NEW YORK, - October 6.—There is a new item among major expenses of an American family today, as com- pared with 50 vears ago. The item s the money spent on heat, automobiles, gasoline and labor. Its existence was brought out by the interest which the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association took in a re- cent_report from Cornell ‘Agricultural College, which gave the.actu penses of the su x, three children and )th lived on the same “The budget Year 1580 Year 1924 § ence is not creased living expenses.

Hroad At Richmond, Va ested 1n our own fleet of cars and trucks ROAD TESTS In 2 609-mile road test on a Ford run from Sept. 24 to Oct. 22, 1925, the new “Standard” Mo- tor Oil showed a substantial decrease in both oil and gas consumption. 12.8% increase in oil mileage 12.3% increase in gas mileage And the driver could actually feel a difference in the operation of hum—ampflwed lng,uu E elimination of tl s:-.’vhlc the motor had pre- viously shown on hills and the removal of the carbon which had been in the motor when the new oil was put in. Mock Tested on the road from Sept. 24 to Oct. 22, 1925, for 3,779 miles in a big AC Mack Truck, the new “Standard” Motor Oil showed splendid results. 19.5% increase in oil mileage 20.9% increase in gas mileage Less friction Cooler motor Increased power Less motor drag Other Mack motors tested for carbon deposit demonstrated that the new “Standard” Motor Oil removed existing carbon and deposited none itself. OME three years ago the & “~@) Standard Oil Company (N. J.) developed a new prin- ciple in motor lubrication. Laboratory experiments pointed to conclusions so far- reaching that it was decided to go through with a series of exhaustive service tests before offering the new “Standard” Motor Oil for sale to the motoring public. As an outcome of this proposal another de- cision was reached; namely, to include in these tests our own fleet of cars and trucks. Con- sequently, for over 12 months our “Standard” motor vehicles have run on this oil —a gruel- ling tryout, for these service vehicles are constantly bucking unfavorable conditions in their round. * Just as the laboratory tests had gone beyond expectations, so did these service tests. The ef- fects of “Standard” Motor Oil were amazing. Better lubrication—no breaking down under motor heat—reduced friction when starting cold —all these things —clean it from cylinder-walls, pis- ton-heads, even from spark-plugs. In a fleét of restless, hard-worked trucks and service-cars, such qualities as these in a lubri- ® © 6 o0 o Ordinary oil tends New **Standard™ to drop away from Motor Oil of same metal surfaces it :’mhr ;nd consis- long left standing, (SOCY RGI3ess’s causing period of Sipter, factoe of frictionateachnew pur.” Note larger, start of motor. oiliet drops. cating oil are beyond price. Seasoned drivers were given a free hand to test the new oil to the limit. They returned enthusiastic. They took hills better. They throt-, tled down better. They could actually “feel the difference” while driving. An oilier oil that clings * permanently to metal © surfaces Our lubrication experts have at last solved the problem of an oilier oil that will cling to mietal surfaces and at the same time will be of the proper consistency—not too thick or too heavy. Even when a motor has were expected after the laboratory experience. Authentic Saving in gasoline consumption Some things, however, nobody was prepared for. Nobody expected a lubri- cating oil to bring about an increase in gas-mileage of as high as 12%. Few expected an increase in power of from 3% to 10%. Finally, though it was be- lieved that this oil would be non-carbon-forming, it was not foreseen that it would soften and actu- ally clean out much of the carbon alreadyformed 7 Advantages found only in “Standard” Motor Oil 1 Constant lubrication-film on metal surfaces. 2 Frictionless operation, in a practical sense, even upon starting after idleness. Less “breaking down” under load or at high speeds. 4 More miles per quart of oil and less crank-case dilution. S Better hill climbing and smoother operation in high gear at low speeds.

Such lubrication spells “long life to motors” in terms that have probably never been equalled in the automotive industry. “Standard” Motor Oil on sale now at “Standard” Service Stations and at dealers.

Its black color after the firstfilling has beendrawn off shows that it affects existing carbon. Drive 300 miles with the new oil — then drain your crank- case.
