It has been & season of “weather” in all parts of the country, ‘but while the frost was on the prunes in California and New York was gasping for breath and Texas was shoveling snow, ‘Minnesota was maintaining the even tenor (a little bass to be sure at times) of her ways, enjoying practically normal conditions, Having passed through the winter months, we begin to experience the annual thrill which comes with the breaking of the bonds ot J.

The refining of gasoline and the manufacture of lubricating oils each require special treatment. Motor lubricants are made from specially selected crude and the portions of such crude best adapted for high quality.motor oils_are during the first operations of refining. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud-of its achievements; proud of its enviable a manufacturer of gasoline, and: equally: proud of its record as a'manufacturer of Jubricants for all types and classes of machinery. - - ... During 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the perfect:motor oil, weré manufactured and sold. This enormous gallonage went to the'consumer with the unqualified guarantee of ‘the Oil Company (Indiana) that no better lubricant for an internal combustion engine could be ;made. Lubricating oil is the most vital factor in-con- serving your car investment. * In making definite recommendations for lubricating yourcarthis Com- pany realizes the importance to you, and to itself, of knowing exactly what each machine:requires. The responsibility of the Standard Oil Company, (Indiana) is empl when you consider that in the territory served there are more than 3 mil- lion automotive vehicles under registration. These machines represent a total investment of more than 2 billion dollars.
