I can look across the Sound and see @ $15,000,000 watering place at Eagle Harbor, where again selfish interests blocked big business and again lost. I cannot help but helleve that there are hundreds of such projects lost to Seattle thru pure selfishness upon the part of certain interests and I predict that Seattle will con- tinue to stand still till big men cone to the fore and, as Frank Water.

The difference usually goes into heavy transportation and marketing costs. “But I want a paraffin base oil.” Answer: Expert opinion has agreed that the best crude from which to make motor oil is Western Naphthenic Crude. Zerolene is made from carefully se- lected Naphthenic Crude, which pro- duces lubricants of greater penetrating | or “crawling” qualities, and greater adhesive- ness. For this reason they give better lubrica- tion. They reduce friction and wear to a mini- mum. Furthermore, they produce less carbon and are more stable when properly refined. Truly, you can buy no better oil than Zerolene. “T have been told that I will use more of Zerolene than of an Eastern oil.” Answer: You will not have to buy more of Zerolene than of any other oil, but when you clean out your crankcase after 750 miles of running, as you should no matter what oil you use, there may be as much as 7% less Zerolene in the crankcase than | there would be of some other oils. The reason for this, which follows, is highly in favor of Zerolene. | Zerolene is made in bodies which ena- | | ble it to penetrate to all bearing surfaces, and to keep the pistons and cylinders well protected with oil. Zerolene does this constantly because it has the right body at all operating temperatures. Be- cause it lubricates the cylinders and pistons so well and continuously, a little Zerolene works into the combustion chambers with each piston stroke. This oi] is then consumed. Many other higher-priced oils cannot be itted to do this, for in they would oul the combustion chambers with an excess of carbon in a very short time. Like Clean Shooting Ammunition— 25% to 50% Less Carbon If there is one sure test of the stability and purity of an oil, it is in 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. With Zerolene lubrica- tion you will be able to drive your car from 25% to 50% farther without having the valves ground or the cylinders rebored. Zerolene oil and grease lubrication will give you greater horse-power at the wheels on the d, and thus deliver to you more mileage rom your Red Crown gasoline. Use Zerolene. It will save your car and your money. Zerolene lubrication will add years to the life of your car. It will give it greater power and flexibility, and en- able you to get greater mileage from your Red Crown gasoline. It will cut down every item of upkeep cost, except storage and polishing. Insist on Zerolene. Buy by the Chart, Ask for Zerolene by name.
