But whether or not you have made this trip, you'll be interested, as a motor- ist, in knowing that the twenty-five Pierce-Arrow cars used in this service are lubricated with Zerolene. The man- ager of this famous stage line writes: “We have been operating a stage line since 1911 and have always used Zerolene. Re- cently we disposed of some cars that had been in our service for ten years, and dur- ing that period none of them had ever had a bearing scraped.” Whether you drive a Pierce-Arrow or a Ford, the use of Zerolene, of the proper body, will not only cut down your oil bill, but give you greater gasoline mileage, less carbon, lower upkeep costs, and a longer life for your car, Big users refuse to pay tribute to the old su- perstition that there is something mysteriously “better” about “eastern” oils — why should you pay that tribute? Insist on Zerolene, even if it does cost less.
