Mr Philip Lewis, of Chancery Street, Auckland, whose business announcement appears in this issue, and who is known as “the expert radiator man,” comes from the famous Daimler works, Coventry, England. To really understand what Mr Lewis does to sick radiators, it is necessary to understand that the water circulates through small tubes, and the motorist who is tempted to mend a leak by mixing some patent cement or plaster of paris is defeating his own object. For this stuff blocscs the leak all right, but it stops the circulation too. Mr Lewis takes the leaky radiator and cuts the weak place right out. Then he grafts in a new piece, and the radiator is like new. And this process costs a mere tithe of the price of a new radiator, while it makes the old one as sound as a bell.
