Preparing Metal for-Painting.
Deoxidine is a chemical combination for preparing metal for painting which is sold by Brame() (1920), Ltd., St. Nicholas Street, Coventry. We understand that the ,preparation is largely used in Americfan bodybuilding shops, whilst it is also making considerable headway in this coun
try. In order to secure a perfect finishon metal, especially
steel, whether the finish be paint, enamel, japan or lacquer, it is necessary to prepare the metal for receiving the finish and it is in this direction that Deoxidine has undoubted merits. It removes all deleterious materials from the metal, thus producing the proper foundation on which to apply the finish.
For Biscuit-delivery Work.
One of the latest deliveries made by Halley Motors, Ltd., of Yoker, Glasgow, is shown in an accompanying illustration. It is a 4-ton van, which has been purchased by the United Co-operative Baking Society, Ltd., of Glasgow, and it is interesting to note that the body was built in the bodybuilding shops of the user. It is a good example of a large-capacity biscuit van and it has a very fine appearance. The chassis is the Halley type-P, sixcylinder, 40 h.p. model and it is equipped with 38-in. by 7-in, pneumatic tyres. The com pany runs quite a number of the Halley vehicles, some of which are used for delivering t b e concern's pro ducts to customers over long distances.
