NUTS TO
WING NUTS!

these
are the bad guys
and
these are
the good guys!

"Lowering the boom" on the innocent looking wing nut, may seem trivial, but this knuckle-busting little 4c item is a real trouble maker, costing masonry saw users thousands of dollars every year! If you wonder why TARGET provides a Hex nut and Wrench with every masonry saw, here's the reason:
• Blades especially Diamond Blades -must fit the arbor snugly, and a hand-tightened wing nut just won't do the job.

Wrench-tightened Hex Nuts allow a fight, snug fit, prevent pounding, slipping, and resulting blade damage.

We build TARGET Saws around this idea; Make the blade perform at its best. Protect it. Design every saw feature with profitable blade performance in mind. That's why the Hex Nut and Wrench.

FREE: it you're using a wing nut on your arbor, it could be the most expensive item on your saw! Drop us a card or letter and we'll be glad to send you Hex Nuts and Wrenches for all your masonry saws.

Accident Booklet
"The driver who breaks every rule of the road
May very well reap just about what he sowed."

This message is contained in The Travelers Insurance Companies annual highway accident booklet, which reports 52,500 deaths and 4,400,000 injuries last year. Statistics in the booklet were compiled from reports by state motor vehicle departments.

Excessive speed is blamed for more than 41 percent of the highway deaths in 1966. It is the largest single factor in all fatal accidents resulting from driver error.

Other major factors involving actions of drivers resulting in deaths and injuries include driving on the wrong side of the road, reckless driving and not having the right-of-way.

Drivers in 1966 were blamed for more than 80 percent of all fatal accidents while pedestrians, or a combination of pedestrian and driver, were found at fault in the remaining 20 percent.

To help prevent accidents, a Travelers spokesman suggests that drivers update driving skills by taking a driver refresher course; practice 'defensive driving', limit driving when tired; adjust speed to highway, weather, traffic and other conditions; and don't drive while under the influence of alcohol.

He also urged motorists to support better law enforcement, highway improvement, and improved driver licensing.
