this data to The Star for the benefit of its readers. “The prime object to in mind is protection against cold and dampness, two factors which can do more injury to your car than 20,000 [miles of driving. | “The first and obvious thing to do is to look over your garage and see if it ts weather proof.
