What if lubrication suddenly failed? What if oil went on strike? Flour would not be milled, nor fleeces spun. The grindstone, the sewing-machine, the humble lawn mower—all would lose their life and usefulness. Public water supply and electric current would cease. Huge fly-wheels and dynamos would stop. Clocks would stop. If the evil power of friction had not been overcome, motor cars, trucks and aeroplanes could not have changed the whole life of America as they have changed it. Ordinary oil is not good enough for the modern motor. Use the scientifically correct oil. Use Polarine, the “Standard” oil for motor lubri- cation. It resists heat and pievents waste of power. And it costs you no more than nameless oils. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Jersey) Winy, oy NO DAKOTA ‘Washington North Pacific Coast e Pacific Northwest cAmerica’s Summer Playground!
