F Street at Qth His Trucks Run Better After 100,000 Miles, Says Burdge Red Bank, N.J.,Operator Needs No Mechanics to Maintain his 15 Buses, Vans and Trucks Stresses Importance of Good Motor Oil The problem of lubrication fails to worry W. A. Burdge of Burdge & Sons, Red Bank, N. J. He picked the proper motor oil when he started business, and depended on it to take care of his trucks. It did. “Right now,” says Mr. Burdge, “any one of our 29-passenger buses can step out in high speed from a complete stop. That shows ex- cellent condition it anything does. Most cars are worn out after 100,000 miles, but we don’t consider a bus really good until it has gone that far. Drivers Prefer Oldest Trucks “Pretty strong statement? Well—maybe. But recently 1 had to send a,man on a long trip and told him to take our newest bus. Instead of being pleased he asked if he couldn’t take the one that has 375,000 miles credited to its motor. He knew it was the best job we have. “That,” continued Mr. Burdge, “merely illus- trates my" point—the value of good lubrica- tion. Throughout the eleven years we have been in business we have used *Standard’ Motor Oil exclusively in every one of our buses, vans and trucks. 3 “Here’s another secret. When a bus comes in from a hard run of many miles at high and steady speed we insert a dose of ‘Standard’ Penetrating Oil through the carburetor to lubricate the valves and keep them from sticking. Another way we keep the buses in good , condition is to spray the springs with ‘Standard’ Penetrating Oil. In fact, we use almost the entire line of ‘Standard’ Oils and Greases.” We planned this special for and $30 Real honest-to-goodness $25, $27.50 and $30 values. We'll leave it to you. See them in our windows and compare. Good Treatment Helps A great many bus and truck operators agree with Mr. Burdge, when he says that good trucks could be ruined easily with paor oils and careless treatment. But not with “Stand- ard” Motor Oil, oilier, especially processed from crudes picked for their qualities of lubrication. Thoroughly refined. A richer, smoother, full-bodied oil that smothers fric- tion and clings and protects every metal contact surface. On sale everywhere you sce the “Standard” Motor Oil sign.
