He produced pro-duced from the tool box two places of - i i i A Help to Autolsts. rope about ten feet long, two wooden stakes about 18 Inches long and a three-pound sledge. I wondered Just what was "coming off,' but I soon learned. He drove a stake behind each rear wheel where the ground was solid.
