| North Stafford Motors advert Staffordshire Sentinel 13 December 1938 |
This advert that featured in the Staffordshire Sentinel 13 December 1938 was accompanied by the following article.
The motorist who takes a pride in his car and appreciates driving comfort will find a selection of gifts in the display at the well-equipped showrooms of North Stafford Motors, Ltd, of Broad Street, Hanley, that will add to the pleasure of motoring.
One of the novelties offered this year is the “screen defroster,” which accomplishes all that is promised by the name of this useful gift. The gadget fits across the windscreen and consists of four wire elements, which, by the warmth radiated, prevents frost adhering to the windscreen. In this way one of the dangers of winter driving is removed.
Another accessory which is almost indispensable is a car heater, of which many varieties are to be found in the display. One of the most economical fittings of this type has a small motor, which uses
the water from the cooling system and radiates heat round the car.
In the same class is the heating lamp made for fitting under the sump, keeping the oil at an even temperature, This fitting can be obtained in various sizes, and the length of use is ftom 150 to 200
hours.
Included in the list are the new “ Dunlopillos,” for use in cars in which the upholstery is showing signs of wear. These useful gifts are moderate in price, and add to driving comfort.
