Just as your automobile
needs professional

nance from time to time, so does your Craftsman engine. Replace-

is made necessary
by
NORMAL use. Professional Air-Cooled Engine Service is as close as
your nearest Sears Roebuck and Co. (or Sears Canada, Inc.) Service
Center.
A yearly check-up
or tune-up
by Sears is a good idea to avoid
breakdowns
or delay..,
do it at the end of the season, then you're
ready for the next. We even prepare it for storage for you.
