Modern Motorist Now Relies Upon Experts For His Car Lubrication A fJt'nrnia wientlst nnnunnccs ho haw discovered the sex center nf Dip bruin.

A Sad But Appreciative Customer Said to Us the Other Day "I wish I hud purchased some oil from you when you told me I needed some " lie was sad because his oil ran low, causing a burnt-out bearing and consequent expense. But he appreciated the fact that we had gone to the trouble of checking the oil and the erankcase and suggesting that he needed a quart. Next, time he will willingly take our word for it and fill up with TEXACO Golden Motor Oil. Heasty & George Corner Adams and Second If vft not no lon;r uiro lhat many our owners not only lubricated their own cars, hut alo iii.i1 ull ,11k ir own minor n pairs. Of Into y'ars,-how r-wr, a new typo of com plrte hiltriculiiiii service hus nuulo the illrtiesi unit mast unnUninnt part of tliis work unneccHsury .Most car owners now- have their cars luin icatfil by Kiinixi'S or ul sonic Sfi-vit-f station. Vet few reiiltzo the ilit'fereiiee in the lubricants usiil ly various service stalioTis ami the repair hills that lvmilt from faulty hibrica t ion The iniporlanco 'of correct lu luicatiim is h-st shown by a srrics of tiHin which were conducted ftt Iowa State colkne proving that ii-' pt i cent of thf lotal upkeep on a ear is InrjrHy ib-peiulent upon tlie type of lubrication that It icets. KiKiin s obtained from these tests proveil that (1) cost of oil (-') tho cost of Riisotlne :t) maintenance eofls. niul-(4) ilepieciation were largely dependent upon the lubri cation which the car received. The d. preclatiun of a cur, Incidentally was rated in these tests as 30. S per cent of the total operating cost. Kroni thtMe figure, it is easily seen that if car owners wish to wave themselves monfy and keep their cars always la trim, they must not merely rely on lubrica tion at frequent Inlervelx. They must also lubricato their cars with the proper kinds of quality lubri cants. A New Idea In this connection, H. W: Ful ton, chief automotive engineer of the Tide Water Oil company which has been manufacturing quality automobile lubiicanW for 15 years, save out tho following statement in a recent Interview: "An averaK car owner drives up to a service station and asks to have his car completely lubri cated. Too of ten" instead of set ting lubriennts of one, uniform high qmilJty, he nets a motor oil of one make, a Rear lubricant of another make, and u chassis lubrl cant of still third. Insti ad of driving way vrtlh complete, hiKh quality lubrication, he gets nn un reliable assortment of lubricants. Kvery friction spot of the modern motor must be protected by qual ity lubricants in order to wlth- Istund tin- terrific speed at which it runs. Therefore, the protection ' accorded by miscellaneous lubri cants is very fur from complote." j National CaiupntH" j To Imprews cir owners with the i necessity of tfettinj? complete car 'lubrication, periodically, and to mnhe It easy for them to Ret cor i rect hit,'li quullty lubricants for every part of their cars transmls Islon, differential and chassis tho i'l'idii Water Oil Kales corporation is conducting an educatonul cam- IalK throughout the country. In maKuities and newspapers, this organization, pioneers in the fi-ld. are impri'ssiiiK' upon motorists I lu fact that average lubrication is not adeiuaic lubrication. Correct .lu brication needs to be done by an expert. This company reports that car owners find the small cost of regu lar complete Veedol lubrication id more than offset by tiii; increased protection 1 his st-rviee iriws in warding off t roublo and repnir bills. They have 1ak'-n pubis to make their dealers lubrication ex perls men who work fast with out overlooking n single one of the So to so friction spots in tho modern automobile. And lhy re port that Ciir owners who consts Hi'iitly patronize Veedol dealers find- that their motors run more smoothly, more. efficiently, and that their cars have nn increased .second-hand value. Kxperts have Ioiik since proved that correct lubrication is the most important factor in keeping ca i's in perfect niechanical condition. Tliey have proved beyond doubt, that poor lubrication is tin; direct or Indirect cause of Tf per Cent of all car bills. In this day and Keneralion most car owners are not mechanics and don't want to bo. Since they must rely on the. ser vices of oil dealers, it pays them to patronize the dealers reprewnt-Iiik- oil companieH who make n spe cialty of correct lubrication, and whose dealers follow I ho scien tific recommendations which aru found In tho Veedol Lubrication (lulde issued by Ihe Tld Waler Oil Sales corporation.

The balloon tire with heavy, flat tread design is obvi ously stiffer and rides harder. The excess rubber, placed for appearance at the edges of the tread, is not only wasted but produces hinging action causing ply separa tion and "shoulder breaks." Firestone designed and manufactures OldficKI Tires and Tubes, distributing them direct to Firestone Dealers only.through 1 48 Factory Warehouse. Thii effic ient and economical distribution assures tire buyers everywhere, clean, fresh stocks of Firestone and Oldlield Tires in all types and sizes, and has helped to make possible today's remarkably low prices the lowest in tire history.
