KA B. We arrived at Chehalis about 20 minutes Iate,- getting there about 346 a m. I did got see any dele gate on the train the worse for drinking nor did I see any passing or using a bottle. As wo were leaving the Chehalis station for the hotel we met about six or eight men, who said they ‘now if they were King county One of the most important requirements of a good motor oil is that it possess stability—that is, that it maintain its chemical composition and its lubricating body under all conditions of engine operation. If an oil changes its chemical composition—"breaks down”—at high operating temperatures, it can no longer maintain a lubricating film between the bearing surfaces, and its value as a lubricant is destroyed. Certain crude oils possess a higher degree of stability . than others. Because of its large production of practi- cally every type of crude, this company is free to choose for the making of Zerolene only those crudes which are particularly adapted for the purpose. The Patented Vacuum Process In the process of distilling and refining these selected crudes, it is of the greatest importance not to destroy their natural “oiliness” and stability. For this reason we employ our own patented high-vacuum process ex- clusively. By this process the oil produced—Zerolene— retains all the natural “oiliness” and stability of the original, selected crude from which it is made. No other refiner on the Pacific Coast uses any form of vacuum distillation. No other refiner in the United States uses as high a vacuum as this company. Zerolene of the correct grade for your car gives perfect lubrication and permits the development of maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage. &speed ion and wear ~ thru (Correct Lubrication gentieman | will buy our houses and make up to| auld many of us go for a) » Defends Lake (California) as they did not Two of them had been but only enough to mako They 4/4 laugh drinking, them full of fun jand talk joud all the way up the street.
