A Deliclous Dressing for Asparagus 3 parts Hot Butter and 1 part LEA & PERRINS’ SAUCE Safely to Top of the World From the frozen Arctic comes the radio message of Lieut. Commander Byrd’s successful flight to the region of the North Pole. This marks another great achievement for flying for a Naval aviator and for a Mobiloil-lubricated airplane. Commander Byrd was expected to make a preliminary hop to Peary Land, there to establish a base for his further flights into the Arctic, but he startled the world by flying straight from Spitzbergen for the North Pole. Commander Byrd chose Gargoyle Mobiloil as the one oil supremely qualified to meet the unusual demands made upon the Wright engines of his Fokker plane. He knew correct lubrication would be, perhaps, the most important single factor in the reliable operation of the airplane’s motors. Facing great hazards in the ‘Arctic ice, fog and winds, he could take no chances on faulty lubrication. To the ordinary perils of flying over dangerous country must be added the biting Arctic cold which made engine operation, and especially lubrication, extremely difficult. Once again Gargoyle Mobiloil has played a vital part in a history-making venture. It was Gargoyle Mobiloil that lubricated the U. S. Army ’round-the-world flight in 1924, perhaps the most famous of all adventures of the air. flights Mobiloil has played its important part. This is not a special oil prepared for this test. In many other famous It 1s the same Gargoyle Mobiloil that is on sale by good dealers everywhere. Sixty years of specialization in lubrication have given Mobiloil the qualities that caused Commander Byrd to select it. These same high lubricating qualities recommend the use of Mobiloil in your automobile.
