It is due per- haps to the bigness of the country and its opportunities. Knowing the facts, the average Westerner is able to think things out clearly for himself. You Be the Judge in This Case We contend that price is not an indica- tion of the quality of lubricating oils sold on the Pacific Coast. BA High merchandising and long-haul transportation costs account for the high price of many oils sold here. A Better Oil at a Lower Price The object of lubrication is to reduce friction and wear to a minimum. Zerolene oils and greases reduce fric- tion and wear to a greater extent than any lubricants we have seen and tested or been able to produce for the automo- bile. A reliable indication of an oil’s purity and stability is the amount of carbon it forms, Zerolene oils produce on an average 30% less carbon than other oils, They produce less carbon than any other oils known to us. Zerolene oils are made from selected Western Naphthenic Crude, which, experts agree, produces an oil having greater penetrating or “crawling” quali- ties and greater adhesiveness than oils made from any other crude. A practical demonstration will con- vince you of the quality of Zerolene. Flush out your crankcase with Calol Flushing Oil, the new scientific crank- case and engine cleanser, refill with Zero- lene oil of the proper body for your car, then note the following —Advantages of Zerolene— Perfect lubrication,—less friction and wear,—indicated by added power to the wheels on the ground and by greater mileage from your Red Crown gasoline, Greater flexibility in the engine. Less carbon, You will probably drive from 25% to 50% farther than you would with any other oil before it will be neces- sary to have the valves cleaned. You will have less work and more satisfaction from your automobile, fewer repair bills and longer useful life from the car. You could not afford to use any other oil, if Zerolene were the most expensive on the market. How much more reason there is for using it when you save even on its initial cost? STANDARD OIL COMPANY
