In six months its performance had battered down all the skepticism of dealers and users who regarded our claims as impossible, and WARCO oil had a national distribution. Meanwhile, competitors, as we anticipated, attempted to follow us, and a con- fusing array of “chatterless” and “non-chatter” oils came in a flood, each ming to be the original. Naturally, most of these imitations were untested guesses at a formula and a process on which we had been working for years, in‘ the interests of Ford dealers and Ford owners.
