Every Dog Has Its Day
Although summer'!. Dog Days, traditionally the hottest
days of the year, are thought to end on August 11,
dalmatians are m the "hot seat” all year long In the
1800 s, when fire equipment was horse-drawn, each
firehouse had dogs to help direct the horses and to alert
pedestrians and vehicles that the fire wagon was coming
Dalmatians were favored for this
J°b because of their size, fnendh
s/ t*i// ' ness, health, and stamina —plus,
they got along well with the horses
>■/ "jTI I With the advent of gasoline-powered
JV M fire engines, the dalmatians weren’t
WM'A. really needed any longer, but they
became a kid-friendly symbol of the honorable profes
sion of fire fighting Today, dalmatians are common
companions to firefighters
The reason a dog has so many friends is
that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
■ar To help repel fleas on your pets, add brewer’s yeast to
pet food.

Tour power is OFF...
and your generator DIDN’T start,
Nov your 40,000 Birds or
2,000 Pigs are DEAD.
Top 5 reasons why your generator may overheat and fall this summer...
• Low Coolant level - engine will not cool properly if coolant is below the core.
• Dirty radiator fins - must be free of dirt, dust, feathers, paper, or debris.
• Sufficient air intake - motorized shutters are strongly recommended.
• Improper coolant mix - 50/50 antifreeze and water will ensure max cooling from coolant.
• Faulty exhaust shutters - must open freely with no flow obstructions.
Here are the 5 things we’ll do to help you prevent this disaster...
• We’ll perform our ‘‘Generator Readiness Evaluation” worth $175 for FREE.*
• We’ll detect your potential problems quickly with our trained technician team.
• We’ll dispatch our technician with a service van stocked with the most popular service parts
• We’ll recommend a ‘‘Preventative Maintenance Program” that best suits your needs.
• We’ll respond to emergencies you have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
