Motor Troubles
Quickly Found
By Grindle Co.
One Q/ the marvels of the United
Motors Service offered by the Grin
dle Sales company of Harlingen is
the uncanny and unerring way in
which it diagnoses motor troubles1
in automobiles. Better still it de
tects breakdowns and deterioration
before they develop into serious
trouble for the automobile owner.
Hundreds of motorists have al
ready taken advantage of the motor
testing service nis tailed several
months ago by the Harlingen firm.
It is not limited to motor troubles
but detects worn parts in the igni
tion system and other parts of the
elecrical system as well.
Although a motor may appear to
be running smoothly, there always
are certain parts more worn than
others and it is more economical
to replace them before a breakdown
occurs because a breakdown may
prove expensive and may come
when the owner cannot well spare
the time to have his car in the
garage for a repair job.
Motor efficiency is measured by
the new machine much in the same
way that a doctor diagnoses human
ills. Efficiency of spark plugs,
coils, spark gaps, piston rings and
many other vital parts is measured
by means of senstive instruments.
L. G. Grindle. manager of the
firm, urges that motorists have
their automobiles tested with the
United Motors Service which has
already saved thousands of dollars
to Valley motorists by anticipating
breakdowns and enabling auto own
ers to take due precautions before
expensive repair bills are Incurred.
The Grindle Sales Co. had a
small beginning but has grown
rapidly until it supplies many Val
ley garages and shops with various
kinds of equipment and accessories.
#.!^ng other things, the Grindle
Sales Co., is distributor for the
famous Pennzoil lubricants. Delco
Light plants, Hydro gas plants and
many other articles*
It costs the government between
$11,000 and $12,000 to educate and
send a student through Annapolis
Academy, and between $19,000 and
$20,000 to graduate a cadet from
West Point.

Miller Stocks
Lawnmower And
Bicycle Parts
Although there are nearly 50.dif
ferent designs of lawn ipowers and
about the same number of types of
bicycles in the Valley, Miller’s shop
at 211 South Commerce street in
Harlingen endeavors to keep parts
on hand for all makes.
It is of great importance, however,
if worn or broken parts to be re
placed are brought to the shop,
Mr. Miller said since this saves con
siderable time to all concerned.
Mr. Miller not only services lawn
mowers and bicycles sold by local
stores in the Valley, but also those
sold by mail order concerns.
Old machines are taken in trade
on new ones, ' and as a matter of
fact a greater allowance is made on
trade-ins than when machines are i
bought for cash.
The Harlingen shop handles Swinn
Custom Built Bicycles and Oille &
McGuire's lawnmowers. A feature
of the lawnmower handled by Mr.
Miller is the thumbscrew* adjust
ment which makes it easier to ad
just the blades to the job. The rigid
construction and the adjustment
feature take care of uneven, rutty
lawns.
Anyone desiring to purchase a
lawnmower is invited to consult Mr.
Miller because the type of yard,
grass and soil should be consider
ed when buying such a machine. He
advises that no mowers wider than
16 inches should be purchased be
cause larger machines used on tough
grass require too much effort to
push them. As a matter of fart, 20
inch machines are often motor dri
ven
The Harlingen man in speaking of
bicycle racing and similar events
:«id that he does not sponsor them
because he does not wish to incul
cate recklessness among drivers.
Bicycles which are well taken care
of will last time but rough usage re.
suits in repair bills.
A key shop is conducted in con
nection with the bicycle and lawn
mower departments.
