We decided on Conoco because you can get it wherever you go in the Mountain States, but I had no idea how it saves money until the gasoline bills for the first month came in. My boss was so pleased he gave me a twenty- dollar raise. “It isn’t only the saving, the car runs better on Conoco. There is never any delay or trouble in starting—no choking or sput- tering. It picks up so well you can go into high in a dozen feet. With Conoco you can throttle do./n in traffic slower than you can with any other gasoline I know about, and Conoco surely does deliver the power to take you over stiff grades and long mountain irips. I am buying Conoco for our car, all the time, from now on.” Conoco contains the low-boiling fractions needed for satisfactory starting; the high-boiling fractions required for good mileage; and sufficient medium- boiling fractions to form a uniform, unbroken power chain. That is why Conoco is termed the balanced gasoline. The remarkable satisfaction it gives is not surprising when one remembera the care devoted to refining and dis- tributing Conoco gasoline. Experts favor Conoco for what it is—chauffeurs and all others who use Conoco like it for what it does. THE CONTINENTAL OIL COMPANY com; line of high-grade ileum acheten gs core ee See ante o .

A method of restoring a ‘front axle which has been bent is to take two lengths of 4x4-Inch joist just long enough to reach from the upper side of the axle outside each spring plate to a cross timber of the ceil- ing or roof of the garage. Then if a jack is placed beneath the axle at the bend enough pressure may be applied by means of it to force the axle back into shape.

A. Burke, president and general manager of the Peerless Motor Car company. “Of course, the ‘V’ type motor has obvious engineering advantages,"* says Mr. Burke. “That is why we use it in the Peerless Eight. With four cylinders in each block we are able to get more uniform gas and ofl feed with a subsequent increased smoothness and dependability, and in addition we secure more effective cooling of the motor. “But the “V’ type motor possesses another very real advantage which the layman often fails to consider.
